"i had acne towards the end of middle school going into high school and by my sophomore year it was really a full blown problem. my cheeks and my forehead and almost every part of my face was covered in acne. after trying antibiotics and creams for 2 years i was recommended accutane. the first 4 months i did not see that much in results but when the 5th month hit it was intense. my face cleared up right away and i look like a completely different person! it was amazing. there were downsides though, the depression that it causes is real. i have been off the medication now for 3 1/2 years with my skin still looking great."
