It's my third week since I have used sotret to treat my acne and I would like to talk about my skin problems. My acne started about when I was 12 years old and nothing worked.

This medicine has done wonders for my skin. I used to live by the clean and clear oil pads because my skin was so oily. I have not had to use any of them since completing this medication. I do not have any more sudden, hard to treat breakouts. If i get anything, it's a barely visible bump that goes away the very next day. I have also noticed that my hair does not get oily anymore.
