"i&#039;m a 24 y/o female that had been dealing with mild acne four about a decade (rarely cystic). i&#039;ve been on accutane for about a month and a half and my face is almost perfect. it&#039;s done wonders for my confidence - i can even go out without makeup now. the only side effect i have is severely chapped lips (like, severely) - but - the risk far outweighs the results. i have recommended this medication to so many people."
