Tetralysal (Lymecyclin) 600mg ED could help... Not expensive at all, 30$ 100 caps.

40mg / ed is the standard starting dose... working up to 80mg/ed in 2 months if liver values and skin dryness can stand it. 120mg is not uncommon as well, but I have never heard of higher. it is *highly* recommended that you monitor your blood levels while using accutane, no matter how much you use, especially following / during a cycle. accutane is commonly administered for 4-6 months.

if you cannot afford an appropriate dose, perhaps try one of the various cycline products - strong antibiotics that help with acne. Also, antibacterial dish soap applied directly to the skin has been shown to work (do it before bed).

i think acne.org might have more info you are looking for.

Russia: at that dose and duration, save your money.

Also, I don't know if this is appropriate to post (please remove if it is not), but you might want to try retin-A... a powerful topical acne fighter:
