it will work wonders for you, I use to get acne VERY bad, it was awful, just make sure you stick with it, the sides can be pretty bad, you will get very dry lips so chapstick will be a must, your acne will "appear" to get worst, you may get a little bit of a rash due to dry skin, all these will go away, what accutane does is it stops the oil production in your body. I went on 40mgs ED, up to 40mgs one day and 80 mgs every other day if it was VERY bad. For the first week I would hit the sauna ED to clear out all clogged pores, but no more sauna after that, drink LOTS of water as its hard on your liver, try to stay out of the sun as you will burn fast due to sensitive skin, stay on this dose for at least a month, when your skin clears up drop the dose to 40mgs every 3rd or 4th day just to maintain it in your body while your on your cycle, keep your skin clean as you normally would and use some moisturizer, the problem is not skin being dirty or having clogged pores its your hormones goin out of wack. when I run accutane I dont get a single zit, NOT ONE, I could smear butter on my face and not get a zit lol, accutane is a miracle drug weather your using it for a cycle or just need it cause of acne problems, feel free to ask me any question, Ive been using accutane for over 20 years so Im confident that I can help you with any questions you have
