Took it when I was 28. Still had moderate acne on face, back and chest. Worked after a few weeks. Stayed on it for 6 months. Never had an outbreak since. I'd do it again. Not one side-effect.

Great review?

Did you experience any hair loss while on it? Ive been on it since Dec. 11th and my hair is soo thin. I already had thin hair to begin with but now its reeeeally thin. Im considering stopping it. Also, my family has noticed my complexion is looking quite yellow. Any thoughts?

Hi topaz, 

Did you do anything like a Chemical Peel while on Accutane? Other community members have mentioned that the combination of a Chemical Peel and Accutane worked great. 

Thanks,

-Britt
