Hello everyone,
I've been taking Claravis (generic brand of Accutane) 40mg (twice a day) for 4 days now. I'm 20 years old, weigh 150 lbs, and 5'8'. So when will my skin start peeling? Nothing's really happened yet, except a little (very little) peeling in the nose.

I'm taking the medication with a glass of milk, or sometimes a pb and j sandwich. Sometimes I eat hummus with crackers.
Followed always by a half a liter of water

My skin never really "peeled" it just got extremely dry. Just make sure to moisturize every day and you will be just fine. Good luck with your course man, I hope the best for you.

quick question on that, did it help with your acne scars? And did it overall work for you? Thanks man.

My skin began peeling within the first week, and got quite noticeable by the second week. It was mainly around my mouth area, but a few other areas cropped up every now and then. A gentle wash cloth solved the problem.

I'm in my second month of Roaccutane 30mg a day.
