"my face was horrendous before i used (ro)accutane, to the point i couldn&#039;t see out of my left eye due to the level of spots/boils i had swelling up and becoming one. i noticed a difference on accutane after a month or so, but the real improvements start after approximately 2 months depending on how bad you have it (mine was really bad and aggressive). i would definitely recommend reading the book of side effects you are given, i am &quot;lucky&quot; as i only really suffered with depression, which as most of us know you do so if you have acne anyway. one recommendation is not going in direct sun light until a month or so after finishing the treatment, and finding a very good face and lip moisturiser and these 2 parts will become very very dry!"
