"i took accutane for about 6 months, on the 5th month i noticed significant changes to my skin. by the end of the 6th month my face was completely clear and i was only left with scarring. it has been 3 and a half year since i have taken accutane, i can say with certainty that it was the best decision i made for my skin, even my scarring has almost disappeared. after my acne cleared up i was  more confident and didn&#039;t even feel the need to wear any makeup like i did prior to this medication. the only bad side effect i got from this drug was extremely dry/chapped lips and skin, to the point where  my lips would bleed from dryness. i would suggest putting a heavy moisturiser and chapstick on every day."
