How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Accutane was my last resort after trying other creams, pills, multi-step facial cleansing systems, etc., and it was definitely worth every penny and every side effect. I was on Accutane for 6 months in 2009 and haven't had anything more than tiny hormonal breakouts since. I went from having bright red skin and severe cystic acne to having clear, even toned skin.
Side effects I experienced included extremely dry, flaky skin, chapped and cracked lips, mild nose bleeds, and flaming red skin (all of which went away promptly after my last month of treatment). My monthly blood work remained normal and healthy over the course of my treatment, and I didn't experience any emotional side effects like depression.
For me, the side effects were absolutely worth the results, just exfoliate, moisturize, and make sure to use Aquaphor - it was a lifesaver, especially during the winter months. :)

Provider Review
My doctor was great, took the time to answer all my questions, and made sure I knew my options and the pros and cons of all treatment plans.
