There is no good published data that Argan oil has any benefit.  As an MD, I rely on evidence-based medicine when recommending a product or treatment.

I think this dose was too low.  You need 0.5 - 1 mg/kg per day for at least 20 weeks to get maximum efficacy on Accutane.

Accutane does not cause scarring, but it can unmask a scar that was underneath your active acne.  Accutane also does not help any scars you already have, but it prevents scarring that would have been caused by persistent acne lesions.
