Month 3 Week 2.5 I haven't posted in a while. Mostly because I have been beyond frustrated with my skin. I think my skin is actually worse off than it was when I initially started Epuris (accutane). ...

Month 2 - Week 3 SO DRY DRY DRY DRY DRY DRY I don't know what happened to my skin overnight, but its SO DRY. I used to have to blot many times a day. Now I can barely get through 6 hours without hav...

I found that drinking water is super hard, but helps so much! I find the day after I drink a lot of water (usually about 6-8L a day), my side effects (dry skin, lips, eyes) are way less than the days ...

Month 2 - Week 1: Did my lab work, and everything came back normal, and I'm on my second month of 10 mg/day. Depending on how this month goes I am going to bump up to 20 mg/day next month. The side ...

Hey cdog,   It was definitely the side effects that had me avoid going on it for so long. Its not even the side effects that I'm going through right now that scare me. Its like you said, all the...

Hey cdog! I just finished my first month on 10 mg/day of accutane (epuris to be exact). I'm 25, never had acne before but then when I hit 24 my face decided to go nuts. I tried a bunch of topical cre...

Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer, I use the oil free version. But it's stll incredibly moisturizing and doesn't stick to the dry patches. You need a concealer if you have lots of marks, but it's my go...

Week 3.5 - Week 4: This week has been the hardest for sure. I purged pretty badly for about 2 days, huge red cysts with yellow heads all over my cheeks and jawline. I was silly and popped them...bad i...

Hey MutualCore, Glad to hear your skin is clearing up! My acne isnt mild, but it's definitely not severe. Somewhere in the middle, with lots of scarring. I'm on the lower dose because I wanted to min...

I found that CeraVe didn't give me enough moisture and it was this weird thick consistency that left a white haze on my face. I've tried tons of moisturizer + SPF combos and I find none gave me the mo...

Hey MutualCore, I'm on a 10 mg/day dose and I just finished my 3rd week, so it looks like we are on almost the same schedule! I use Cetaphil daily, sometimes even 2-3 times a day. It is total safe t...

Hi aiadia I am also a 25 year old woman on a low dose of 20 mg/day. Oh, and I also live in a cold climate (Scandinavia). Just wanted to let you know that I can really relate to your situation. Not jus...

My skin journey has been for a lack of better words...a journey. Throughout my teen years, I never had acne on my face. I did struggle with a bit of back acne when I was 16-17 however, I live in a pr...
