For Acne: I took isotretinoin for 7 months and it completely changed my acne and life! I had acne that appeared after summer and every day was worse and worse. Now I am 3 months after finishing the isotretinoin and I am saying that the results are amazing. I haven’t got a single pimple on my face and body since I stopped it and I am so thankful for it. My skin is smoother every day. I had a lot of problems with my confidence and isotreninoin solved them like magic. I strongly recommend these pills to everyone struggling with acne because side effects like headaches and dry skin are nothing in front of the results. |

For Acne: I've had severe acne for 8 years and have tried lots of doctoring. Been on prescribed pills that help only while I take them. I'm on my forth month of Accutane and I have almost NO cysts forming.. only scars healing! Definitely worth the extreme dry side effects I've been having.
