the redness starts to fade almost as soon as the acne does, but yeah you'll have to get a peeling Ive only had one so far but ive noticed a huge change even at a low 20% concentration of S.A

Brilliant result! A close friend developed cystic acne in her very early twenties whilst we were in college and I know how it hit her self confidence. Your skin looks so smooth!

Hi Omera,
That's really great that accutane worked for you! Thanks for sharing your experience. I came across your story three years later and was wondering if your acne has stayed away or did you need to do a second round? I'm interested in doing a low dose course of 20mg/day like you did for my oily skin and stubborn hormonal acne. I am worried about the side effects. It sounds like you didn't have much. Thanks for your help!
