Took some expired (6 months) Accutane that I still had lying around because I couldn't take it anymore. My skin was just .. ugh. I immediately regretted it because it obviously isn't the best idea to ...

My GP has given me a prescription for tretinoin cream (0.02% I believe). I've been using it everyday now for about a week or 2, but I haven't noticed much improvement yet in the areas I wanted it to. ...

Hi!! Just wanted to wish you good luck! I was also on Yaz for a couple of years, which kind of helped but they also caused a couple of weird side effects. When I got off, my acne got really bad. I to...

So months after I stopped taking accutane (I never finished the course), I'm starting to develop a teeny tiny bit of acne again. It's not nearly as bad as it once was, but I'm pretty bothered by it. I...

Hey chicanery!!  As we both started on Accutane at the same time I always keep track of your updates and progress. Im glad to hear Accutane cleared your skin, after all that was what we wa...

update 10/1/16 After an entire summer of not taking accutane, this is how my skin looks.  I quit because I felt my skin  looked good enough, and my hair became too dry.Â&...

Wow chicanery your skin looks great!!  Sorry you had a few breakouts along the way though, I know that can be a real set back.  At first I had no idea how a drug like this co...

update May 13th  Hi everyone! I havent posted anything for quite a while, so I wanted to give you an update on how my skin is doing!  First of all, I take an extremely low dose...

Haha I know right? And the best thing is that I can use any kind of daycream right now, even the ones that broke me out before this. I keep getting one or two spots, but definitely not the big cluster...

Thanks! 😀

Good to hear the oil is diminishing! But it sucks to get bad breakouts.  Im not really having breakouts that are unusual, Just zits in places where they always tend to show up, cheeks m...

Day 14 skin is starting to look better. Everyday, I can use less and less make up to cover up the redness because there arent as many active zits and clogged pores. I hope the red marks...

so I counted the pills I've taken so far and it is day 12 now xD I guess I got a little mixed up about it a few days ago. It does show how powerful this drug is, it hasnt even been two weeks. ...

shadylee: Thanks for dropping by!  It really breaks my heart to hear what youve been through but at the same time it also feels good to know im not alone.. I have only used the st...

chicanery: my pre-accutane skin was kind of dry and oily at the same time mostly dry though, especially compared to what ive seen with most people with acne. My forehead was definitely oily, be...

This must be day 14... I can't check for you guys right now cause I don't have the pack near me. In case it wasnt clear, I count only the days on which I take accutane.  ...

Hi Exning! I'll go ahead and ask my family dr about it, she might be better educated on the subject, who knows. Anyway my derm said that if I take a pill every other day instead of every d...

thanks Andrei! Yea I don't know if thats really how it's supposed to go down either  but if she says it's ok.. day 10 sadly enough I had a few new bumps on my face. Keep thinking it'...

day 8 woke up and my eyes, hair and scalp are sooo dry.. I'm gonna skip a few days and see if that has a positive effect on it all.

day 7 fml. Everything was going real great until I had to ruin it all again as always. I had two whiteheads on my left cheek this morning, and one bump on my chin, they weren't even that big... But...

Day 6 My skin, like everything, feels a bit dry. Been moisturizing a lot. I havent had any new pimples, apart from two very tiny whiteheads that were there because I've been picking the surround...

Day 4 I just took the fourth pill. I woke up and my eyes felt quite dry, but not too bad. At least they didn't look bloodshot or anything. Woke up with a very dry mouth as well, the lips are fi...
