"i took accutane a few years ago to clear up my swamp face (so oily!) and my breakouts weren&#039;t bad, but whenever i had one i&#039;d scar so bad...so i did 30mg 2x a day...took about two weeks but the oiliness went away and after about a month or two i was seeing beautiful skin. stayed clear for years after. chapstick, and heavy duty lotions and creams are important, and i also had to use eye drops as my eyes got dry. wonderful, wonderful medicine."
