"i am 42 years old.  i first took accutane 30 years ago when i was 12 years old.  i had extremely bad acne.  i took my second round of accutane at 20.  i took a third round at 23.  in between i have tried every medication and cream known to man.

without accutane there is no doubt i would have severe scarring.  it&#039;s not a lifetime cure for all.  i haven&#039;t been able to wear contacts since my mid twenties due to chronic dry eyes.  the side  effects can be tough.  however, without accutane, my life would have been much different."
