"i am 20 years old and have been suffering with acne since i was 14. i tried every topical lotions, antibiotics, and face washes you can think of and nothing worked on my stubborn skin. i was terrified of going on accutane because of some bad reviews i read about it. after talking with my dermatologist, i decided to give accutane a shot. best decision of my life!! i am currently almost done with my third month and my skin feels so smooth and looks amazing. i have so much more confidence in myself and can go out without worrying about my skin looking horrible. the only side effects i have gotten so far are dry skin and very dry lips (i carry chapstick with me 24/7!). other than that, all i can say is accutane is truly a miracle."
