Heya Gamer

ummm as i rememered, mine was oily when i started and when i stopped... oil came back in a few days and also less sensitive as u mentioned. Some people will have a different skin type after, like oily to dry... but Accutane does make your skin sensitive so be careful with it.

All the best!

Thin skin is by far the most annoying side effect for me. I get irritation if I wipe an eyebrow, for christ's sake.

Shaving is sometimes a hassle as well.

glad to see im not the only one.so the oily does return???that suks..isnt that the whole point of taking accutane??im so scared to come off it fearing that the breakouts will return.i still get one or two here and there.but only when i have alot of dairy i thought i would be able to eat anything on tane guess not.i was surprised when even my derm asked me if i eat alot of dairy.and then told me try to stay away from it.oh well i cant really complain accutane has been so good to me..im sorry i waited this long.but you live and learn right???lata

yeah lmao, I'm scared to go off accutane aswell for the fear of breakouts, but I must agree, think skin sucks.

I just gently rub a tissue across my cheeks and it feels like its burning
