Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
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.

Dose increased to 50mg beginning month 3
I was an 40mg for two months and the oiliness decreased significantly. It is absolutely fabulous not having to blot my skin several times daily.
My breakouts have definitely decreased, but haven't stopped completely. The MD increased my dose to 50mg and I can definitely tell a difference. My skin is dryer almost to the point of stinging. My arms have red marks... Pic included.
It's still worth it. My oily skin was so annoying. I've learned that it's better to leave breakouts alone... If I pick, the wound lasts a lot longer.
Sunscreen is a must. I went to my boys soccer games and got sunburnt, which wouldn't have happened before Accutane. Still going strong!

Almost one month since Accutane start
The painful bumps are going away. Now the texture of my skin is rough with little bumps all over. If I scratch them, it's like a plug of sebum comes out of it. Gross! My face is definitely less oily. I love that part of it. I go back to the doctor Monday and I hope he increases my dose.
Still breaking out
Currently, I look like Rudolph. Huge painful bumps on my nose, mouth, and chin.
