birth control pills, yaz and 3 more...

I'm 25 now and I started taking birth control pills back when I was 19 because I would get migraines and terrible cramps, I always had mild to moderate acne (non-cystic) throughout high school which I contribute also to wearing cheap makeup and sweating a lot from sports and not being able to wash it off right away. My gyno first tried ortho tri-cyclin fi...

Day 122 Of Accutane!

Posted by ls206816 in Battle with Acne, 20 May 2013 · 269 views

So today I will be starting my 5th month! I went to the dermatologist today and he put my on 80mg now. He told me to take 40mg with breakfast and then TWO 20mg with diner. The reason he is having me take two 20mg is because I I don't tolerate the 80mg I can always go back to 60mg. So I will pick that up at the pharmacy tomorrow and hopefully they will hav...

Week 15: I Dare To Say The Regimen Is Working Out~

Posted by birdReem in The Regimen: 2nd Time Around, 20 May 2013 · 300 views
regimen, healing and 1 more...

I think it's been about 2 weeks as I promised to update about how I'm doing so far (see pics below). I think The Regimen (Daniel Kern's) is working (the 2nd time around, that is---read my first post about this whole "2nd time around" process). What do you think? Most of what I see in the mirror is hyperpigmentation; sadly, I believe it's going t...

Posted by Daja19 in Daja19's Blog, 20 May 2013 · 323 views
accutane experience

As I'm about to begin my third month of Accutane, there has not been a significant change. When I went to the dermatologist a month ago, she said in the third month my skin should break out less to the extent of no new acne forming. As of right now, I have a few breakouts and the scars of old acne is not fading at all even a little bit. I'm hoping this th...

Day 52

Posted by bgh9080 in bgh9080's Accutane Blog, 20 May 2013 · 215 views

Things are OK again - breakouts on my back from last 2 weeks are gone. Have a few spots on my face, but nothing awful. And they're more surface-y spots, not cysts.  Cheeks feel like redness is just fading still. Chest still has one spot, the same one that's been around for like 1.5 weeks.  What I do want to talk about is this process o...

Well I had a lovely weekend and stayed relatively clear...however I got really angry on saturday night with my boyfriend and because he was drunk and feel asleep I had so much anger that didn't have an outlet which led to me taking it out on my skin.

I tried to get back on because i started breaking out like crazy a few weeks ago and then i ran out of it. now my face is so bad and I don't know if I should buy the regimen again and start back on it. I Just hated the first part of it, de...

vitamin d, isotrex, retinoid and 5 more...

Hi guys, I am currently using Isotrex, which is a topical gel version of isotretinoin in the concentration of 0.05%. I am finding it helpful in keeping comedones and inflammed spots at bay, but I find it quite irritating and only use it about 4-5 times a week. I am also taking fish oil that contains extra vitamin D3 and it is meant to help with acne....

I am testing out a new product. Now that spring has sprung (even in icy Minnesota) I have to use a sunscreen moisturizer. I selected Cetaphil spf 30 oil control moisturizer for acne prone skin. See below. Other than the addition of a new moisturizer no big changes to my regimen. Unfortunately my experiment with reducing my dosage of amoxicillin has failed...

Posted by kevinlowder in My Journey., 18 May 2013 · 353 views

It's been a minute since I've been on here! I've raised my dose with the ungodly expensive 30 mg. twice a day. If there is one recommendation I can make- Don't start this unless you have some money put away, or unless your insurance rocks because mine CLEARLY does not. -___- Anyways.  I'm dryer than I ever have been, my face isn't as red though,...

Still Clear! Omg!

Finally got my period a few days ago, and I am still clear.  I got minor PMS anxiety issues and a couple of zits popped up, but I'm not worried about it!  My skin looks great.   I'm wearing less make up everyday and I'm extremely happy. I'm busy too.  Now that my days of obsessing over acne appears to be over, I realize I hav...
