"i&#039;ve been on accutane for three months now and have already seen a major difference in my skin. my skin used to be super oily to the point where even right after i washed my face there was a layer of oil. after the first month all the oil had dried up, but i still had acne (which is obviously to be expected). now, after just 3 months my acne is almost completely gone. granted, i always have to have chapstick wherever i go since my lips are very dry, but it is manageable. i also have to make sure to apply lotion regularly especially on colder days. other than the dryness, i have had no other side effects and would certainly say that the side effects i have had are worth it."
