Pros:
Clears skin for several months to a few years at a time. Dries oily skin. Affordable.
Cons:
Very dry lips and flaky skin around the mouth. My joints ached in the beginning but got better after a couple of weeks. I didn't notice irritability or psychological affects. The IPledge program is a pain but easy to participate in.
Pros:
REALLY cleared up my skin very quickly
Inexpensive if you have health insurance
Cons:
Achy joints, VERY dry lips, irritability, very expensive if you don't have health insurance-even generic. Ipledge program is absurd and pointless, very inconvenient medication to take. DON'T use hot wax while on this medication! (Sugar waxing fine)
Pros:
Cleared up very well. Hardly broke out while I was on it. Effects seem to last. I had no initial breakout (though some do). Better than anything I had ever used. Simple to take a pill everyday.
Cons:
Acne came back (though much milder) a year later (for some it doesnt). Does not help much for red marks. Cannot use any other treatments (peels or topicals) while on it. Lots of potential side effects. Can be expensive. Not easy to be prescribed.
Pros:
Isotretinoin is the only thing that seemed to work. After about 10 days blackheads started to dry out and diminish. 40mg a day and no harsh side effects.
Cons:
Pretty disappointing that I found a treatment that finally works, but can't complete it due my sensitive liver. Had dry lips,scalp,arms, mild headaches, and loss of appetite. Nothing too intolerable.
Pros:
Clear skin, Smooth Skin, no blemishes
Cons:
chapped lips, itchy hair, hair loss
relatively high price, doctors appointments,
Pros:
Only been a week but have had comments already about better complextion
