I am currently on month 5 and I would say that I started seeing results in month 3. Honestly, my acne was moderate to begin with and the first two months on tane, it got worse than it ever was to begin with. But now, perfectly clear skin! It was definitely worth going through a short period of isolation for the pay off. I feel like a new person so I would encourage anyone to take accutane and stick with it!!

I started seeing the skin get better around Month 2 (less cysts) and by Month 5 there was no more breakouts.

no more breakouts at the start of month 3 for me. month 1 and 2 were very bad with the initial breakout. plenty of scars and redmarks left, but no more new zits. hopefully everything will disappear.

I'm 2/3 through month 1. I have moderate-severe acne which got worse for the first two weeks, I saw an improvement the beginning of the third week, but am now getting a bit worse again but not like before.



Overall I would say I'm seeing improvement already, but if that stays or gets worse from here I don't know.


Best of luck!

Im at the beginning of month 4 and I would say was breaking out frequently month 1 and 2. Month 3 less breakouts and now not that many but still red marks and some clogged pores that I know still need to clear

I am almost done with my first month , and my skin has really improved. It started improving after about week 1-2. I guess I am somewhat lucky, cause I have had no IB.

Had moderate/mild acne before accutane, turned into severe during. Just started month five, still breaking out a little on my chin. Like a few white heads here and there. Stopped breaking out in cysts in month 3. Red marks are fading now. I think I may have to extend my treatment because it seems like my face has reached a stalemate, meaning this may be the clearest it's ever going to get. sad.gif

If I take accutane for the exact 6 months, I'll end on my birthday. What an awesome birthday gift!
