Considering Accutane?
- What were your experiences with its side effects and did you achieve the results you were hoping for?
- What are your experiences with alternative solutions in the quest for clear skin that actually works?
- What's your experience with the combined use of Accutane and testosterone, and have you encountered any notable effects?

Only experienced dry lips and it works 100 percent
Might take 2 rounds or so but for me only 1
Might stunt growth tho so idk

Cleared acne and some scarring well but side effects are brutal
-dry cracked lips
-sunburn easy
-itchy/flakey skin (initially)
-red/puffy/burning/photosensitive eyes (eyelids still inflamed 1 year post treatment)
-water retention in face

iirc was on 20mg or 40mg for 6 months.

They say it might cause depression and mood swings as well

I guess but having severe acne is more depressing

i was on accutane for like 8-10 months. it definitely cleared the hell out of my skin, but i had super chapped lips & skin, as well as some joint pain and lack of appetite.

it’s definitely the nuclear option of getting clear skin and i don’t regret it at all… it literally saved me and i had a bunch of people telling me i “glew up” LMFAO… i’m not sure if anything compares. highest prescription tret can’t come close but out of everything it’s like the “best” alternative solution

How to mitigate the water retention?
