So it is approximately one month post Accutane and my skin is as clear as can be. The oil is slowly returning to my skin which is great since it was so uncomfortable for so long. I have been using Obagi to lighten my hyperpigmentation and it is working slowly but surely. No more muscle aches, no more crazy dry lips - it seems like my tane treatment was...

Accutane every 7 years
Well, no breakouts - clear smooth skin. My skin is still dry but the oil is slowly coming back - I forgot my Aquaphor this week and it wasnt a big deal. The muscle soreness is completely gone and my Dermatologist said the length of my skin being dry is an indicator of the effectiveness of treatment. So we will see.
My lips feel quasi normal! It has been 20 weeks since I have experienced normal lips - I applied Aquaphor twice today versus 20 times a day. I still feel a bit fatigued but it is gettting much better. I had my eyebrows waxed and they took off a thin layer of skin - its my fault I am on Vitamin A cream and I still have a strong dose of Tane pumping...
The day is finally here! I took my last two Accutane pills this morning and I am so happy to finish my course of treatment. My face is 100% clear - dry as can be but clear. I will be so happy tomorrow that I wont have to take the meds - I hope my energy level quickly goes back to normal as well as my lips and skin - oil can be a good thing...
I took my pills this morning and I cannot wait for it all to be done tomorrow! The rash on my arms are back but I can deal especially with one more day of Tane. My hair was so dried out - I slept with my Morrocan Oil deep conditioner last night and I still woke up with dry hair - quasi managable but extremely dry. I promise to take some pictures this...
I have nothing to report but I cannot believe I have two more days of Tane! My lips are very dry and peely today but I am baring with it since there are only two more days on this drug. My skin is clear as can be - I booked an Accupuncture session for this Saturday - cosmetic accupuncture is amazing for fine lines and skin tone as well as acne. But I...
I cannot believe I have 3 more days of Tane - I made the huge mistake of drinking Friday night and I paid the price Saturday. It felt like a hangover times 100. I had one drink and it ruined me - I have to remember I am on 80mg of Tane which is an extremely high dose for my weight and acne severity. Anyways, three more days - I cannot wait - my skin is...
I made the mistake of having a beer on Saturday night and Sunday I could barely walk because of the muscle stiffness. I would avoid drinking on Accutane all together - its not worth the strain on your liver and the side effects. My skin has been so peely lately - I dont know if it Vitamin A cream 0.025% or Accutane. I cannot believe I have single digit...
So after a week of unbearable dryness it is subsiding, my arms were scaly and peeling and my face was flaking. It was embarassing to say the least but it has gone down. It took a few days - so I decided to drink loads of water and applying moisturizer a few times a day and it subsided. I am so fatigued as well - it has really taken its toll but I am going...
I cannot believe 2 more weeks and I cannot wait. My skin is soooo dry and rashy and my body is saying no more - but I have 16 more days to go and I cannot wait. No breakouts on my face but flakey, peeling skin due to the Vitamin A.
I am so dry and fatigued. My arm skin is red and flaky and I am so tired all the time. Otherwise, no new breakouts my skin is clear as can be - I am using Vitamin A cream 0.025% every evening and when I encounter just too much peeling I slap on Effaclar H in the evening as well as the day. I cannot wait to be in Week 18 it sounds so close to the end.

I am so fatigued and achy and my skin is dry and flaky. I am so ready for my Tane treatment to be over - I am coming up to 3 more weeks and I cannot wait. I have no new breakouts. I also decided not to write for awhile - its not helping me move along with the process and I really have nothing new to report. I will write if something noteworthy happens.
I am so fatigued on this medication and I am tired of being tired. My eczema is also flaring up similar to what I was going thru in Week 8 - it is painful, ugly and uncomfortable. I have dry patches on my arms and legs - I know my body is saying enough but it is coming close to the end - I keep telling myself it is ending soon. My allergies are also...
So one month to go starting today! I cannot wait for November 16th to come around. My skin is looking clear and I cannot wait to be off this drug. I was sooooo fatigued this weekend - I constantly needed naps. I don't remember it being this bad the last time around but then again I was seven years younger - lol!...
I took my Week 16 pictures first thing this morning. I was hardly awake and I think it is the best time to take pictures of your skin since it is completely product free. I am surprised at how much the hyperpigmentation has gone down in my mind I picture huge red dark spots all over my face that need to be covered with concealer. In my mind it is mental...
I accidentally erased my last post.
I went to my Dermatologist and he is very happy with my progress. He extracted two small spots on my left and right cheekbones. I am still on Vitamin A cream 0.025% and he recommended that I use the cream right after I wash my face versus waiting 20 minutes. He also mentioned that I have no scars just...

We have been experiencing a heat wave in Toronto with summer like weather of 25C (77F) over the past few days and it has been helping with the dryness and my mood 
I spent the day outside yesterday with SPF 50 slapped on my face and body and it felt good. I was extremely...

I am sitting in my office with Aquaphor slathered all over my lips, a super sore neck and upper back and feeling like I can sleep for a week. I am not going to lie Tane is getting to me. And I haven't washed my hair for a week and it is still not greasy - not one bit. I feel ugly and very uncomfortable and I am getting really tired of being so dry and...
So I am past my 100th day on Tane which means I am getting closer to the end. I have taken my medication diligently and I am committed to achiving clear skin. I went to see my doctor for my annual physical and she told me that they are seeing an increase of women developing acne later in life who are not responsive to antibotics and topicals. This is...
I am approaching my 100th day on Tane. I can say it just flew by but when I think of the peely lips, itchy dry skin, eczema flare ups, muscle aches, fatigue - I can say it has not just flown by it has been a long drawn out process. I have not broken out since my second breakdown when my doctor bumped my meds from 40mg to 80mg. I am just dealing with dry...
