"i&#039;m 16 years old and used to suffer from scarring acne. accutane was amazing. at first, i was so scared to go on this medication due to side effects, but my doctor had finally talked me into it. i started seeing amazing results after about a month. my skin was pretty much clear by month 3. the only side effects i had were dry lips (however aquaphor solved that problem) and dry skin (cetaphil after washing face or shower solved that problem). i also had a huge change in attitude. i was much more active and my appetite changed. i lost 30 lbs, i sometimes had cravings however i feel as though accutane sped up my metabolism. highly recommended, i feel beautiful now."
