Antibiotics work by preventing the bacteria from growing and initiating an immune response. Usually you will have to take it quite frequently and for a very long time.
Accutane is a 2-3 month treatment and it works by increasing the proliferation (turn over) of your skin and decreasing sebum production that bacteria uses to grow.
Accutane pretty much clears your face and usually afterwards you will be put on an anitbiotic regime to keep your face clear.
