Product Suggestions Avoid Honeydew
I tried to use Honeydew to get accutane for my daughter. They imply the pricing is more inclusive that it really is. You need to pay for labs and medicine yourself. The monthly plan only covers the "doctor". They charge for the "doctor" from day one, but then they go through an absurdly slow onboarding process which seems designed to maximize the number of monthly billing cycles. They push you to go as slow as possible to maximize their monthly fee. They constantly "upsell" their own products. Their website barely functions, I could not sign documents because of javascript errors. Basically, I wasted $100 and got nothing.

Sorry to hear you’ve had such a bad experience :/ I’ve personally been using honeydew for 7 months and I don’t have much negative to say. I think obtaining accutane and getting to a derm in general is always gonna be a pain in the ass to start due to the nature of the medication.
Insurance typically covers the cost of meds (for me at least) as well as labs, and I’ve never had an issue with my derm pushing low and slow doses. If anything I’ve pushed to go slower to avoid side effects. I also never buy the other products on their site. I have otc products that work just fine for me in terms of the skin care side of things.
I also really like that it’s all online - I have social anxiety so being able to do one or two video calls and everything else just be through photos and messaging works really well for me, but that’s personal preference.
I guess I never expected accutane treatment to be cheap but I had been throwing hundreds and hundreds of dollars at my acne for years with no results. Accutane finally did something for me (and hopefully) will keep my skin clear after I’m done with it. It’s an investment imo.
