“Accutane worked for severe acne but worried about sun exposure”

Accutane: Worth it

Cost: $500
Pain: Uncomfortable
Accutane satisfaction: Very good4 Star Rating: Very good

I've been on Accutane for ten months, and now that summer is here, I've considered stopping due to the amounts of sun I am being exposed to.

I started with Accutane because I had quite severe acne and have had a very positive experience with it. The only downside is that I often go very red in the face.

I'm planning on ending Accutane, but am worried that I have become too dependent on it, and am worried that my acne will return.

i also stoped it before summer and I immediatelly see the difference. But it wasn't like the first time (when I started the treatment). After 4 months I continue the treatment and the clear face returned very quickly, in 15 days.
