On it for 12 months very effective. Side effects were hard to deal with. The first two months were the hardest.

Took as a Teen, worked well for awhile, had 2 or 3 runs with it. Makes skin and lips really dry, but then clears it up beautifully. But, the results don't last..Acne Came back.

Side effects were horrible... dry skin depressed bleeding nose. Not the best experience but it did help.

Years ago I used this and it was VERY effective, but should be used as a last resort, because it totally dries out your skin and hair and can cause other problems.

Finally cleared me up....after 2 years being off of it the pimples came back. Not as bad but i need to go back on.

I was on Accutane several years ago and it worked for a few years but then it started to come back.

Amazing. Miracle! But unfortunately now monitered and requires a whole system to guarantee no deformed babies are created. All it did was dry my lips a lot, but that was so worth the gorgeous skin I had for 6 months. My skin is broken out again, but not as bad as it used to get. I want to go for a 3rd round once I'm out of school and can go monthly to the dermatologist.

Worked perfectly but irritated and dried the skin.
