today marks my second week taking accutane. so far, i haven't had an initial breakout (or any breakouts at all, actually... which is impressive, considering i'm on my period right now). i'm going to sound crazy, but my skin is looking pretty good already. it's even looking good in direct sunlight! i have a feeling i might miss the IB, considering the regiment i was on before i took accutane and that about 75% of people don't get it. 

my skin and lips are dry, but not that badly. i actually don't mind losing my former oiliness. as for my lips, i've been religious about using chapstick, so it's not really an issue. aside from dryness, i haven't had any side effects (yet). 
i'm so excited to see the end result. if this solves my acne woes forever, i'm gonna be so unbelievably happy.
