Spironolactone or Accutane: which is the better acne drug?

MelodyInOC
I'm a 32-year-old woman and my face is covered with acne. I've tried numerous topical treatments, diet modification, and birth control pills with no success. About 60% of my acne resides on my chin and the rest is scattered throughout my face. I'm sick of avoiding events because I look like a Proactiv before picture and I'm ready to try a prescription. Would you recommend Spiro or Accutune? Can a patient take both simultaneously? I'm desperate to expedite this process.
