So I've been taking 40mg isotretinoin for 12 days. My lips are dry my face was painfully dry for a day but it's not too bad now.

so the IB is really getting me down. It's only been 12 days and I feel hopeless not to mention I have to have my hair pulled back at work so my entire face is exposed. How long will this last? its not even showing any signs of getting better, actually I see it getting a little worse everyday. I don't even want to leave the house it's really making me feel hopeless and depressed

It is an awesome technique that neutralizes the oil on the skin.. it is one of the main things I did to get clear skin.

Here is a video to describe it:

hello there! i just want to say that im in the same situation and i already started 3 months ago. my face looks really bad and i have no ability to leave the house atm... only thing we can do is to wait and be VERY parient.. i even heard that some people don't clear up till the end of their course.

Yea I know I'm just afraid it's not
going to work at all like everything else and I did this for nothing. But thank you it's nice to know I'm not the only one. I keep seeing people who cleared up month 2 and it makes me hopeless

I'll look into that I'm afraid to do it a little because usually this kind of thing might make me break out
