Hi all, 1 month, 6 days post Accutane and still completely clear! The Tretinoin cream is really helping with the scarring. I noticed my complexion is starting to look overall brighter and have less ...

Absorica worked amazing for me (check out my log). Can't wait to see your results!

Hi all, A quick update! I went to the dermatologist for my latest appointment and she told I was done Accutane. I thought I had a little time left...but guess not! So high 5! I made it. To transiti...

Hi all, *waves*! Today's update is Day 153, can't believe it's been this long already! When I cut my Accutane dosage from 2 to 1 pills a day from my last post, I got a few small zits and started to w...

Hi all, Here's a update! I went and got my blood taken 2 days ago to start my 5th month. I told my dermatologist about my lower back pain and she said that was a pretty common side effect. She asked i...

Wow this treatment has worked wonders for you minus the joint pain! I've read endless amounts of blogs to which some are very scary but reading yours has helped. I'm now 30 and I think it's a common a...

Hi all, Wanted to post a quick update! Thanks for your positive vibes! In a few days I'll be starting Month 4 - can't believe how time has flown by! I just got the blood work done a few days ago an...

Good luck girl! I'm 3 months in and couldn't be happier with the progress! This is a supportive community so we're here to help each other!

Hi guys, Wanted to post a short update. Today is 77 and it's the most weird, greatest feeling.... I have no active spots! The last few weeks I've had a couple here or there but right now I have none!...

I didn't change my diet at all and I love pizza. Accutane is working great for me.

Fantastic progress mama! Your attitude has been wonderful through your entire course. I was thinking of trying Spiro, what's your take on it? Did you get an initial breakout? Side Effects? Did it...

Thanks for posting this! I'm on Month 3 right now but what happens when I go off it is always concerning, especially a few months or more down the road.

Thank you guys! @july22104 I can totally relate to what you're going through! Good luck and let me know if you have any questions!

Starting my 3rd month, today is Day 61. Getting my pills was no problem this month (unlike last month). Target didn't have them in stock so I had to wait a day but I'll live with that. I'm still ta...

Another bonus: When traveling I usually packed a whole bag full of acne products from lotions to spot treatments to gels. I just had to travel and I had 3 little bottles (cleanser, moisturizer, cream...

A positive being on Accutane during the Summer is your hair is so dry it never gets oily. I can sweat all day long and go days without washing it and yet my hair looks fresh all the time.

CatMama, I see results already! Thats great!! Thank you! Also a note to myself: Never leave home without some type of lip balm! I had a long unexpected day running errands and when changing my bag...

I keep looking at your pictures and I can't believe it's only been day 37. Seems like you've only been improving without a worsening of the acne which is the case for most people. Many get things "pus...

Thanks ladies! <3

Day 37. I wanted to update on some pictures to see (hey, I got new hair too). Inside nose still extremely dry. Dry lips. Today when I woke up they were sealed together and I had to apply force to pul...

Hey girl, I'm so sorry to hear that you had to jump through so many hoops to get your medication. This is a bit unrelated, but I thought I'd get on Accutane this Monday as I've already given blood and...

Month 2 begins today!   Gosh what a journey it's been getting my 2nd month prescription.   So I went last Friday to my dermatologist and got the blood tests done. I didn't pass out - yay!...

What kind of a tinted moisturizer are you using? You look fantastic Thank you! I'm using Tarte BB Tinted Cream. It's one of my fav products... ever!

Day 20. Surprisingly doing well. Last week I hardly had any new spots until the end of the week then 3 cysts popped up on my right higher cheek. These ones are recovering now. I was feeling good with...

We're still reading! Nice to hear a update from you. Good luck with those scars.. sending you virtual good luck! I'm on Day 10 here so I like to read yours to know what's possibly in store for me...
