Hi James smile.png it was a great idea to keep a log and create video diaries, wish I would of thought of that. Your acne looks alot better, you seem to fewer problem areas. 

Accutane hasn't worked as well for me as I would of hoped, I'm on a brand called isotretinoin, think it's the english brand of accutane. My acne isn't severe however like you have said I suffer from cysts, feels like a lump under the skin. I haven't had bad flare ups recently however I still have red marks from previous break outs. 

 

Do you still suffer from dry skin/lips? Just wondered if you recommend any products, I've been relying on Dermalogica moisturizer which is great but pricey, however as for my lips I can't seem to find a miracle cure. It's a bit annoying as well, as i'm a girl I like to wear lipstick which I can't... guessing you don't suffer from this problem though haha wink.png

Hey Hollie!! I'm on isotretonoin as well. It is accutane. It's a generiv brand of accutane. Accutane is no longer in production due to lawsuits and stuff. Works the same though... so I've been told. I don't get very dry lips luckily. But I reccomend aquaphor for chapped and dry lips. That's what I use as needed. :)  Let me know how your treatment goes :)

I live in AZ and I have the exact same problem. Breakout bad over Summer. Clear over Winter. It's a frustrating cycle and I have no idea what causes it. Hang in there.
