"i went on accutane twice in my early 20&#039;s. it cleared my skin.  i suffered from mild-moderate acne not extreme cystic acne. afterwards everyone commented on how amazing my skin was. it&#039;s an amazing medicine. the only side effect i had was dry lips which i dealt with by buying elizabeth arden 8 hour cream. accutane has a powerful anti-ageing effect as it wipes out a lot of the photoageing you have suffered up to the point you start taking it. i am now 45 and look 10 years younger. i credit accutane for the fact that i look so much younger than my years. it is a great medicine."
