"taking isotretinoin is the best decision i made to treat my acne. it was only 7 months ago i was helplessly looking through these forums for advice and experiences from ex users of the medicine. acne was dominating my thoughts, and you become very self conscious. the first 4 months are slow improvements, however in others, by 4 months their acne has cleared. taking the medicine makes your lips dry, but i advice you cleanse and moisturize everyday, and use a lip balm or pawpaw cream. if you play sports this medicine is perfectly fine. the best advice i have however is not too have caffeine in your diet, this is essential, a good diet is also good, and exercise everyday. i highly, highly recommend taking this medicine, it changed my life."
