Accutane Reviews
Working / Worked
had dry lips but it worked great
Working / Worked
Worked but I had a mental break down due to the medicine and had to be taken off early so my acne came back
Working / Worked
Took the drug for 6 months all together. Started to see a difference in the first month, major difference within three months and completely GONE within 6 months.
Did experience side effects such as extreme muscle cramping especially in my legs. Sensitivity to sun and wind. Minor hair loss, fatigue.
This cleared up my acne for good and now no longer use acne meds only on occasion for small breakouts.

Too many side affects: Dry mouth, lips, an d nose. Contracts against getting pregnant, since it is a high dosage of vitamin A.
