My Experience of Acne

For what my face had been like in the years and months up using roaccutane I honestly thought there would no 'quick fix'. Whilst roaccutane is not neccesarily a quick fix it is the nearest thing to it. I began the course in May 2005 and by the September I was 100% clear of any lingering spots and I have not had a break out since. Of course, there were some side effects but no where near as bad as the scary ones I read about. I had some dry skin - especially dry lips - and I have to admit during the course my hair did go slightly thinner, however, it certainly wasnt noticeable. If anyone was to ask me if they should go on roaccutane I couldn't ...  Read the complete review

i just have a few things to say if you suffer from acne go on this medication! Taking roaccutane was the best thing i done, i suffered no side affects apart from having a bit of dryness on my lips and hands but nothing severe and that cant be helped with cream,i choose not to listen to these horror stories, i was still able to do everything go out, go to the gym, have a life and within 16 weeks my acne was gone and the results are fantastic, i put up with having acne for so long and id had enough, this has changed my life completely and i am so happy with my skin now, so.....go for it!

Hi, Well this is now going into my third week of Roaccutane 20mg, and if i am to be really honest, I spent about a month and a half, just researching this product and reading the various reviews and looking at the various videos of how this product helped or didn't help individuals. I spoke with my dermatologist who was ever so patient and understanding. The first day I took the roaccutane, it was like I was waiting for a time bomb to explode. Nervous, would be an understatement. I was truly intimidated by the side effects that could occur and questioned whether "vanity" was worth what it..... I used the word vanity to myself as at the end of ...  Read the complete review

To Use Roaccautane or not? I've just started my first day on roaccutane. Wahey!! I took this drug 7 years ago for adult acne, and for some reason my skin has flared up again and have tried the norm- antibiotics / creams/gels to no avail :-( At the end of my 16 week treatment it made my skin looked fantastic! Looked all new and fresh looking! I would definately recommend this drug to anyone else to who has suffered the very annoying condition of acne. Until you suffer with it no one will know how it can effect us. The drug got bad press about suicide, but in reality, who among us has not felt like banging our heads ...  Read the complete review

Right, i'm about 3/4 weeks from finishing my treatment...and have had relatively mild side effects. The dry lips are annoying and mosturing gets annoying. But very recently [like today] i've had a bad day after having an small argument with a friend, and i feel really depressed and emotional...i've not cried or anything but i just feel really down! and it's sooo not like me! Im not suicidal or anything, it's just i've never really felt to down in years. OMG i can't wait to finish this and have great skin.

On the bright side i do think they've done the world of good.

No pain no gain i guess...
