Ok I decided to upload some pictures using my camera because I found my phone didn't do a very good job at showing the scarring. All of these pictures were taken at night. I'm hoping to ta...

So the lighting isn't great and the photos are blurry since they were taken on my phone so you can't really see the scarring. But what you can see is the redness. And the last two photos s...

Sorry I haven't been better about updating this regularly! I actually finished my fourth month and am just starting week 2 of my fifth month. For month four my dermatologist upped my dosage 10 mg (fro...

Update: I am now on day FOUR of my FOURTH MONTH on Accutane (Crazy I know, can't believe its going by this fast!), and I wanted to update how everything is going, including which side effects I'm cur...

Unrelated to Accutane, but thought I'd share this with you guys since I thought it was pretty cool and made me smile. I was reading an article Andy Warhol wrote, "On Beauty", where he wrote: "When I ...

Week 11 photo update: Definitely seeing progress!   Photos taken in natural lighting

Sorry I haven't updated this in a long time, I've been very busy! I promise to post some pictures of my progress in the next couple days!

Tomorrow will officially be the end of my fifth week on accutane! It's flying by pretty fast so far. Everything is basically the same since my previous update. So no new side effects. My skin is slow...

Meant to update this weekly but it's been pretty hectic! But I like staying busy while on this medicine, keeps me distracted from worrying about my skin too much and before I know it I'll be done with...

So here's some pictures of my skin now. Sorry the lighting isn't great. I was on my spring break when I uploaded the previous photos and I was at my parent's house, versus these were taken in the shit...

So I've just finished week two of accutane and am definitely starting to notice the side effects. Since I started the drug, I have not stopped breaking out. Usually I have ups and downs where I'll hav...

I know I updated yesterday, but today I REALLY started to notice the dryness of my lips. They started to peel like crazy. I work at a breakfast/brunch style restaurant and you can imagine how busy we ...

Felt like I should update this! So I've now been on accutane for a full week and have barely noticed I was even on it until today. Up until today I had not experienced any dry skin, but today my lips ...

This is pretty difficult for me to do as I rarely ever leave my house without makeup, but here are some extremely unflattering photos of my skin now. I officially started accutane yesterday so if I st...

Hello everyone! Just began accutane today and decided to document my journey for myself but also for those who want to learn more about the drug. Here's my backstory if you are interested (or just sk...

I've been on yaz for a month and while my skin isn't perfect I haven't had a cyst since I started taking it and am mostly concerned about my lingering red marks. I am also using topicals (see my signa...

So something interesting I've noticed is I think there is a connection between taking the pill late and acne. It seems that if I accidentally forget to take my pill and take it a few hours late I brea...

Second month is too soon for any pill to work on your skin (unless you're one if the very lucky few). Most people that I've talked to take anywhere from 4-6 months to see improvements. Just hang in th...

Hello everyone, My dermatologist just recently prescribed me the generic birth control for Yaz called Loryna. I am onto my second week of my second pack and I guess I'm just starting to feel a...

Hey, I'm in the same situation as you! My acne is pretty much under control with the medicine I've been prescribed to by my dermatologist, but I'm left with those awful red marks.   What I've be...

Thanks!!!
