I am a 40 years old man, suffering full of
sebum on my whole head (face and hair). As
you can image, I was troubled during tens
of years with a problem which usually is
only of teenagers. During all my life I
proved all kind of treatmens: hundreds of
creams, aloe vera, benzoyl peroxid,
antibiotics (Minocycline - Minomycin),
even honey on my face and other natural
treatments.
And, I can only ensure you one thing: DONT
LOSE YOUR TIME, ONLY ACCUTANE IS
EFFECTIVE.
Finally, I decided to go to the doctor and
I asked him for accutane. First of all,
before begining with the treatment, he
demanded me to make blood analysis. I am a
healthy man, so this analysis specially
was to verify my levels of cholesterol in
blood, but also to verify that my liver
does not have any problem.
Then, as my levels were normal, and I did
not suffer ugly pimples (only terrible
grease and some inflammations), he ordered
me to begin with a very soft dose of
isotretinoin: 10 mg. before breakfast and
10 mg. before lunch; and blood anylisis
every month till the end of the treatment
(5 months).
About accutane, or roacutane, as named in
Europe, where I live, I was searching for
good prices of the medicament, and in view
of the enormous price of the brand name, I
decided to buy the generic version, which
has exactly the same ingredient
(isotretinoin), I found an online
international pharmacy, which worked very
fine for me, reasonable prices and quickly
shipping (less than 2 weeks). By the way,
they do not ask the prescription. You can

I began to see wonderful effects after one
or two weeks of treatment, my sebum almost
stopped suddenly, and very few side
effects: dry skin, specially in lips and
inside the nose, which I solved with lip
stick and aloe vera gel (inside the nose
too). The best results were after 3
months, with the skin completely cleaned,
and only one or two very small pimples
every 2 or 3 days. Then I myself decided
to increase the dose of isotretinoin to 30
mg per day, because I wanted to ensure the
complet cure.
Truly, after the 3 first months I did not
notice any improvement. Then I stopped the
treatment after 4 months and half, more or
less.
About the analysis and consultations with
the doctor. I only had one consultation at
the begining. My first analysis showed
normal levels, and I rectified a little my
diet during all the treatment. I only took
half a cup of wine during lunch and
dinner, and no cups of alcohol during
week-ends. Also, I reduced the eating of
eggs, cakes and cured cheese. Curiously,
in my second blood analysis, I even had
less quantity of lipids in my blood. So I
did not make more analysis, only took care
of my diet.
Currently, after 4 months of finished the
treatment, I still have some small pimples
sometimes, and very little quantity of
sebum (around 10 or 15% of the quantity I
had before the treatment). Truly I am very
happy, even I do not have to wash my hair
everyday, as before. But I am a little
perfectionist man, so I will probably
begin a second treatment with accutane 40
mg/day during 3 or 4 months after the
summer. I think I will not go to the
doctor again, I am the same healthy man,
though probably I will make one or two
blood analysis again, just in case.
I hope my experience has been helpful to
you!
