"took accutane for almost a year. my dermatologist made me complete the course to make sure that my acne does not come back. during the entire period, i had dry eyes, dry skin, dry hair. i had to lotion, condition and use eye drops lip balm very frequently. however, my acne cleared big time. i still occasionally get smaller pimples but not the big ones that i used to have on my back or on my face. not recommended for sportsmen. i had to double my application of sunblock because i am frequently under the sun and while consuming accutane it is not recommended for you to be under the sun for too long a time."
