Accutane Experience

Wow. What an amazing experience this has been. I honestly cannot believe my skin was ever as bad as it was. If I didn't have old pictures I would never have believed it. Look under this post to see photos of how bad my skin was at day 7!

I'm still only on 20mg a day and I have about 2 and a half months left on accutane. I get no side effects anymore. My...

So day 58 is almost over. I got a hormonal break out it seemed so so terrible so I took a pic and guess what? It's no where near as bad as what I started with, like, it doesn't even come close on the severity scale! So I thought I'd share. How weird is it that when you start to clear, then break out, it seems like the end of the world?...

A lot has happened since my last post. Derm visit, breakout, a music festival, huge pre Christmas party lunches and dinners. A lot of stress on my little body!

So my derm took one look at me last Tuesday and couldn't believe my progress on such a low dosage and only 7 weeks in. He said he would like to keep me at 20mg and see how it keeps...

I had only started taking photos at day 7 (because before that I didn't look at myself without makeup on) so I have included the pics from day 7 & from today. I have been having a really great experience so far. I'm only on 20 mg still (I see my derm in 2 hours to up my dosage) but I only have one active pimple it's quite large though you...

Hey guys!

Things are still going really well I had my blood tested last week and my results were perfect. I see my derm next Tuesday and hopefully will up my dosage to 40mg so I can be fully clear. I have 3 small actives at the moment which are tiny and basically nothing but what's weird is I have these two pores that weren't whiteheads or...

This morning I woke up next to my partner and he looked at me and said, oh my god your skin looks amazing! I have never heard those words uttered about my skin. It's only been 5 weeks and I'm clearing up incredibly well. I have about 3 small active pimples and the rest is clear. CLEAR, yes I still have redness and scarring, but this is amazing....

Not much new to report. I have has about 4 pimples in the last few days which is awesome compared to what it used to be but still annoying. My face is very red still and full of scarring so when I don't wear makeup I still look riddled with acne... Yay!

Ha but I can't complain I'm not getting any bad side effects, skins clearing up (even...

No new pimples! My face is just scarred but no active pimples. I am so happy. I'm wearing makeup and my skin looks freaking perfect with it on. Ill upload pics eventually I've taken photos every couple of days or so since being on accutane. I'm so so thrilled! Tomorrow is the end of week 4 and then on to week 5! Time is flying now...

Really starting to see results now. My skin has gotten extremely dry even on my face. This morning I woke up with a dry peeling nose. That's never happened before and my existing pimples are drying up quickly, turning into scars. I haven't really gotten any new pimples for 2 days which is unheard of.

I started using swispers sensitive skin face...

Great day! Still have a few active pimples but overall my face is clearing up faster than it normally would. I'm much happier! Only one new whitehead rather than the usual 7 today ha.

so yep happy about that but this morning I woke up with a shooting pain in my ovaries. Anyone else (females obviously) had this happen to them? Not sure if I...
