Day 13: All of me is flaking off. I have dandruff for the first time in my life. My cysts are forming hard crusts (sorry, I just grossed myself out there) rather than coming to any semblance of a head...

YESS! Someday soon, we will all be Ryan Reynolds! ...or something. 🙂

Day 10- More tiny whiteheads. It's like every zit my face thought about having recently said "Hey guys, c'mon! It's now or never!" I'm bumpy and sore all over my face. The inner-nostril ones are the w...

Hi there! I'm nodding to everything you've tried. I can't even imagine the amount of money I have spent over the last 15 years on face washes, masks, failed prescriptions, derm visits, birth control,...

Jones4545, you called it. In the last two days, what smallish pimples I did have have now turned into full-blown, painful cysts....and I have about 8 of them at the moment. I guess this is the famous ...

Day 5: I'm actually seeing improvement, which seems weird. Cysts are drying up, blackheads are starting to fall out. The purpley-redness is becoming less red. My lips are also drying out, as are my n...

Hi all, I wanted to track my Accutane (Absorica) journey here. I'm 34 and have struggled with persistent, painful cystic acnes. I've tried literally every prescription and OTC drug to help, and the on...
