I’m on my final month of accutane and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. My very severe acne has completely cleared and my dermatologist says it shouldn’t come back.

I have a skin disorder call Ichthyosis where I have extremely dry skin, so going on accutane was really scary for me as my skin would further dry out.

My dry skin has gotten worse, but I’m as happy as can be, because the acne is gone. The dry skin will improve once I’m off the accutane and can be treated with moisturiser containing ureum.

As for weight gain - I’ve actually lost about 26 lbs (12kg). I don’t think it has anything to do with the drug, but because I started feeling better about my face, I began taking better care of my body.

Hope you guys have the same good experience that I had.
