ITV2, 9pm

-

Georgia ‘Toff’ Toffolo (right) was so desperate to get rid of her acne, which drew venomous comments online, she turned to a controvers­ial prescripti­on ‘wonder drug’.

Roaccutane has been linked to depression, sudden psychotic episodes and even suicide.

In this film, Toff gets under the skin of the multi-billion pound acne industry, revealing the risks people take in their quest for perfection.

Roche, makers of Roaccutane, said: “We take the safety of all our medicines very seriously. Like most medication­s, Roaccutane can have side effects. That is why we recommend it is prescribed very carefully, with particular considerat­ion regarding any previous history of depression.”
