Hi! It's weird that Implanon has given you a breakout after almost a year of using it, usually it takes the first three months to see if bc is bad for your skin or not. Maybe it's due to something els...

So I'm just about to put in my second ring. my derm said that I should give it three months before I switch. I'm still not sure if what I've had could be considered a hormonal breakout. The first two ...

what birth control should i choose while i'm already on accutane? i don't want these anti-acne pills like yaz or diane, just something that won't make my acne worse and doesn't have too much side effe...

20 mg is not a low dose and it's not worth it if the problem is just oily skin. however, i'm taking accutane for oily skin and very mild acne for almost a year and i'm on 5 mg every other day (so ultr...

So I'm on a long-term low-dose Accutane treatment. I take 5 mg every other day and it's been keeping my skin almost perfectly clear for a year now. My acne before Accutane was very mild; mostly oily s...

Hi! I'm on low dose Accutane (5 mg every other day) right now. I've started taking it at the end of June 2015. As you can see, I'm no longer very active on this website. That's because I don't have a...

omg these posts really bring me back to the times when i used to hate my skin. so many feels.right now, i'm on accutane and my skin is finally cured (and by cured i mean no serious breakouts in months...

Good luck with your treatment! Unfortunately, I'm afraid that with 40 mg every other day you'll get almost the same side effects as with 40 mg per day. Side effects are dose-related, so the bigger pil...

All the horror stories about Accutane had made me so anxious about it that I couldn't take my first pill for almost a week. Every day I was like "No, I'm too scared, I'll do it tomorrow, maybe my acne...

Well here's my last update guys as I'm off the Roacc now. How things can change in a very small amount of time. Basically I started getting burning hot flushes with each dose of medication. I was on 1...

I'm not sure how it works in the USA because I'm from Europe, but I think that 20 mg per day is not really a low dose for a long-term treatment. Maybe that's the reason why dermatologists won't prescr...

I agree with tea rex. For some people cutting out dairy might actually help and totally clear their acne, for others it might result in less breakouts, but for some people it might do nothing at all. ...

I'm not really tired like you guys, but I've noticed that after drinking my hangovers are waaay worse now when I'm on Accutane. Apart from that, I really don't experience any tiredness. But I'm on a v...

So today for the first time ever I've noticed a small muscle twitch on my cheek, next to my lips. It's pulsating all the time and I'm really freaking out. It can be due to the stress (I was really str...

  hi! i know it's late but i have a question to you all.   i'm underweight but i don't have an eating disorder. i was always really thin, maybe due to metabolism, i don't know. i eat nor...

I don't think it's normal. I've been using glycolic acid 10% (Bioderma Sebium Serum, very good product, they sell it in Europe and Canada, don't know about the US) and nothing like this happened. Actu...

My absolute favorite is Nyx Twin Cake. It's not cheap, but it keeps my skin matte for a long time, it has never given me any breakouts and you don't have to use a lot of it because it has a pretty goo...

So my boyfriend and I are planning to start swimming regularly (each Saturday). The problem is, I'm always freaking out about my skin and whether I'm doing something that may worsen it. Right now I'm ...
