Working / Worked
it worked but i might have to go bac on it in a year. i advise if u do go on it watch the side-effects they can be seriouse.
Working / Worked
a few courses since 1995. results lasted between 1 & 2 years each.
Working / Worked
2 treatments a few years apart. Both successful. Main side effects for me were the dry skin and lips.

extemely dry saw a derm, for about six months. you better really good health insurance. It worked really good you are tested once a month and have to be on a birth control (women) becuase it will cause serious sideeffects such as deformity.

for a while
Working / Worked
It was great..while the treatment lasted. Once I stopped taking the pills, the zits returned, though. Side effects from Accutane were very dry lips. I used Chapstick constantly and it didn't do much to help but not having acne for awhile was worth it.
Working / Worked
worked well cleared up very fast after the 3rd week , but very very dry periods when I had to work in public it was embarrassing all the peeling but i got lazy.
