I used accutane in 2006, and all I can say is that it worked really well for me. I suffered with really bad acne and scarring for all of my teenage life. Although I had healthy self esteem growing up, I always wished I could just be rid of it and have flawless skin like my other sisters or friends. I tried several oral and topical medications, the known ones on the market. I went to see a new dermatologist and he recommended it. Within a few months everything was gone and I had very healthy looking lush skin. It was an expensive treatment, and I had the cracked lips etc, my doctor also did frequent tests to monitor my liver function. I am happy that my experiences were good, and today 5 years later, I still have clear skin. I get a tiny outbreak around my period but my acne is gone.
