One of the most common ways of treating acne is the use of retinoids!. Retinoids are substances derived from Vitamin A, which attempt to cure acne by normalizing the lifecycle of follicle cells!. There are two types of such substances, based on application: external (topical) and oral!. The best known external retinoids are Retin-A, Differin and Tazorac, while the oral retinoids list is headed by the popular Accutane!.

However, about one quarter of the patients who used Accutane or other drugs based on isotretinoin may relapse and require additional treatment!.

But the biggest drawback of retinoids is the long list of side effects, which sometimes makes retinoids look like a disease rather than a cure!.

The most common side effects are dry skin and nosebleeds!. Many patients have also reported liver problems, while a few complained of depression!. However, the scientific community is still split on the issue of depression!. More seriously, isotretinoin is known to cause birth defects, which is why female patients have to use two separate forms of birth control or vow abstinence during the treatment!. Pregnant women are not allowed to use anything but the mildest treatments!.

The bottom line is that retinoids are a good idea if one can cope with the side effects!. This begs the question: why not use something just as effective, but without the side effects!. Acne treatment systems, such as ClearPores: http://www!.clearpores!.com/clicks/clickth!.!.!. are also popular because of their success in dealing with the condition, but lack the extreme side that makes retinoids a pain to use!. The choice between these treatments is yours!.

I took Accutane as a young teen!. It's true that it makes your acne a little worse at first, but for me it was a small price to pay for the magic that it does for afterwards!. It's definitely something I would recommend, but there are a few small side effects you want to look into before trying it!. Nothing too serious, I just had extremely dry skin while taking it and used alot of lotion!. But it DEFINITELY will get rid of that acne, it's amazing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I take it
it makes ur acne worse for like a week or two but it could be worth it!. depending on ur dosage it can really dry u out!. I need chapstick constantly but it's not to bad for guys tho!. for girls it has increadably bad birth defects so they are a lot more strict on which girls get it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I took it when it first came out 25 years ago!. I took it for 4 months!. It does get worse at the beginning, and and the dry skin can get pretty severe, but if you have bad acne, it's worth it!. Also, most of the improvement occurs after you quit taking it!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
