I used Accutane for a few months a while back. I don't really remember having any side effects [maybe a mood swing here and there], but then again, it was a few years ago. The results however, were great. I used to have really splotchy skin on my face... And now, well. It's not. I wish I could show some before/after photos or something, but I don't think I have any lying around from before I started using it.
The thing about Accutane is that it has a lot of vitamin A, which can be hazardous if you have too much. Accutane just tends to dry you out... Not so much in the sense that you're dehydrated, but your skin will get dry. My doctor gave me a moisturizing sort of nose spray to help in case I got nosebleeds, but it never got that bad. I guess that's how it kills all the acne and such. Also, as with most any treatment... It'll get worse before it gets better. And that stood true with this.
After I stopped taking it though, it came back just a bit. I ended up using a prescribed cream for a couple weeks, and it was gone.
