Thought I would come back to let everyone know how things are going this far after treatment.
I had bad acne on my face, chest and back. It was bad :/
Skin is looking great still – NO SPOTS :D
I have scars on my back (some bad) although I think they are a million times better and certainly [...]
Hi guys, looking for a bit of advice. I took a course of roaccutane from Sep o9 to Jan 10 and it worked an absolute treat. My acne wasn’t severe but my GP referred me because nothing else helped on a long term basis and i was 24 at the time so i felt it [...]

Hi everyone!
I have just been prescribed roaccutane for the second time and have a few questions.
The first time I took it, I took it alongside Yasmin, and the treatment lasted for 4 months (October 2008 – Feb 2009). My skin was amazing until about May 2009, when it slowly started to get worse. This was [...]
