I''ve been on Accutane for 3 months now and I''m STILL breaking out! Has anyone here been on Accutane and seen results but did not see them at the 3-month mark?
Hi. I had really bad acne in the beginning of my 20's. I went on accutane and it took a good 5-6 months before I was clear, but when I was clear, I stayed clear. I'm 36 now and I haven't had a breakout since. So, yes, it works..give it time.

I used accutane after my dermatologist tried everything else. I was on it at 17 and I had huge red pimples not all over, but it really effected my self esteem. Mine got worse before it got better, but after I stopped treatment I had the first clear skin since I was 11. It was worth every penny we couldn't afford. By the next few months after I stopped use I had perfect skin that people commented on until I was about 23, when my dr put me on a second round, and that time it cleared up immediatly. I was using prescription products starting at 12 for small whiteheads, that grew to pimples until I was 17. After accutane I had years where I used drugstore products (I was able to again after my second time) and had the most amayzing skin. I am now 27 and have clear perfect skin without a single blackhead, and I only get tiny normal breakouts occasional with my monthly cycle. I think if you can afford it and are willing to make the sexual sacrifices (you absolutly cannot get pregnant while on it or your baby will be severely deformed, so you must use multiple methods of birthcontrol while on it) this is the best product on the market hands down, and my dermatologist tried them all on me.
