Is it normal to have clear skin in TWO WEEKS on accutane? i believe it's my day 13. so it technically hasn't even been 2 weeks fully.
I did only have mild (but super stubborn and consistent) acne before including a lot of white heads that don't come out. (which leaves my face discustingly sandy looking)
I haven't had a breakout since i started, and now my face is basically 90% clear. My skin somehow doesn't even acne scars on my face. they're just.. gone...
Im kind of scared that i'll hit the initial breakout and start breaking out. Or will i not?? SOMEONE HELPP
Count yourself lucky and don't question it would be my view. I'm still breaking out badly and I'm in week 10. Really losing hope.

awe i'm really sorry to hear! but i hope you keep going. When i was digging deep into accutane forums, a lot of users said their breakout lasted months before clearing up. Keep strong!!! (oh and whats your dose?)
Have you cut out dairy? I never wanted to admit but I had to quit drinking milk because it broke me out so bad without me realizing.
One of my friends is in week 7 but not getting much relief.

Thank you. It really helps to hear that some others have still had breakouts for months as well. I posted to see if there were others but so far there seems to only be one other experiencing similarly disappointing results! My dose is pretty low to be fair, only 10mg though I'm allowed to increase to 15mg if I want but am a bit scared to because I'm already losing hair on 10mg. Glad you're getting such good results with yours. What dose are you on?
And yeh I haven't eaten dairy in like 4 years now and it made a noticeable difference to me too. I still break out worse if I have even the slightest bit of cheese. The fat on red meats (especially bacon and sausages) do it for me too.
My situation is extremely similar to yours the sandy thing is annoying af lol, anyway i started accutane 5 days ago and Im having a little worse of a breakout but nothing serious. It seems like any acne i had it just getting red and scabbing up but not really much new so maybe its just healing idk. Anyway i think its pretty normal to clear up fast if you have milder acne. Im hoping for the same here.
What dosage are you btw? im only 20mg

10mg?? that's interestingly low. What is your weight??? I'm on 40mg right now.. i'm weight 113lbs. And why are you only allowed 10-15mgs?
Today when took off my makeup after work, i saw that i had a few scattered pimples on my face. as well as dry patches.

Yess the sandy thing doesn't even cover with make up!! depending on the lighting you can look good or like a nightmare in a second. ugh. I weigh 113lbs and on 40mg. What's your weight?
today is I think... day 14 and my face gave me a few pimples and whiteheads as well as dry patches. But it covers ok with makeup.

tell him or her to keep going!
Week 9 and still breaking out. From what I have read, this is far from unusual! Breakouts occur because the skin is purging. Every increase in dose also results in a breakout. I think it's quite comforting to know the skin is pushing out all the comedones and clogs and blackouts. The pores are shrinking. If you don't have a breakout and skin is clear on a low dose then I expect the acne was very mild in the first place. All the best everyone. Keep strong!
Blackheads not blackouts!!
