Worth It
Spent: $300 in Bowie, Maryland

Previously had really bad congenital facial acne. Was an athlete year-round - exposed to dust/sweat a lot more.

The scarring was pretty bad and Accutane really cleared it up. Tried everything else - Retin A, Salycilic Acid, Doxycycline 5 mg, ProActiv.

The acne was often painful and so I gave it a go. There was initial dryness and peeling, however, after some-time it really kicked in and my skin was perfect as if I never had acne to begin with.

Really dries out your lips, will need chapstick 24/7. It did effect my sleep a bit, but nothing I couldn't deal with.

Highly recommended if you want your good skin back...

Are you still using it? I'm thinking of starting it, but worried about how long I should take it after it hopefully does the job.
