... accutane? I was on it twice and I believe the first time I started was when I was 19. Thanks!
I am curious... does anyone know if there is a certain age you have to be before you can start?

I think for acne you can take isotretinoin from 12 years onwards.
https://www.drugs.com/dosage/isotretinoin.html#Usual_Adult_Dose_for_Acne
Isotretinoin is a form of vitamin A. It reduces the amount of oil released by oil glands in your skin, and helps your skin renew itself more quickly.
Isotretinoin is used to treat severe nodular acne that has not responded to other treatments, including antibiotics.
