Isotretinoin / Claravis / Accutane For Acne at 32 Years Old - Side Effects + Before and After: My Review

Blog post: http://www.redomestication.com/accuta...

I finally gave Isotretinoin / Accutane a try at 32 years old, after a lifetime of moderate but incredibly persistent acne. See below for the laundry list of things I tried before being prescribed Isotretinoin / Accutane. I took 80mg once per day for 5 months.

    I have gotten so frustrated with dermatologists. They just want to give me Aczone and blah blah blah.. I have some cystic acne. So expensive and frustrating! I am debating on asking for Accutane. Because it just won't go away. Thanks for the video :)

    It took over a year before my derm decided to go with Accutane. This was after about 10 years of going to random derms on and off.

    You don't get zits anymore even though your skin is still oily because isotretinoin (accutane) makes the oil leave your pores right away as soon as it's produced so it doesn't get stuck inside pores and cause zits.

    You will not become infertile from this. You just CANNOT get pregnant while ON it or a month after you get off of it due to high risk of birth defects. After treatment (once drug is out of system) you will be fine. Treatment is usually 5-6 months. Some people with severe cases need to go on it a second time.
