"i had moderate to severe acne which affected my self esteem immensely.  i would not leave my room without makeup caked on and even then i felt terrible about myself.  i tried absolutely everything before accutane.  literally everything.  this medication changed my life.  i am acne free, and its been 2 years since i ended my course of accutane.  the only side effect that has stayed with me even after 2 years is my piercings and other thing take 10 times longer to heal, some piercings haven&#039;t healed at all in fact.  but apart from that, it is the best choice i have ever made. this medication is a miracle, seriously, its worth the shot.  it cleared up my acne to the point where i now have perfect skin.  this changed my life."
