Re: Please ANYONE!!!

I don't know what these products are, but topical treatments never help much with severe acne.

Side effects of Accutane aren't _that_ bad. I mean, I felt great when taking it, seeing all the acne disappear!

On the other hand, with what I know now, I wouldn't take it again. Not because it's so harsh, but because I've found alternative methods that even work better (at least for me).

Re: Please ANYONE!!!

I have done 2 courses of accutane and it completely cleared me up, but the acne always came back. The side effects were minimal- my skin was very dry, but i could handle it. In between the accutane courses and now I am using benzaclin and it doesn't seem very strong to me. I actually can't tell if it does anything at all.. I have found that tazorac gel is more effective. hope that helps!

What side effects...? Most seem to be urban legend. Maybe if you disclosed the side effects you are worried about, others can share with you what they have found to be true and false.

Best of luck.
