TL;DR
- Accutane® (isotretinoin) is available online through TGIC in all 50 states plus Guam, prescribed by a U.S. board-certified dermatologist licensed where you live.
- Every Accutane® patient gets an iPledge concierge who tracks monthly windows, pregnancy-test timing, and refill deadlines.
- You take a ~2-minute quiz, upload photos, check out on an Accutane® Clear Course plan, then a dermatologist reviews your case within 24 hours.
- The Clear Course (care + concierge + dashboard) is cash-pay. The partner pharmacy runs your insurance on the medication. Some eligible insured patients pay as low as $0 for the prescription.
- A prescription is never guaranteed. Dose, course length, and whether Accutane® is right for you are clinical decisions.
- Operated by BNG Health Services, LLC. BNG is not the prescribing physician. Independent board-certified dermatologists prescribe.
Can you get Accutane® online?
Yes, in many cases. Telehealth Accutane® is legal when state rules, iPledge enrollment, lab monitoring, and a licensed prescriber are all in place. TGIC connects you with a board-certified dermatologist who reviews your intake and photos and decides whether isotretinoin fits your severity, history, and safety profile.
Online does not mean unsupervised. Accutane® still requires:
- iPledge enrollment (every U.S. patient)
- Monthly check-ins and, when it applies, pregnancy testing
- Periodic liver and lipid labs as ordered by your dermatologist
- A valid monthly authorization window before the pharmacy can dispense
If your case is out of scope for telehealth, your dermatologist may route you to in-person care. For where that line falls, and what iPledge asks of you either way, read online Accutane® vs an in-person dermatologist.
How to get Accutane® online through TGIC

- 2. Upload two photos. One from the front, one from the side.
- 3. Choose an Accutane® Clear Course plan. You choose a Clear Course plan to fit your budget. Exact totals show before you pay.
- 4. Dermatologist review. A board-certified dermatologist licensed in your state reviews your case. You see their name, photo, and state license before treatment starts. TGIC does not use nurse practitioners or physician assistants for acne diagnosis or prescription decisions.
- 5. iPledge and labs. If prescribed, you enroll in iPledge and your concierge tracks windows and testing cadence. Labs are ordered as needed and billed separately.
- 6. The partner pharmacy fills and ships. The pharmacy runs your insurance (or quotes a cash price), then ships with free Rx shipping. Ongoing care stays in your dashboard.
Step-by-step detail for every track: How TGIC works.
Eligibility caveats (read before you quiz)
- Accutane® is typically considered for moderate-to-severe acne, scarring risk, or acne that hasn’t cleared on appropriate topicals or orals. Your dermatologist decides.
- Pregnancy is incompatible with Accutane®. Patients who can get pregnant must follow iPledge contraception and testing rules.
- You must be able to complete monthly check-ins and respond in the dashboard.
- TGIC serves all 50 states plus Guam, for Accutane® and for the Clear Course. State eligibility is confirmed at intake. See States and eligibility.
- Teens 13 and up can enroll with parent or guardian consent.
- Individual results vary. Many patients clear during a course; some need a second course or maintenance. TGIC does not guarantee clearance.
What TGIC tracks vs. what you handle
TGIC, your dermatologist, and your concierge: clinical review, messaging, iPledge window alerts, refill timing, pharmacy handoff, and the dashboard. The concierge guides and tracks every iPledge step. The program itself still runs through iPledge.
You: take the medication as prescribed, complete monthly check-ins and labs on time, follow contraception rules if they apply, and reply to dashboard messages.
Windows, testing cadence, and missed-window recovery are explained in the iPledge guide.

Common questions
Can I get Accutane® online without seeing a doctor in person?
Yes, when telehealth rules in your state allow it and a board-certified dermatologist licensed in your state approves Accutane® (isotretinoin) after reviewing your intake and photos. You still complete iPledge, monthly check-ins, and labs. A prescription is never automatic. Through The Goal Is Clear, Accutane® care includes an iPledge concierge. BNG Health Services, LLC operates the brand and is not the prescribing physician.
Will a dermatologist actually prescribe Accutane® for me, or do I have to fail everything else first?
Not necessarily. The FDA label describes isotretinoin for severe nodular acne that other treatments, including antibiotics, have not helped. The 2024 American Academy of Dermatology guideline goes wider: it strongly recommends oral isotretinoin for acne that is severe, that causes scarring or a psychosocial burden, or that has failed standard oral or topical therapy. Acne that leaves marks or weighs on you counts. At TGIC a board-certified dermatologist licensed in your state reviews your photos and history within 24 hours and tells you whether you qualify, in all 50 states plus Guam. If Accutane® is not right for you, they say so and say why. A prescription is never automatic.

How fast can I start Accutane® online with TGIC?
After the quiz, photos, and checkout, a board-certified dermatologist reviews your case within 24 hours. Your first fill also depends on iPledge enrollment and, when it applies, the required pregnancy-test timing before the first prescription window. Your concierge walks you through the dates.
Do I need insurance to get Accutane® online?
No. The Clear Course (dermatologist care, iPledge concierge, and dashboard) is cash-pay. If you have insurance, the partner pharmacy runs it on Accutane® (isotretinoin). Some eligible insured patients pay as low as $0 for the prescription. Coverage and copays vary by plan.
Is low-dose Accutane® available online through TGIC?
Yes, when the dermatologist agrees it's a clinical fit. TGIC's board-certified dermatologists may prescribe low-dose Accutane® (isotretinoin) protocols when clinically appropriate. Dose and duration are individualized based on severity, side-effect tolerance, and goals.
What if I miss an iPledge window?
If you miss your iPledge prescription window, that month's prescription voids and you wait for the next monthly cycle. You do not lose overall program eligibility, but you lose a month of treatment. TGIC's iPledge concierge sends window-open and window-closing alerts to help prevent missed windows.
Does TGIC prescribe Accutane® in all 50 states?
Accutane® is available in all 50 states plus Guam. State eligibility is confirmed during intake. The Clear Course for topical and hormonal acne care serves all 50 states plus Guam too.
Who is the prescribing physician at The Goal Is Clear?
Independent U.S. board-certified dermatologists licensed in your state review cases and prescribe when appropriate. BNG Health Services, LLC operates The Goal Is Clear brand and is not the prescribing physician.
Accutane® vs tretinoin: which one do I get online?
Tretinoin is a topical cream used long-term for mild-to-moderate acne and texture. Accutane® (isotretinoin) is an oral medication used in a defined course for moderate-to-severe acne when appropriate. Your board-certified dermatologist chooses based on severity, history, and prior treatment response.
