Accutane. But it's very dangerous.

Before getting meds you have to go to a doctor if there is no other possible way to get rid of it because yes some acne medication can be bad for you and dangerous.

I would get a clarisonic and some really good quality face wash before drugs. Sephora has an awesome return policy so you can return it if you don't like it. My skin is perfect and I hardly wear makeup now a yr later.

Oh ya I got the Mia and use the poor cleansing brush with the Peter Thomas Roth anti aging orange face wash. It's worth every penny.

Yes accutane is EXTREMELY dangerous and here in Australia it's kind of used as a last resort. It works by drying the skin and thinning it a lot. Has a lot of side effects and you absolutely cannot get pregnant or be pregnant while taking it because it causes severe birth defects. Because of the thinning of the skin any facial waxing is not recommended either.
I would try a chemical peel like a glycolic acid, AHA or BHA you could get at a pharmacy. Salycilic acid is a BHA and will penetrate into the dermis and help clear your acne breakouts if you want to try something else before going so drastic

Aczone works well, but you have to get it prescribed to you b.
