"my acne reached it&#039;s worst when i was a sophomore in high school.  when i went to the dermatologist i was given accutane and immediately went online to read reviews on the medicine.  almost every review i read said that it was ineffective with awful side effects and i almost didn&#039;t fill my prescription because of it.  however, i will tell you that it was honestly the best thing that ever happened to me.  it worked incredibly well with lasting results.  it was literally a miracle.  of course i experienced some side effects such as back pain, slight hair loss, very dry skin and lips, but six months of mild discomfort was definitely worth beautiful skin. i highly recommend it!"
