"i&#039;ve had acne since i was 11, and tried everything imaginable, all prescription medications, all otc treatments, natural stuff, but nothing worked. i was referred to a dermatologist and i was the one who asked for accutane, and he agreed after some blood work. 

i forget the dose i was on, but it took around 6 months for me to clear, i was on it for 8 months in total. 

i relapsed last year though (stayed clear for around a year) which is probably my fault because i wasn&#039;t washing my face or taking care of it. 

i&#039;m now on acne.orgs regime and i&#039;m clear again :)"
