Hi everyone

I just started Accutane (today I will take my fourth pill - 60mg i weigh around 48kgs) and I really need advice on how to cover up my acne - my skin is bumpy and red

I really hope that I can find oil-free non-comedogenic products that will not stop my skin from progressing

I am really dreading the initial breakout period - I have had these huge red spots that are so bumpy - I never had any skin problems before last summer and now I am so upset and I realise how pretty I was before

I hate going out - I have a birthday dinner tomorrow but I cannot bear to go unless I manage to cover up really well without getting cakey

I only go to uni coz i cannot afford to miss lectures but I hate it cause everyone looks at me coz i never had acne or serious spots and I look so different

At the moment i have sisley phyto teint eclat, body shop concealer and la roche possay green concealer (but it irritates my skin).

Thanks everyone and sorry to bother you all about my problems

Hi~
You are on Accutane now, so your skin must be pretty dry~ If your skin weren't as dry I would recommand you JLynn's mineral foundation. Her mineral foundation are the best that I've try so far. I was looking through the forum, and i think this other lady is selling liquid mineral make up, which is suppose to be very soothing and won't dry out your skin as much. So you might want to check her products out at deepestbeauty.com
And don't worry about how your skin looks now. You will eventually ride this out. Anyone who judge you by how your skin looks now are just stupid and imature.
Hope that helps~
