  • Thanks for sharing your story. I can relate, because I suffered with acne as a teen. It was horrible. In the end, I found that natural cures worked the best for me, and I tried all kinds of pills and potions that weren't suitable for my type of acne.

    What I recommend to others now is a guide called "overnight acne cures" which gives step by step instructions on how to get rid of acne fast.

  • mine was worse than yours. hands down. But yours was still bad enough for accutane. congratulations!

  • dude ur acne isn't even bad. You should see mine. I've been on accutane for almost two months.

  • PS, looking past the acne, I can see an attractive guy. Your teeth are nice and white too.

  • Oh man that must have been painful for you. Emotionally I mean. I am an acne sufferer. I am at the beginning of month 3 of accutane. I am so glad I made that choice. Keep going, acne sufferers! You will find an answer to clear your skin. It sucks, it's embarrassing, and it makes you feel helpless and hopeless. Whatever you do, stay optimistic! :))

  • Your acne isn't too bad. Man, my acne is horrendous. Legit horrendous.

  • @Happym3 I suggest you go for the natural one.. Others definitely have side effects.. A good face pack neem leaves with a pinch of turmeric is very good for acne prone skin. More home remedies available at: StopAcneNow.co.cc

  • Did you have acne of your face just or on your body too?

  • Let me take a picture of my ass and post it on youtube an let see whos acne is worst

  • your cuuute

  • if u can make it through te 1st month or 2 then you'll be cool. those 1st couple months are terrible. my acne was out of control and my lips were KILLING ME. i'm close to finishing accutane though

  • dude I am in the same rut right now. I have been depressed for several months because my acne is worsening. I'm going on accutane soon.

  • sick flow lol

  • hey.please help. r you getting and more breakouts or whiteheads ..thanks

  • 5 years is enough. I don't want to have to risk years to wait if it clears up. I want to take the risk of accutane

  • I jst got on it and im only taking 1 pill a day so it doesnt get as bad and my body can get used to it...just me????

  • Geez..I take 2 pills a day and geeeez that stuff makes me feel blegh. BUT ITS WORKING!!!! But they scared the shit outta me when I had to sign papers..just in case..•__• and chapstick is my best friend right now -__-

  • dude try being me

  • i've seen a lot worse than him too

  • Hey guys, I have created an accutane video and will continue to - i started a bit late in week 21 but will post a video showing my progress from day as well in a slideshow soon!

  • I'm on my 2nd trial of Accutane. I wish I made one of these videos for the first time haha. I had awful acne before, about the same as yours in this video but maybe more clustered breakouts, and then Accutane really did help me. It definitely killed my lips but my acne cleared up so much after it was over with. Sadly, a few months later I got my acne back and it became severe again. I'm on it again, but this time my acne cleared up almost instantly upon starting it. I'm hoping it stays gone now

  • THATS NOT ACNE... I GOT ACNE.. Imagen your acne, only 10 times worse, and I have been on tetracycline for about 2,5 years now... Does anyone REALLY think I should try accutane?

  • @yotta2r dont do it, its worth it at first, but in the long wrong it fucks with your head

  • @yotta2r if i were you, i would go on it. my face has been extremely badsince 9th grade. and now im about to be a freshmen in college. im 8 weeks into it and im seeing very good results as of now. give it a chance

  • i have really mild acne, but a breakout every once in a while is expected and it really irritates me...do you recommend i take it? my mom is completely against it...so help me out

  • Omg your skin looks great! Jw do you have to be a certain age to go on accutane and how much is it?

  • my face is also red with mild scarring. been on it since feb 7, 2011. its june, i have no acne but still really red. anyone know how long a normal course is ? its been 4 total months, on the 5th

  • i've taken accutane for 6 weeks now.. my acne is decreasing but i still got lots of acne scars.. i wonder if it ever goes away :(

  • how long did it take for it to go away?

  • Dude youre hot xD

  • acutane caused a serious birth defect in my friend! prescriptions arent the answer...

  • @ItOffishul

    This is a very well known sideeffect from this drug, that's why you MUST be on TWO contraceptives if you take it as a girl - she should have been more careful :I

  • That about how my face was. Dose any one have a problem with having a red face??

  • @yourname06 I have been on accutane for over 3 months of my 6 month course. My face is tomato red. It sucks, but my acne is going away!!! :) Redness is supposed to go away within a month after ur off the drug.

