    - i was sort of surprised my derm suggested it because mine wasn't all that severe. overall, as long as i don't have some horrible side effect that - kare Dec 11, 13:22
  - it has been for me. generally it puts acne permanently into "remission." some people need a second course after a year or two. i didn't. -- nm - kare Dec 11, 13:19
  - I know several people whose skin is evidence to the contrary. -- nm - loosilu Dec 11, 13:14
