"i&#039;ve had acne since i was 11. nothing my doctor prescribed had any effect on my skin so i started my course of isotretinoin when i was 17. in short, it gets worse before it gets better. my skin only started improving in the last month of my course. i still have acne but it&#039;s not nearly as bad (and with my newly vamped up skincare routine it&#039;s getting better daily).
as with most acne treatments, it was pretty drying (you&#039;ll need a good moisturizer and lip balm) but it&#039;s nothing permanent. i didn&#039;t find the pregnancy/blood tests a hassle either, at this point i was willing to do anything to sort out my skin. i think it was totally worth it! if, like me, you&#039;ve had acne for years and years, it&#039;s definitely worth a try!"