  • thats not bad at all, try having your whole face swollen and pretty much not being able to walk from crippling back acne, those who are scared of depression and other side effects should not go anywhere near this drug or just toughen the fuck up because it does mess with you! but the end result is totally worth a couple of bad months which you would get anyway,,

  • I feel really bad, My acne 10x worst than that. :O And I don't know if I can buy accutane in france?

  • hi, thanks 4 replying I really appretiate it, can i stick along side you through my accutane journey 4 advice and info.

  • At least they were just chapped and you didn't have that blister on there anymore.

  • Wow your skin looks great and so much better.Your hair even looks nicer.

  • Hi there I'm new to YouTube and am gona start on accutane next month, I just wanted to that know is that is it safe to take accutane. I'm having sleepless nights thinking about this that what's gona happen when I take accutane , how is it going to react to me, I need someone like you to help me through this so please reply back, Thanxs

  • @s0nisam hey there, don't be scared, there's nothing to worry about! each of my siblings and i all went on accutane and it worked wonders!! as long as you take it correctly and get your blood test once a month, there is nothing to fear. and if you do get other side effects, you can talk to your doctor about a solution

  • I've just started Accutane and I'm not excited about the side effects (Not the depression and suicide things) but the dryness = (

  • OMG mine is way worse than that!!

  • Hahaha it's just the end of our 8th grade year and we are all having a big get together and going swimming at a camp, hiking, rock climbing and i wanted my skin to be clear by then but i doubt it will be! :/

  • @Punky8197 ohh! right... i wanted my skin to be clear by the time i started college! my face did clear before i started, but i was on 60mg a day? dont know if it's different in the United Kingdom, but i was listed as a minor case nd not serious, because mine was only on my face! :/ i'm not sure! tbh.

    nd hey 2 month is a good time, and i wouldn't be shocked if your face did clear before then, because mine only took about 2 month! sooo you never know?

  • nd or yeah! as for the 26th it's not really my position to say! i dont know how your skin is going to take to the tablets, sorry!

    it took my face a few month to heal... but i was on Antibiotics for a while first, but that didn't do anything for me! :/ but my face is totally clear now nd i hardly ever get them any more... thank god! dont be nervous about anything though.

    so what's coming up on the 26th of may? :)

  • i was on roaccutane and my acne cleared up! thank god... but when i was looking the drug up on the internet i though i was going to go bald and my face go red. but nothing like that happened! was the best decision of my life, i still find it hard to look people in the eyes sometimes even though my face is clear now! the worst thing that happened to me was my dry lips.

  • @xMrCustom24x good luck! :) 

  • I've been on Roaccutane (Which is the sames as Accutane) for 1 week and 1 day and my lips started getting dry like 4 days ago so it's going to work fast, my acne hasn't improved or gotten worse but i know it takes months to work. I'm on Roacctane as well has Cilex (an anti-biotic), is that normal?

  • You're kinda handsome y'know!

  • ur acne wasnt even that bad. i've seen much worse

  • @Zargogo he siad that was the begining of it

  • @Zargogo His acne was bad, any acne above mild is bad enough to considerably lower someone's self-esteem, but obviously there are people who have had/may still do have acne awfully, i mean i'm about to go on roaccutane on wednesday 26, and i saw some guys' so bad, it made me cringe and was too disgusting to look at! And that's saying something. I'm not heartless, but that was my honest reaction, I couldn't bear to look at it

  • JUST STARTED ACCUTANE TODAY! WOOT

  • Sounds like a hellfull thing to go though just to get rid of acne......I dont ever plan on going to Accutane even though I get a lot of acne every few months.

  • i'm on my 4th month right now. side effects aren't bad at all. my lips were VERY dry during the first 2 months but now i'm healing pretty good. my cheeks were the worst but that's healed up pretty nice so far and so has my neck

  • I start Accutane April 18th and im very nervous! Haha i want my acne to be better by summer and im hoping that it will be! How long did it take yours?

  • @Punky8197 wow i start it that day too! man i'm so damn nervouss.

  • @Punky8197 dont be nervous, i was so nervous starting the tablets and i worried myself all the time. i went on them and no seriouse side effects happened and my face slowly but surely started to clear! i've been off them for 2 year now and i do still get them, but my face is overall clear. :) if you have any questions just ask me!

  • @MrDiddy527 Thanks for the tips! I'm only thirteen and im nervous for the blood samples. LOL. Buuut how long did it take yours to heal and since I'm starting the 18th do you think it would be clear by about may 26th?

