I’m trying to decide if it’s worth it for me, and on all the previous posts I’ve found asking “is it worth it” the comments are full of people who’ve done Accutane and say it’s worth it, and people who haven’t done Accutane that say it wasn’t worth it for them. So no negative input from anyone who’s actually gone through with Accutane. I’m wondering, for those who HAVE done Accutane - was it worth it? Are there any regrets?
I have mild - moderate but persistent acne, and am F30. I’ve had acne for over 15 years with no changes through puberty, to adulthood, different birth controls and no birth control, different diets, etc. I’ve tried so many different derm medications and topical regimens with my derm and am now on the last thing she can think of, which I’m honestly not too hopeful about. I’m on the highest dose of tret I can get (0.1%), and sulfacetamide topical lotion, 6 weeks in. She kind of scared me a little with her description of the side effects of Accutane, but I’m at my wits end just don’t want acne anymore. I’m 30 and I’m over it!
