I definitely do not agree with the statement that most of the people on here have tried the regimen and failed. I, for one, have been posting on this site for over 2 years and only started the regimen...

I'm only in my third week of the regimen so I can't really say much. I started clearing within the first few days of use and have continued to clear up though! A few days ago I was having awful dryne...

I would definitely try a retinoid before BP since retinoids are actually GOOD for your skin and antiaging. I would use it if I could, sadly it gives me hair loss BP is actually pro-aging because it i...

I highly recommend you try adding a dime size amount of aquaphor to your moisturizer in addition to the jojoba oil. It's a miracle for dry skin. It has completely eliminated my horribly dry skin and (...

2 Years Post Accutane Sad to report, but my acne has come back this spring. Still not in the full force that it once was (and my chest and back are still clear) but accutane was not a permanent solut...

WOW!!! So I have been doing this for the past 2 days: I apply the BP, wait 15 or 20 minutes and then apply my moisturizer with less than a dime size amount of aquaphor mixed in and 5-6 drops of jojoba...

I guess it depends on the ingredients of aquaphor as to whether it will react well with BP. Personally I would suggest that you don't interfere with the regimen instructions and just stick to whats r...

So I am in my third week of the regimen. I was clear for over 2 years after I did accutane but sadly this spring my acne has come back... and since the side effects were so bad (i had hair loss!) I'm ...

anyone?

I have been adding ascorbic acid powder (vitamin c) to my moisturizer every night for several months and the results have been great. I just ordered Dan's AHA lotion and was planning to do a mix of ha...

I know, I hate having to wear makeup in the sunlight too. I started thinking about this today because I'm going on vacation to Mexico in a month. I've started to look at it on the bright side though...

8 Months Post Accutane It has been forever since I have come on the site, but I feel I have an obligation to come back and give others hope. Acne.org really helped get me through my roughest period ...

ps. for other potential taners: I HIGHLY recommend seeking a longer but lower dose treatment. In retrospect, I think the rather high dose that my derm put me on definitely contributed to the side effe...

Ok well I am now 3 months and ten days post accutane.. so far so good with breakouts. I get a couple tiny ones here and there but no biggy.   Since I stopped using tazorac a couple of weeks ago ...

2 and a 1/2 months post accutane   I got a huge cyst on my cheek today... bigger than i ever really got before accutane. should i be concerned??!! very freaked out at the moment!!

2 MONTHS POST ACCUTANE   Just thought I'd come back and update about how I am doing. My skin has been more or less clear since I stopped, with an occasional tiny tiny pimple. Unfortunately, my re...

DAY 135 (approximately)   So today I took my last accutane pill. I stopped posting about a month ago because I was getting so fed up about not seeing very much progress. Things have definitely go...

DAY 104   wow i cant believe im in the triple digits. im now a ways into month 4. depressing considering my progress. things have not changed since the last post. im starting to really doubt whet...

DAY 88   Two days away from starting month 4... and things look awful. My skin is so inflamed, I have red scars everywhere that seem slightly dented and I still have breakouts on my face from mon...

inflamed. healing. inflamed. healing. inflamed. healing. inflamed. healing. inflamed. healing. inflamed. healing. inflamed. healing. inflamed. healing. inflamed. healing. inflamed. healing. inflamed. ...

DAY 76   Still nothing great to report. Still have actives and my hyperpigmentation (or really, erythema as that's what ive recently learned is the proper term) is as bad as ever. I also think im...

DAY 69   Woke up this morning to HORRIBLE inflammation and new breakouts Isn't the 3rd month supposed to be when the most improvement happens?!? What's going on?!

i'll leave you a comment. congrats on seeing progress! wooooo for that! i hope things only get better and better for you. Thanks!

Ducky- congrats on the progress! I hope you continue to see improvements, and I will be following your log. Hahah I just realized that we're both on day 65 today of accutane, so it'll be interesting ...

DAY 64   YAYYY PROGRESS! Things are definitely continuing to flatten out and I probably have fewer than 10 actives on my face right now --that is NOT a lot for me at all-- and they are all very s...