  • @Punky8197 i was nervous for the blood test, but by that point i would of done anything to get rid of them. i wanted to start college with a clear face. when i was on them i didn't have any side effects at all, apart from my lips being a bit dry. as my college start date was getting earlier, i started to up my tablets! (dont do that) then i did get nosebleeds but that's it. non of this 'suicidal thoughts' or hair loss! haha

  • @Punky8197 Right now, I am taking accutane and for 2 months, she kept me at 30mg a day. All I got was dry lips and face. But for most people, it takes ATLEAST 2 months for them to start seeing results since it works from the inside out meaning it pushes out the old acne beneath your skin so it may take a whie. Now almost done with my third month, I am now seeing results. Just waiting for the scars to go away but this is because she bumped me up to 2 pills a day which I recommend you try not to

  • @Punky8197 do because I now get nosebleeds, headaches, way more dry face and lips. My grad date is May 27 from highschool so I'm hoping to be totally clear! Hand in there, the time is worth the wait!

  • you guys have to think past the temporary facial acne because Accutane is a very risky drug. There are many health risks - and could be long term. THINK TWICE BEFORE TAKING THIS HIGH RISK DRUG.

  • que buenaindacontar tu historiaire a mi dermatologoa verquemedisepuesno tengo mucho acne ya pero si sudo demaciado ojala me sirba

  • That's AWESOME! =D Congrats man!

  • What did Accutane do for your pores? I've watched a ton of these videos, but I can't really see in the pictures if it really does make your skin as smooth as glass, as I have heard. Are your pores smaller? You look fantastic! Very cute, congrats!

  • Once your done taking it and all your acne is gone do you still need to take it after? Or will you be acne free for a while..

  • I was on Accutane from November 2008 to April 2009, and it worked. But after a a while, my acne came back, worse than ever. I did my second treatment from July 2010 to December 2010, and it worked again. It's now March 2011, and I'm still acne free...I'm doing more preventative care this time around. I think Accutane is definitely worth a shot to anyone wanting to get rid of severe acne!

  • I'm just using natural ingredients. Wash, tone, moisturize. Getting a little better with a detox tea and plenty of water.

  • I LOVE YOUR SHIRT!

  • HEY!!

    CHECK OUT MY ACCUTANE VLOG!

  • Thanks for sharing your advice and information on getting rid of acne and getting clear skin!

    If you have any questions about acne or breakouts let me know... I'm sure I can help!

    Thanks!

  • hey u guyz, im almost at 1 month, i get 2 pills at morning and 1 at night, anyways im almost on full first month and there are more spots , they started appearing on forehead especially, is this is the progress ? is it bad that there are mre than before or is it good ?

  • @ArthodeN u know those pills are very dangerous of accutance

  • @ToribioKid i dunno, almost 2 month drinking , no side effect

  • did u ever smoked weed while u were on accutane?

  • Nothing will cure your acne. Accutane is a treatment that will significally reduce your acne for a period of time but there's no cure whatsoever. It's genetically impossible.

  • @mrstrawman100 do research buddy, its permanent

  • @920wes

    that's a myth again people just think that but this guy broke again a few times later

  • To see that you skin cleared up that well, gives me hope ;)

  • thats the bad thing with this scociety we take drugs to satify ourselfs to please scociety. and just to let you know i knew someone his senior year his acne was so bad he didnt want to take his senoir portrate but he did and didnt use drugs and it went away eventually he had bad acne for 6 years. all i have to say is dont take any new drugs anymore people are tring to make money and dont care about the symptoms

  • @fatqwert200 if you don't have bad acne, then let me inform you. you're lucky. if you can touch your face without being in pain, then you're just very lucky. i'm 23 and have had acne since i'm 9. It doesn't look like it's getting better any time soon. i'm getting on this so i can look myself in the mirror and like what i see and touch my face without it hurting.

  • Ur such a sweetheart for sharing

  • dont u have geting the nose bleeds i have been off it of a year ans i still get them

  • Personally I took Accutane 20 yrs ago for moderate acne when dr's just gave it out. I got like every symptom warned, but NOT depression like people say they get nowadays. I got dry skin and HORRIBLE lip cracking, that was the worst and why I went off of it after 4 months. My son went on Accutane 2 yrs ago and it improved his skin a lot. Dr. Dan's Cortibalm with cortisone $5ea helps a LOT! I bought my son tons of it, put it on in your sleep LOL! You MUST take accutane EXACTLY as prescribed!

