How Long Are Most People on Accutane?

Asked By:anniecorney in Bethesda, Maryland

I'm debating about talking to my dermatologist about getting Accutane. I have had moderate acne for YEARS and every time I go to the derma he just gives me something a "step up" but NOTHING has solved the problem completely. I only have moderate acne but it's incredibly persistent and annoying. What's the accutane time-line for people with moderate acne? How long would I be on/when would I see results?
