"my acne became severe around the age of 16, and i tried every product (oral and topical medications.) some helped for a little while, but my acne was never really gone. at 21, my acne was the worst it had ever been. always hormonally motivated, i developed cystic acne, and started to experience physical discomfort as well as self-esteem issues.
i was on accutane for 5 months. my side effects were extremely dry skin, and i had one week on the medication where my mood was dramatically affected. however, the last 2 months on the medication i had zero acne, and i saw steady improvement while on it. now i not only have perfectly clear skin, i have nice skin. and i can&#039;t remember the last time i broke out! life-changing for me!"
