Hi Lisa! So glad you are getting started! Even though I'm *only 30, I can relate to being an adult with persistent acne! It just plain SUCKS. It sucks for everyone but there's something about bein...

    DAY 36       Month 2 Week 6   Today will be my sixth dose of 60mg. The only new side effect I really have is that my eyes are more dry. Still wearing my contacts a...

Thanks, ladies. I think I'm going to stick with the Aveda for a week and test a couple of different shades of mineral powder. Thanks for your help! I'll be glad to find something that works for me,...

Hi Becca! Yay it looks like it gives great, natural coverage. Doesn't it just feel good on your skin? What shade did you get? I am 02 in Beechwood. Were you 01? Once the acne rests in peace, it will l...

Yeah the blackheads seems to get worse then better, then worse again. My pores are still quite visible too although not as bad as they were a few weeks ago. How are you coping with the dosage increase...

So I did some more makeup shopping last night and I purchased Aveda Inner Light Tinted Moisturizer and I'm wearing it today with some green correcting mineral powder and then regular mineral powder ov...

Alright, the verdict is in.... my iron is very low. My ferritin level (the protein that stores extra iron) was 6 ng/mL and the normal range is 13-150 ng/mL. So, I'll be starting an iron supplement a...

Hey Becca! Thanks for the list of products. I think I'm going to try your brand of fish oil since I don't think mine is helping enough. I'm also going to look into some of the moisturizers you use ...

Becca, The supplements you are taking what are they doing for you while on the medication? I was taking Fish Oil but then I read through drugs.com that it doesn't react well with Accutane so I stoppe...

PRODUCT UPDATE Still trying to get set on my products, but here's what I'm doing so far:   Face Care:   Morning   Rinse face with cool water Facial Moisturizer - MyChelle Daily Defense...

i relapsed because of my hormones, which is the main reason i ever got acne. going on (start of accutane) and off (at neurologists request) and back on (six months later at lady docs request) the pill...

I'm a few days behind you and today was the first day I noticed a decrease in blackheads on my nose! Pores still look crummy though.   Hope that cyst goes away soon!

Wishing you the best on your course! I'm just one month ahead of you. I'm still breaking out, but my skin is smoother and not as inflamed/congested. I just increased my dose from 40mg to 60mg for m...

I need to get my iron checked, and my b12 levels. I'm always low on iron. I take supplements for b12 because my body doesn't absorb it well. Last time they were considering injections and I haven't be...

With the rest of your supplements you should add in Biotin. Super cheap like 2.50 at Target for 150 pills and it makes me hair smooth and shiny and it healthy. It grows like a weed too! Hopefully that...

RECAP of MONTH 1     Week 1: Day 3: Eczema rash on hand Day 4-6: Rashes on lower back/hip/backs of legs Day 7: Oil on face greatly reduced Frequent headaches Mild dry eyes Mild constant sor...

Thanks, Rachel & Betsy! I'm glad others can see a difference. I hope I stop breaking out soon so that there is a lot of time for these red marks to heal!

I really like Everyday Minerals, but since they changed their formula, I'm trying their new Jojoba Base (no lauroyl lysine) and it's much better than the matte and semi-matte stuff since my skin is so...

Thai food was when I first noticed it. I also love me some cucumbers in vinegar water in the summer, but that really bugged my mouth too! Salt, spice, and anything acidic (even tomatoes have bothere...

Oh, thanks! Great to hear. I just went back and added my Day 1 photos too, for reference.   My skin is def smoother which I love. More redness, but that is normal I think.

Day 33 Month 2   I feel like I see progress until I take photos! I guess it is hard to tell from the pics though that:   A lot of these spots are red marks, not active bumps. My skin feels ...

Just got off the phone with them - not my dermo though another dermo in the office. He said "give it another day at 80mg because that's the right dose for your weight, if you still feel this way then...

Congratulations, Katie! You look great!! So happy for you. I'm ready to get to this point

Hi Becca, Thank you for your quick reply! They started me on 80mg - I just put a call into my dermo's office to ask them about all of this - I think they should had started me at a lower dose and wor...

I'm still playing with my Real Purity samples - love that I can try before I buy! Having a hard time as well figuring out my skin tone. Bummer to hear about the Jane Iredale Dream Tint. I read some re...
