Accutane is one of the best known acne treatments on the market.  It is used only for the most extreme cases, where patients have literally tried everything else.  Accutane will help you by using isotretinoin, a form of vitamin A that will basically dry out excess oils and therefore get rid of that possible cause of acne.  As such, it has been used not only to treat acne vulgaris, but also acne conglobata and other types of acne.

So how does Accutane actually work?  It uses vitamin A, which in topical form would increase the rate at which skin cells shed away.  But Accutane uses an extreme amounts of vitamin A, even a toxic amounts of vitamin A.  This obviously causes a problem.   But apparently, the toxicity level is less than that of regular vitamin A.  This is not to say that it is completely safe, far from.

In all truth, Accutane does work for many people.  It decreases oil production in the body, even stops it in some cases.  It gets rid of that particular problem and frankly speaking that particular side effect or raging hormones.  This is why it has been the only treatment literally successful in cases of acne conglobata for example, which leaves extreme scarring to say the least.

But the difference is it goes too far.  Your body needs water, and your body needs oils and moisture to some degree.  All in all, Accutane does not give you benefits without a certain cost.  It sometimes even makes acne worse, because your body needs a certain amount of oils.  There are good and bad oils, and Accutane gets rid of both types realistically speaking.

So all in all, Accutane has been known to cause side effects such as pinkeye, dry or fragile skin, dry or cracked lips, dry mouth, dry nose, itching, joint pain, nosebleeds, bowel inflammation and pain, chest pain, decreased night vision, decreased tolerance to contact lenses, delay in wound healing, depression, fatigue, headache, nausea, peeling palms or sores, rash, skin infections, stomach and intestinal discomfort, sunburn sensitive skin, thinning hair, urinary discomfort, vision problems, and vomiting.

Like we said, the body requires a certain amount of oil.  Without that oil, it can cause various problems to say the least.  The oils surround the joints, which is why it often causes arthritis.  The skin can at the very least dry out too much.  All in all, it can even cause severe depression and other mental disorders and problems for some people.

We would not recommend using Accutane.  It does not give you the benefits you are looking for, and it doesn’t give you any other benefits in some cases.  It is tainted to say the least, causing quite a few side effects causing skin to be worse and often causing acne to be worse.  But all in all, there are different choices, and quite frankly speaking, those other choices may provide surprising options for some people.
