"i had to rate accutane highly, as it did exactly as advertised. i lived with chronic cystic acne for most of my teenage years, and went on accutane at 20. six months of treatment, and my acne was gone. i&#039;m 37 now, and have not experienced any long term side effects other than having my acne cured. i tried many medicines to treat the condition, but this one flat-out cured it. i would not have thought it possible."
