"i didn&#039;t get acne until i was 18 and did every diet, cleanser, spot treatment out there for about 6 years. i ended up so depressed with horrible hormonal acne on my chin/chest and was losing the battle. i was always against accutane because the horrible side effects associated with it. my chest cleared up by the first month. the results are amazing and i finally feel like i&#039;m thriving rather than hiding behind thick coats of makeup and high cut shirts. so, its a really complicated process to even start the whole accutane journey. you have to get your blood drawn once a month and women have to be on birth control. its very expensive and your skin will completely dry out but worth it. drink lots of water, eat healthy &amp; aquaphor. worth it!!!"
