I was having problems due to drug use. I tried everything, lemon juice on my face, giving up sugar, giving up dairy, and finally giving up the drugs.

The final thing that worked for me was giving up drugs AND going on Acutane for 6 months. It cost me an arm and a leg at the time, but I was desperate. I was cursing my dermatologist, who at 18 put me on Antibiotics 3x daily for 5 years. After switching several brands (one I had a severe reaction to) I swore them off as non-effective.

After just 6 months of the Acutane I finally cleared up and was able to remain Acne free for a year or so. After starting to do drugs again the Acne came back, but I think overall the experience helped me to become more conscious of what I put in my body and now I juice daily (carrot, celery, cilantro, parnsnip, ginger, parsley, kale, green apple,) and I eat just one cooked meal a day and a big raw salad a day. I still have breakouts around my period and have sworn off drugs (including advil and over-the-counter.)

So convince the Dermatoligist you want to give the Accutane a try...mine said some maintain their complexion after the 6 months with a small dose once a week.

Go for it. Good luck, I totally understand your frustrations.
