Used Isotretinoin (Accutane®)? Rate It:
Cons:
Dry lips, but totally managable. After I ended, my pore looks a little bigger just because the dead skin cells stretched inside because of drying my "oily skin" so intensely.
Pros:
It cleared up my acne COMPLETELY, and worked like a miracle.
Cons:
During the session I got chapped lips, dry skin, more acne, eczema on my arms and legs.
Cons:
dry lips, sun-sensitivity ( just use sunscreen if its a problem, i have rosacea on my nose but it doesnt get red w/ sunscreen.) hmmm expensive if you dont have insurance, with decent insurance i getit for 5$.
Pros:
Brand Accutane was a miracle drug for me. One 5 month dose and I was cured of Acne for life. I took it in 1984. I am now 45 years old and have never broken out again, even during/after 2 pregnancies.
Cons:
Dry palms, dry lips, dry hair. Acne gets worse before it gets better.
Pros:
Cleared up my acne
Cons:
extremely chapped lips
Pros:
NONE!
Cons:
I was on it for over NINE months, it did nothing but enflame my acne even worse. I have found other products since. I had to suffer through side effects with no results at all.
Pros:
it cleared up all my acne that i had for years that was very servere
Cons:
the product worked but at took forever, i almost gave up plenty of time and my lips was dry is ever. it made my face 10x worst and i couldn't deal with it. i had the worst case because it took 12 weeks to clear and that was the biggest pain in my LIF
Pros:
amazing!no more pimples!!(btw i had nodular cystic acne)
Cons:
dry skin,lips,nosebleeds,rashy arms,red acne scars a bit of redness
Pros:
Uhmm, cures acne for 90% of people? If you have a reason to whine about it then just give up on clearing acne, its a miracle drug. I'm on my 3rd month and my skin looks perfect. I get dry lips but if you use a chapstick you shouldnt need to whine!
Cons:
NOTHING, its perfect!
Pros:
clear up acne and blackheads, less oily face and scalp. My pores are less visible and face feels smoother.
I get one or two tiny zits around my period now; not completely get rid of acne but has definitely helped a lot.
Cons:
dry lips, corner of mouth is flaky. Face is prone to redness and feels sore, especially after washing and brief sun exposure. Also have occasional eczema on arms. Mood swing and was more paranoid.
Pros:
Honestly, a MIRACLE drug! Cleared my hormonal acne within 3 weeks, and since I have ended it (6 months ago), haven't had a pimple since!
