Hi guys!

I've been on accutane for almost a month now (I'm on week 4). I still havent experienced really dry skin to the point where its flakey. The only time it actually got a bit flakey was around week 2/3 where it started to flake around my nose and mouth. The oil in my face has been reduced though. I have moderate acne, and I'm still breaking out. I was on 20mg a day, in the first week, and then went up to 40mg, which is what I'm taking right now (the dermatologist told me to do so). I weight 48 kg/105 pounds. Female. The acne on my back has gotten really really better though! I see more results on my body than on my face. I have really dry lips, nose bleeds and joint pains though.

I'm just not sure if the accutane is working for me or not since I dont have really dry/flakey skin, and it seems like everyone who's had success with accutane has had really dry skin. Anyone else experienced something similar or knows if this is okay?

Thanks!
