I have been on accutane for about 11 days, 40 mg twice daily, and have had zero side effects for the most part. My skin immediately started to improve and my skin is basically completely clear besides a couple stragglers. I have not had to use moisturizer at all, im using a hydrating face wash once daily, and vaseline on my pretty dry lips. Is it safe to say that I am someone who will experience very little or moderate side effects for the duration of my treatment, which will be 4 months?(Knock on wood!)
I thought twice about posting this because I dont want to be the bearer of bad news and i am hoping for oyu I am wrong, but I had no side effects either for 14 +days
than BAM...
Im trying to push through
Mys kin was very very oily before..I oly use little moisturizer where needed and my skin is tight but not peeling
My lips are dry but not terribly..no other side effects
What cleanser are u using?
GOOOOOOD LUCK
Hope u are one of the lucky ones!!
they do exist so it is very very possible!
80mg is a steep dose..so that is fantastic!!!
U will get the meds u need in a shorter period of time

Honestly, a very similar thing happened to me. My skin happened to improve quite a bit until around the 30th day- and then it took a turn for the worse for a while. Dryness didn't set in until about this time as well. You may get lucky and have smooth sailing. If you're not experiencing ANY side effects though (I.e dryness)- you may need to up your dose or make sure to take your medication with a fatty meal.
