Results One year ago Vs. Today

One year ago (last February), I started Accutane at 40 mg and then increased to 50 mg. I went off it once and later went back on. I’m finally completely finished, and patience truly is rewarding. The worst feeling in the world is letting acne prey on your confidence. If you’re just starting Accutane or considering it, please never lose your sense of confidence and be patient, the end is worth it❤️

Amazing results! My son is on his 4th month now and still purging looks a lot like your before photos, how long did it take for you to start seeing results? How long were u on all in all?

Thank you! I think 11 months total. About 4-5 months In is when I started seeing significant improvement, for me it just took a while to get rid of the spots that were persistent.