  • Hey man, I know we connected a while back... I don't know if you know that my brother was born with an birth defect because of accutane but I would look into doing some type of Liver detoxification to get rid of any stagnant accutane particles that can be in your liver... Just a health suggestion! Let me know how I can help!

    David

  • Does anybody had problems of loosing hair???? I'im about to start an accutane treatement and I dont care a lot about the side effects exept the posibility to loose hair!!! I'made some research on the internet but I only found a statistic that sugest 13% of people who use accutane had lost hair and that in rare cases it persist even after stoping the treatement. I need help pleaseeeeeeeee

  • @jedioutcast100 Hey. Yes, I did use accutane for 5 months and my skin is clear now. My hair was pretty dry and brittle while on accutane and it wasn't as full as it use to be. But now that I'm off accutane it is growing back thicker again. Just keep in mind your skin and hair will be very, VERY dry so you have to constantly keep drinking water, eating well to keep your hair healthy. I can't promise you the same results or experience, but I would ask a dermatologist first.

  • @jedioutcast100 just take smaller doses, for some people 1 pill each second is enough

  • @jedioutcast100 just take smaller doses, for some people 1 pill each second day is enough

  • @Akram78618 hi, wht did you find about hair loss???? did you have any problems with your hair???

  • I was on accutane about 4 years ago with about the same level of acne as you and now my face is flaring up approaching the same level as before >.< I hope they let me take it again I miss my smooth skin so fucking bad lol.

  • your skin wasnt far from perfect even in first months of accutane.

    i got acne conglobatis and it sucks a lot but i am looking forward to see the results of accutane treatment

  • I can definitely relate! I now on my last month of Amneestem (the generic of Accutane). I used to have moderate to severe acne since I was 12, have been on all the anitbiotics, birth control pills, creams, washes, you name it. Accutane was the only thing that worked. And it's truly amazing -- I haven't had a single pimple in several months. My skin is just flawless from day to day. I had a few side effects, but it was still worth it. Don't bother wasting your time with anything else, people!

  • what a lil honey you are. Thank you "evil pharma. companies" You brought out a sweetie pie.

  • It took me 2 courses but I'm so glad I did it!

  • I was gonna take it but I hear and saw some videos on side effects and it's even worst then acne which was what I thought was the worst thing.

  • you can get worse than yours.

  • congrats bro (Y) i hope i end up like u by the end of my cycle, your skin looks flawless man (Y)

    no homo :P

  • the treatment I received from theaiam.com was a miracle for me! you have to follow a protocol but NO SIDE EFFECTS. Now, I want to share it with others to help them have great skin without the pain of other products I have tried

  • can you say intense lettuce flow!

  • i'm supposed to be going on accutane next week, the only thing is i'm not a 100% sure if i'm going to go on it, i do boxing and i don't want it to dramatically effect my performance which is why i might wait until next summer when i don't have many fights, the side effects i'm looking at are muscle aches and joint pain. my dermatologist says it shouldn't be a problem. do u think this is something that could effect me?

  • @3472af

    I am 17, and have been taking it for 2 weeks now, If you have severe acne i think you get worst side effects, whereas my acne was horrid to me, because i am critical of the way i look. I would call my self a body builder, and it has not hindered any part of that whatsoever, however, i am not allowed to take anything with VITAMIN A in, including protein shakes or other supplements. I do have chapped lips slightly and my face is progressively getting redder week by week. Its worth it

  • @QwertyNiji

    i decided to go on accutane, i've been on it for 2 weeks now, the only side effects i've had is a little bit of dry skin and the first few days i was really tired but that stopped. i've not felt it's affected my performance at the moment i feel normal, just a bit of dry skin and my acne seems to have improved already but it's still early. i've been having protein shakes and feel fine, my dermatologist told me to not take any vitamin A supplements,

  • @3472af the side effects for every1 is very different, for example some people dont break out for the first two months like they're supposed to and get spared that pain. then theres people like me that break out like theres no tommorow. (i should know). also some people dont have joint pain at all and some people do. so it just depends on you

  • i have a really horrible acne right now but i`m taking a "hormonal stuff" that is actually working pretty well so if it does not work i`ll take this accutane who cares about the secundary effects it is chest and back acne like a hundred times worse the one you have

  • k, i have bad scarring, but not really any acne at all anymore, does the scarring go away?

