My lips bled until I found Bite Beauty Lip Mask. I had to put it on basically hourly, but it helped more than anything. I think the key to any of them is reapplying before it's gone...always keep a st...

7 months on Absorica, 60 mg for the final 5 months .  

Month 7 - 2.5 weeks left on Accutane-  I just wanted to show my before and almost afters at this point. It's been a miracle worker for me. My only issue is joint pain, which I'm hoping goe...

Month 4, halfway to month 5 - My dose was lowered to 60 mg/day, and I feel MUCH better than I did at 80mg. My joint pain got better within days. I still have a bit in my heels, but it's tolerable. Ju...

I think I ended up at 100mg/day, once a day. It really worked well, though it wasn't without side effects (my period was super messed up, I was very tired for awhile, I got leg cramps...but I had clea...

I got bad initial breakouts with both spiro and accutane (which I'm on now). Spiro took almost 6 months for me to adjust, but kept me PERFECTLY clear for 8 years after that...I just didn't want to kee...

I used to use Dramatically Different from Clinique pre-accutane. It doesn't cut it with accutane dryness. I've been using Cerave AM and PM and so far those have been great.

Month 4 - Just a quick update. My face has been totally clear for two months now. I'm very excited by that. My chest had a huge flare last month, and now I just have a ton of really red/purple marks ...

Since there is a good chance that Accutane will make you break out more at first before it starts to get better and since going off BC might make you break out more at first, it would seem to kill two...

Thanks Fiveby5ive. I'm around day 80 myself (at 80 mg/day). I'm definitely gonna try DHA. I'm feeling slightly better today than I have been (randomly, and I don't know why) but yes, the HEELS! And li...

Day...I don't know what day it is. I'm about a week away from starting my 4th month... I am EXHAUSTED. I fall asleep all the time while trying to watch tv. I'm at work now and can barely stay awake. I...

For what it's worth, my derm put me on prednisone when he doubled my accutane dosage, and it cleared up my skin DRAMATICALLY during that week I took it. They prescribe it to help with initial breakout...

Bite Agave Lip Mask is literally the only thing working for me right now (I'm on month 3 of Absorica). I use the clear one at night, and the red one during the day. Burt's Beeswax lip balm is a dista...

I do experience this, but it's hit or miss. I will say, I've never had a problem at all in this department pre-accutane, but now, yes, on occasion, I've needed help. Still, it's not so bad as to proh...

I'm using just water in the morning, and at night washing with Cetaphil. My skin has become so dry that washing with anything aside from just water in the morning would strip it even more.

Day 45- Oh hey, side effects! I got away mostly unscathed at 40mg, but I'm feeling it with 80mg. I have a nasty, itchy rash on the back of my hands. My stomach is upset most of the time. Lips are un...

One quick product PSA: Agave Lip Mask by Bite Beauty I got it in the clear version (which essentially looks and feel just like petroleum jelly, but it has no petroleum in it). This is the ONLY thing ...

Day 37ish (I'm losing track)- Skin is actually super clear right now, which I think is likely more because of the Prednisone my derm put me on during my 40 to 80mg Accutane transition than anything. ...

Hey CravingClarity, yep, I was upped to 80 mg 6 days ago (at the start of month 2). He put me on 8 days of prednisone at the same time, to try to counteract a flare. So far, my skin is completely clea...

Day 25- Not a lot of change. I'm continuing to feel better and more confident. Things are dry, but manageable. I have had a sort of very low grade headache and a bit of a back ache for the last few d...

Hi there, just wanted to say that I also have suffered with folliculitis and also hidradenitis suppurativa (as well as standard cystic acne and also rosacea). Mine has been focused on my legs/inner th...

Day 22 - Gotta say, with makeup on to cover the red marks, I can pass as one of the non-acned right now. Also, makeup actually stays on my face now, all day long. I was shocked last night to see that ...

Wittysock, mine did the same thing! It's virtually gone now. It went down to almost nothing by the next day. So strange. And I have another one now by my inner eyebrow that's doing the same...last nig...

I'm either growing a horn or getting a huuuuuge cyst on my forehead. I have never had a cyst on my forehead before. Ouch. I had to photograph this one.
