Just wanted to do an update. I just started my 5th month and my skin looks fantastic! Just have some marks that will fade over time and only like 1 active pimple. I recently bought a clarisonic (2 days ago) and love it! I am trying that combined with 3 different new cleansers, cetaphil gentle cleansing bar, ambi complexion cleansing bar, and basis cleaner clean face wash. I'll let you know how it goes

I've gained a lot more self confidence and feel better as a person. I now go out more and do things because I don't have to hide my face or be ashamed of it.

great news and fantastic result. its good to hear your out and about being yourself.

good luck

JB

Thanks! I hope the progress just keeps coming!

I was really happy to see this! Good for you

It gives me so much encouragement that probably at the end of all the frustration and torture of accutane, there is hope for me too.

I wish you luck on your continued great skin and positive outlook on life!

Thanks so much! I really hope it works for you! The success rate is huge so it should! Your skin will get better! Acne is hard and frustrating! Keep your head up

Just an update, I only have 7 days left!! I am so excited for this torture to be over! It was totally worth it, but 6 months is a long time! I am tired of the constant dry lips -_- I have not had a breakout out in what seems like forever! My derm prescribed me Retin-A Micro Gel for scarring and blackheads I am still disapointed with my skin because I have alot of scaring and marks but she said the Retin-A will take them away.

hey just a question, how long after starting accutane your lips got dry?

It took less than a week for my lips to become dry. I think, specifically, 3 or 4 days.

How were u taking your pills? And when?

I was taking 3, 20mg pills every morning when I woke up