  • @packysmatt21 over time it will

  • @packysmatt21 my dr. said there's no real treatment for scarring (those gels don't work) you just gotta wait till they fade out (which they will).

  • @Rosstacular

    Chemical Peel works wonders.

  • @packysmatt21

    Not without laser treatment/chemical peals or variations of these.

  • @packysmatt21 yes it goes away

  • did u ever feel like, you were the most horrifying creature, and that nothing could of cured your illness?

    cuz that kinda how i feel

  • @qwerty1994ish I did. I got an accutane 2years ago. It was the best decision I have ever made. I was so happy when people were that I was clearing up. Everyone was surprised and my confidence hit the roof. Before that I felt like a monster and thought it would never be cured. Now I sit here after 2 years with clear skin and if I get a pimple it just goes away in 2days no mark no nothing. Treat it right now so you won't get anymore and you avoid scarring. Good Luck.

  • @Smileyyy21

    I m so scared to take it cuz of the sideeffects! Please help me. Would I eliminate those sideeffects with a lower dosage ? I don't want to lose my hair or suffer from erctile disfunction which then leads to losing my girlfriend whom I really love. I'm 19 now and I don't know what to do.

    thx

  • @liammunky hey i'm thinking about taking it too but idk what pill should i take, the 10mg 20mg or maybe more i just don't know

  • @Smileyyy21 how many miligrams?? please tell me :p

  • @qwerty1994ish I feel that now. im on roacutan now..

  • I'm finally on it, day 11, nothing major but my lips are already pretty dry and flaking. Yesterday as I was eating my lips began splitting, skin pulling apart. Area around my lips is flaking a lot. Now put Vaseline on my lips at night and through out the day and the area around my lips. My eyes are feeling dry. I noticed a lot more blackheads on my nose, like a lot of small black heads densely packed together. Either way, its going to get much worse than it is now. Prepare myself for the battle!

  • I HATED ACCUNTANE ! Had to take birthcontrol pills out the yang and blood test every month,. it was an amazing product that cleared everything for a year and i was on it for 3 months. I had random outburts and my eyesight was fucked up! So i got off of it! But a year later it was back, but not as bad!

  • when the derma told me she recommended putting me on accutane and i had to go and read this 20-30 page booklet on all the things that COULD happen, it seriously scared me shitless. i had to pledge to be put on 2 birth controls and i had to take counseling the whole time i was on it because i had a history of physiological illnesses + blood tests but it did work, and my skin is great now like yours.

  • physiological? i meant psychological.

  • aww. cutie. you look really good now!

  • I just got put on Accutane today! I'm scared for the "gets worse before it gets better" part, but I'm sure I'll be happy in the end.

  • @jenniferleanne01 im almost done with me treatment and i can say accutane is AMAZING!! The dry skin for 6 months is definitely worth it!!

  • @jenniferleanne01 were the newbies, :) if you don't mind tell me how it goes. I'd like to compare my side effects to yours

  • @xxxglamourbabexx yeah for sure. i've been on it for almost a week now, and already my skin is very dry as well as my lips. good thing my pharmacist told me to buy chapstick and a face moisturizer day of! my dosage is only 40MG

  • @jenniferleanne01 Mine's 20mg but I'll be bumped up to 40mg next month yay! Try Vaseline so much better than Chapstick lasts way longer. Yeah I ex foliate everyday but that doesn't seem to work too much. Day 12 tomorrow, I'm like a kid before Christmas counting like everyday :D

  • @jenniferleanne01 dont worry it doesnt really affect you that much, ive been on it for over a month and all it really does is dry your lips out alot! so buy chapstick. ull need it.

    you wont regret it, ive only been on it a month but ive already lost all my pimples im just waiting for my acne to go

  • @jenniferleanne01 haven't heard many of those stories, lemme know if you have any questions, almost done with my treatment

  • next stop braces

  • i'm taking this now, i'm really excited to see the results

  • now u got no pimples but now u have liver failure

  • @XxDrD34THxX :D my dad said the exact same thing! He was so against the drug, he lectured me for hours telling me how pretty my skin will look but how much my insides will suffer.

  • i'm starting on accutane in a week, and i just have one question..

    is it worth it?

    cuz i am really scared :(

  • @TheMissalyster aquaphor for lips and to prevent any nose bleeds, aveeno for dry skin, genteal for dry eyes. you will be fine. good luck.

