"i%u2019m 22, female &amp; just started month 4. i am glad i started accutane, although it is quite expensive. my monthly blood draws are $250 each time, with health insurance. the worst side effect for me is the dryness, especially my lips. carmex in a stick has worked best for me over aquaphor. i use cetaphil facial moisturizer &amp; cleanser. i use each of them morning &amp; night &amp; they have worked well. i would recommend this medication to any acne sufferers, it%u2019s amazing the confidence you gain with clear skin. i have been so much more outgoing since i don&#039;t have to worry about people staring at my latest pimple. i can%u2019t wait for summer where i will be able to go to the beach without make-up and not be self-conscious about it!"
