I took Accutane 10 years ago and it changed my life. I had suffered with severe cystic acne for nearly 10 years and nothing else helped at all. Unfortunately, I am one of the unlucky few who will have to take it again. My acne has come back, albeit not as bad as 10 years ago. But, having to suffering the extreme dryness for another 5 months is well worth it. I highly recommend this product to anyone who has unsuccessfully tried the other prescription and nonprescriptions treatments available.
