This won't be your typical before and after. This one's rather disheartening.
This first image was taken around August 2012. I have a silly strip on my nose (actually probably only the 3rd time I've ever used one in my life), but decided to take a photo just for fun. I apologise for the terrible instagram quality; years of acne may or may not have made me paranoid of real photos. Regardless, here it is, around 6 months after my second course of Roaccutane:

Then, through a combination of what may be stress, poor sleeping habits, poor diet, and my last course of Roaccutane wearing off, I started to break out again throughout October 2012. On the 16th November 2012, I filled a prescription for Retin-A, and also tweaked my skin regime a bit. It seemed to clear me up a little after the first 2 days, at the cost of some moderate flaking.
Then on the 19th November 2012, the initial breakout and/or purge may have occured.
This is me today. This is also the worst my skin has been in around 1.5 years.

Hopefully I'll be able to show y'all a real before and after in the next few months.
