"accutane was one of the best things that ever happened to me! until i started taking accutane i had the lowest self esteem imaginable. didn&#039;t like looking in the mirror because it seemed like everyday there was a new pimple. it was hard not to pop them, but when i did they&#039;d leave awful scars that are still on my face to this day. after accutane, which took about a month to kick in, the bumps didn&#039;t come nearly as bad. while i was on the medication i had no acne whatsoever. my face was beautiful. i&#039;d recommend it. chapped lips and dry hair are a small price to pay for you to gain confidence to show people your face."
