Is that the stuff that is in like a little cup and you have to keep it in the fridge and they give you a tiny spatula to apply it with?

That shiz burned... but it worked well. Didn't get rid of it all but helped.

the best Iv found for clear skin is a wash cloth and a bar of soap with water

Oh, that might have been the next step for me then. I don't remember, that was a few years ago.

I've taken it, and yes it is some bad stuff. While I was taking it my skin was SOOO dry, it burned when I wet it, and my lips would bleed because they were so dry. My skin is still dry, but not like it was while I was taking Accutane. Another thing is that it's expensive as FAWK!!
It is some pretty bad stuff, I'd only recommend it if your acne is REALLY bad (Mine was ridiculously bad). Don't take it if you're one of those people that has like 2 zits and thinks they have a serious breakout. They're not even sure of the long term side effects of it.
