"i am a 25 year old female and i struggled with acne for approximately 7-8 years before starting zenatane (isotretinoin). i tried several topical and oral medications with little to no success. it became extremely upsetting and frustrating to wake up an extra 30 minutes just to &quot;cover up&quot; my breakouts. i finally made the decision to speak to my dermatologist about accutane, and after completing some research i decided to go on it. i have completed close to one month on this pill and it is truly a miracle! my face has cleared and instead of having several cystic breakouts during &quot;that time of the month&quot; i only had one. the only side effects i have yet to experience are dry lips. i highly recommend this medication!"
