I was on Accutane for a year when I was 16 years old (I'm now 21).
I still get acne but not NEARLY as bad as I did when I was 16. I get about 1 or 2 pimples a month (usually right before my period) and that's it!
Accutane is a great drug for acne - you just have to watch out for the side effects; they are horrible!

It varies from individual to individual. About one million/two of the persons keep transparent or really so. The different part begin to get zits once more, anyplace from six to 12 months once they entire a direction of accutane. And many of those can also be managed with treatment instead of accutane. So, just a small percent require one more circular of accutane. Good success together with your healing.

NATURAL ACNE PROTOCOL
1/ Never, ever touch your face.
2/ Use 3 facecloths to wash your face, one to soap on, one to soap off with very hot water, one to rinse off with ice cold water, in that order, once a day.
3/ If you are under 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A once a day with a full meal
4/ If you are over 18 take 5,000 IU of vitamin A twice a day with a full meal.
Do not get pregnant while taking vitamin A. Do not take any more, like Accutane, it will stop you growing.
5/ Never, ever. pick, squeeze or pop your spot. Read number 1 again.
6/ Do this for 90 days.
7/ Invest in a brand new pillow and 2 new or more pillow cases to �double bag' your pillow. HOT wash every couple of days.

A bit of advice given to me as a teenager, a bit of science as I am studying allergic reactions and vitamin A is a part of that. A bit of research: I sat in a lecture at the back and watched the acne prone pick at their faces, those with the worse acne touched their faces 32 times in an hour, the clearest complexions didn't touch their faces even once. I have circumstantial evidence that acne is the result of dermatophyte transfer from hands to face...where it does not get washed off and is well fed by hormones, sweat a
nd oil...just a hypothesis... But it would explain why vitamin A is so effective as vitamin causes skin to remove dermatophytes.
The secret is never to touch the spots

I work for a dermatologist and there are patients who are on their second rounds of Accutane, so yes it is possible.
