I love what it has done to my skin. I finally got off September 2013 after being on it for 7 months. I started getting dry lips a month of being on it. I started having some dry patches in my problems areas. I would get soothing facials and I also spray a hydrating mist on my face several times a day especially at night before bed. It is the best thing I have ever done for my skin. I started not breaking out after about 4 months. I really have noticed a difference now that I no longer am on it. So I have been off it since 10/1/2013 and not one breakout and my skin look s great. I wish you luck. Everyone reacts differently and I was scared at first but I was willing to take a chance because I tried everything else. I would go on this again if i ever had to. The side effects were not as bad if you keep up with hydrating, sunblock, lip moisturizer and protecting your skin with soothing non irritating products.

Accutane is a miracle in pill form. The dryness and minor side effects occur quickly, but as long as you have a good facial moisturiser and lip balm/chap stick, you'll be fine.

I'm on month 4 and my skin has cleared up immensely. It's amazing.