  • does anyone know of any side affects about this drug? iv heard it can be quite bad.. im considering asking my docter for accutene because i have severe acne on my back. ,can someone who has taken the drug recommend it ?

  • @pjm012345 lol accutane can have a ton of sideeffects... mostly dry skin, thoughts of suicide, and i even read tht accutane can make it harder for u to keep an erection ( a boner lol).. but the results are it cures acne as u can seeits really good, also expensive ..

  • @HeyYouPMme its not expensive hear in the uk because i can get it on prescription for free from my doctor..with any drug you take (even simple painkillers) there are side affects. there are side affects to all drugs. it doesnt mean that you will experience them though. . one person is different to the next. the only reason i have been told to not take this drug is if your prone to depression or are taking anti depressents.

  • haha well my acnes horrible and my derm signed me up for accuatne straight away as a first result Im getting on it in a week tho

  • Week 3 for me and the blackheads on my nose have completely gone.

    My skin colouring is improving day by day, I'm really happy with the results is few weeks!

    I really can't wait to see the end result!

    I still have moderate acne but it's a lot more manegable, less break outs and pimples they do come dry up pretty quick.

    Only side effect I've noticed is chapped lips.

  • well FUCK mine is worse. i didnt think yours was that bad.

    however.. you really need to cut your hair...

  • did you ever take Doxycycline before accutane? im so happy for you man!!! your skin looks awesome! im hoping to take accutane. my dad even took it. how long did you take it until you noticed your first results? was it over night? thanks for the vid!!!

  • Yeah you shouldn't take this....there is a law suit against it because it causes diseases...

  • @schniteldelieveryboy yeah but not the deep ones like the ones that have been there for like 6 months, but you could just apply creams n shit to make your skin color match the scars and stuff and fade out the colors so they'll be invisible but it works unless you're a fag metrosexual that worries too much about his skin just dont worry about the scars they aren't even noticeable unless you pay too much attention to it but yeah they should go away.

  • becerful this medicents will make appear another disease more fking bad then acne its hyperhidrosis (sweat no stop) so becerful !

  • isnt therr like a law suit ferr accutane

  • have fun removing your colon in your future years

  • It gets worse before better? For how long?

  • did u drink accutane with milk or water. ive been taking it with milk, but i dont know if i should, the medicine suggests it though.

  • omg your so hot lol, anyways, your skin looks amazing!

  • were you on a 20mg or 40?

    and when do you see results? because i am on my about my 5th month now and i've only seen slight improvements

  • Adult onset acne..I tried everything including accutane..the only thing that worked was colonics, probiotics, and oil of oregano..do those three things and I guarantee you will see results!

  • Thinking of trying Accutane? Do yourself a big favor first....do your research.

    Accutane has been linked to serious side effects such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, dry skin, severe depression, liver damage, and suicidal thoughts, which can occur months or even years after treatment has been stopped.

  • I tried everything as well. And finally I am on accutane. I do not really have bad acne, or systic acne. But my family has a history of bad acne, so I got an accutane referal. Thank god. I feel very, very lucky, that I never got to that stage. But these videos really do motavate me.

  • My dermatologist recommended a product called Herbal Acne Doctor, and it cleared up my acne fast! Was available through his office, but found it for less on Ebay, keywords search "herbal acne doctor." Try it. It works!

  • believe it or not but my acne was slightly worse than yours. i have undergone blood tests to determine wheather accutane is suitable for me, in the past i have tried so many creams which have been useless. The best results came from ethromycine and doxycycline, which didnt stop acne completly, but did control it. at the moment my body acne is the problem. how efffective is it for past scars on both the face and body? 

  • @RawalpindiBrittania surprisingly many scars on your face and back are actually temporary scars (depending on how bad your acne is). Accutane dries up your skin and obviously stops the acne but it also thins your skin a bit. AKA easier to get small scraps and cuts now. Now this might sound A LOT more graphics / terrible then it actually is. But basically the top layer of your skin (a very tiny amount) peels off and it's because of this that scars fade faster than usual. Accutane is gooood.!

  • I'm 17 and my skin is OILY like bad...it shines wherever I'm at. my acne is moderate I would say...my parents have acne so I don't think it's going away anytime soon...should I take it? please help

  • @bsiffy I was on it I do not recomend it. At least do some research, it's not good stuff.

    At the very least you should try altering your diet for 3 weeks. no chocolate, no coke or any dark cola. its syrup. sugar and oil liquid. its the worst . give it 3 weeks. you'll see a difference
