Skin Care Review: Roaccutane

by Louise-Grace, Dublin Ireland

Rating
Excellent

Benefits
No more acne

Drawbacks
dry, flaking skin, dry yes, nose bleeds

Details
I had very bad acne from the 12 to 19 years old and had been given many different topical treatments from my doctor and a recommendation that I would grow out of it. None of these treatments worked and at 19 I finally got an appointment with a dermatologist who gave me roaccutane. I was on roaccutane for 6month and experienced dry flaking skin, dry eyes and nosebleeds but my skin completely cleared up.I was told that I may have to have another course but 5 years later my acne has still not come back. Don't get me wrong, I do not have perfect skin and am still prone to occasional breakouts but these are mild compared to the state my face used to be in. In my case, the side effects were minor and well worth putting up with for the final result. It is doubtful if you will be as happy if you suffer from occasional breakouts/spots rather than acne.

Conclusions
If you suffer from bad acne, this treatment is excellent.
