You are doing great so far! I know you must be bummed about the cyst but hopefully it won't last as long as usual with the accutane to help speed up the healing. One thing that worked wonders for the ...

Day 15   Things are going pretty well. My chin has 2 actives now and they seem to be getting smaller pretty quickly. No other actives! ) my skin stays matte all day. There is no oily shine anymo...

Day 11   Hey Tracy521, nothing helps the redness. Moisturizer helps with the peeling but I am accepting the fact that my face will just look red and sunburned for a while unless I feel like cove...

You should probably call your doctor and ask them what you should do. Good luck!
