Yep, I had really bad acne when I was younger and the only thing that worked was isotretinoin, which is rough. My lips cracked and bled while I was taking that but when I was finished the acne was gone.

They made me pledge not to get pregnant while taking it despite the fact that I don't have a uterus, lol.

I took that stuff too (aka accutane). Severest depression I've ever experienced but I'm thankful to only get the occasional acne as an adult now.
