Hey Guys,

I'm not sure if this post belongs here, but here it goes. I was on Accutane four years ago and it completely changed my life. As much as it sucked, I was able to get something great out of it. Below is the link of the TED Talk I gave about my experience.

 

Thanks!

Thanks Robert! I've been getting Fraxel laser treatments for the past few months as well to clean up scarring. It's annoying to go to the doctor but not as bad as having to get blood drawn and all the other accutane stuff. Please share my video with your friends, family and enemies. ;)

LOVED this Ted talk! Thank you so much, Jake for being vulnerable enough to share your story as well as another path acne sufferers can choose to take.
