WORTH IT$140

I am 15. I started getting acne in 5th grade and it got more and more severe. I became afraid of getting scarring and my acne was getting very bad.

All i can say about this product is that it never effected me negatively besides drying me out, but it worked wonderfully. i was soooo afraid of starting it but everytime i had to get my blood taken or take another pill, i would just picture my skin clear again. i took 30mg for 7 months and never get any acne!! i have a little bit of scarring but not anything too bad.

im sooo glad i took Accutane. and i know its cheesy but it seriously boosted my self esteem and changed my life. i actually get compliments on my skin now! i almost cried when i went to the MAC cosmetics store and she said "you dont need that much coverage! just use powder because you have gorgeous skin". absolutely amazing medicine and i now have 4 friends on it. all positive results. my advice to you is to try it.

I'm about to start it too and a little bit nervous about the acne getting worse before it gets better. My acne is very mild, but I am starting to get the cysts. Ugh! Good luck though!

Same! I'm worried about the your-acne-gets-worse-before-it-gets-better side effect :/ I just started it today though! 20 mg every second day for 2 weeks

i have tried that and some other pills. for my doctor, accutane was a last resort. BUT he highly recommended it and said it was safe, and that the warnings about it are SUPER few and far between.

Hello, I am considering starting accutane, I am from the Houston area but would love to know where you got your accutane from because you got it for a good price! Thanks!

I am in basically the same boat. I am 15 and have had acne since sixth grade. I have tried a lot of different things such as antibiotics, differin, and countless over the counter acne treatments. I am worried about trying accutane and my dermatologist wants to try other things first but he ultimately thinks i will need accutane to completely clear it. You are giving me hope!! Thanks!!
