Acne.org Products
Hey!
im new to this website but I was hoping to find other people in a similar position to me!
I have had mild/moderate acne for about 10 years now. I had previously tried many prescribed medications and ointments for it but nothing ever worked. I was also put on the contraceptive pill and tried every over the counter product imaginable.
I had researched accutane so much for so long and I really thought it was my only hope, even though it's only usually prescribed for acne cases a lot more severe than mine. I went to see a dermatologist anyway and was very willing to beg for it but was prescribed it anyway and am now in my third week.
i just wanted to know if anyone here has been on accutane for a more mild case of acne and could share their experiences with me to give me more insight, as most causes and journeys I've seen online have been from much worse cases than mine. I currently take 30mg a day and will go up to 40mg from my second month. I already have very dry, swollen and burning lips, my skin is much drier (it doesn't get oily which is wonderful) and my hair doesn't get greasy anymore, I could probably go a week without washing it! Also, I've had an outbreak worse than my skin has been in quite a while, it went quite quickly but then dried off in a bit of a flaky mess! 
Thank you for any responses 
Getting prescribed accutane doesn't always mean you have to have super severe acne. It also how to do with how persistent your acne is in terms of how long you've had it and what other pills/medications/topicals have failed. Have you looked around on Youtube? I know most vids are people with severe acne but I've definitely seen at least a few people who have taken it for more moderate/mild acne and they have videos sharing their experiences!
