    So first of all, let me say that accutane has been the only thing that's ever worked 100% for my skin. I have literally tried everything possible, from prescription topicals to antibiotics to...

    I have had acne since I was in the 6th grade. It was never horribly severe, but it was fairly persistent and affected my self-esteem. I did have occasional cystic acne as well. I tried almost every...

    Accutane was a last resort for me when everything else failed. My first time at the dermatologist I was prescribed Minocine along with Differin Gel; this did nothing for me. However, I gave it a...

    I think this stuff changed my life. My face exploded with hormonal and stress acne when I was in the 6th grade. I didn't have one pore without a pimple, and most were huge inflamed cystic types. I...
