At age 44 after battling acne for close to 35 yrs and trying every rx, home ready, witch dr any snake oil that I could find I am FINALLY giving in and starting Accutane. After the lengthy prep process to begin I will be picking up my rx from the pharmacy tomorrow. While I know there are many risks I hope/believe that the side effects will be worth the results. A good friend of mine did used the rx almost 20 yrs ago and never had one relapse. I will keep you all posted to my progress!

Great review?

I am so interested to hear how this goes for you!! I'm 34 and did Accutane years ago in my early 20's but had to stop before I was finished with my second round due to side effects. I have been considering trying it again, but haven't been sure I want to do it again, or how it would work for someone in our age range - so please keep us posted!!

As I'm sure you know, stock up on lip balm and moisturizer. I found that bag balm worked great for my lips because it is so moisturizing.
