Arghh I'm terrible, I never do anything to my hair except shampoo Well, occasionally, I use olive oil and it softens it... but that's it... I've never styled or highlighted or dyed or hairsprayed I ...

I used to have seb derm mildly, and I think it's coming back. I have Rosacea already, but lately I've been noticing more redness/splotchiness in my face. My skin is also incredibly oily and it flakes/...

The dark eyes and skin sensitivity is in part due to skin thinning, but that isn't the only reason. I know you had rosacea before you started tane, but i remember telling you not to take it (doesn't m...

Hi, guys.   I'm on a 10-month, 10mg daily course (I'm due to end in June). I've noticed throughout my course that my skin has gotten reaaally sensitive, which I guessed was due to the fact that A...

I'm sorry, Molly. =[ What anti-acne meds are you on? I have a hard time with moisturizers, too. Cerave is the only one that's worked for me.

I wish Accutane would have just killed the existing breakouts and not allowed new ones to form for you! I don't get all this initial breakout stuff when it's supposed to be shrinking the oil glands n...

Same here - I'm going through the Accutane IB, so my skin is looking less than ideal. x[ I hope things clear up soon for the both of us!

Mine started on Day 3 with minor clogged pores. I'm on Day 23 now, and I'm getting bigger pustules and some cysts.

Oh wow, a podcast sounds really cool. Your second-to-last sentence kind of ruined the deal, though.   Just wondering, are you using any maintenance treatment post-Tane?

I hope this change of products really helps your skin calm down, Molly!

I think peels might be too rough on your skin while you're on Accutane. Try keeping your skin moisturized, and start gently exfoliating (I hear the baby brush method is great) to keep the skin as flak...

I'm glad things are going well!

I wouldn't mind it doing that to my hair. xD

I hope your sunburn heals completely soon!! And I'm glad that you just have blackheads to really worry about now. I'm sure they're annoying, but I'm glad nothing's inflamed!

I've seen people do great on 10mg. I think I'm going to be on 30mg 3x a week (my doctor does that for most patients he has, and they do very well). Low dose Accutane is being looked into nowadays... h...

I'm experiencing something similar. I had a chemical peel on Wednesday and my forehead just won't peel - it's extremely dry and leathery. I dug a moisturizer out of my bathroom drawer and have been sl...

Thank you! I was SO happy to see such fabulous results Molly has achieved and hope you get to experience the feeling and peace of clear skin! It's funny that it's become so much a part of your life ...

lol "stay sane" for sure you will!!! Good luck and I just bet you will end up with beautiful skin and tell us alllllll about it! I know a few friends of my kids who went on Accutane while in high sch...

Aliciany, your skin might be oily again because the Accutane is pushing oil out of the pores. From what I've seen, Accutane IBs don't always happen at once. It seems a lot of people get breakouts and ...

lol thanks Molly XD

My face has been pretty awful, but I'm being prescribed Accutane on Wednesday so I'm happy. I'll still have to wait about a month before they'll give it to me, but that should take care of the acne &...

I can't believe your progress since the winter! And I'm sure things will only continue to improve as all the red marks continue to fade.

btw, ive been doing aha peels 70%, ipl, sra, and microdermabrasion since im on this theraphy. Wow, really? I would think that'd be too harsh for most people on Tane, so your skin must be super resil...

From what I've seen, yes - low doses of Accutane clear the skin very well. It may take a longer period of time to achieve remission, though.

tuggy, I think drinking lots of water would help ease the head aches. Head aches are usually caused by dehydration, I believe. Best of luck, everyone.
