UPDATE!!!! One year on... Hello so I have decided to post a few photos of my skin as it has been a year since I took my last dose of Roaccutane... I have been very lucky with my skin in the past 12 ...

Hey, thanks for sharing your story on the boards. 23 is a perfect age (in my opinion) to start Accutane, I was almost 23 when I started my five-month course, I think it's way easier to deal with once ...

Also, just because I love products and maybe other people reading this do too, since stopping Roaccutane I've been using 'Nuxe' skincare which you can buy here and also in big Marks & Spencers... ...

One month on... (last post) No spots beautiful clear skin. Good luck to everyone - you won't believe yourself when you look back at old photos pre-Roaccutane xxx

5 MONTHS Guys, I'm done. Well, to be completely honest I had three days' worth of pills left, but I had a hangover from hell yesterday so I couldn't bring myself to take any more. We've been in the...

Thanks! I'm not too bothered really, I've kind of got used to my new dry way of life haha. It's not like I'm going on holiday (or anywhere remotely sunny, let's be honest) until right at the end of th...

End of month 4 'kay, so, went back to see Dr. Dermatology on Thursday, he had a tentative look at my face and we agreed I need another month of Roaccutane to really get my face clear. It's not quite ...

Well, this is it. One week to go. I'd love to tell you my skin is looking perfect. It's actually taken a turn for the worse in the past fortnight, due to a very, very heavy period (14 days of bleedin...

Good grief your skin now looks like it never saw so much as a blackhead in its entirely existence! Amazinnnng! I am nearing the end of my Roaccutane course and I have a lot of red pigmentation so it'...

Apologies for the creepy photo, but my skin continues to improve and I am so pleased with the results I am getting so far in my course of treatment! There are a few pink marks here and there, and s...

Do you have a mac or a pc? I think in either case you can just open a photo in paint/pages and then draw over your eyes or whatever... or just do a screenshot not including your eyes.

Hoooraaaay well done you now you can enjoy the bank holiday and the whole summer without having to worry about skin problems. Thanks for keeping your log, it's been great to read along with your prog...

Thanks - I'm only glad that my progress log may offer anyone hope that it's a fairly straight-forward process in the vast majority of cases. I know when I was about to start treatment, I scared myself...

End of Month 3 So here we are, some cheek shots of end of month 3... I am 3/4 of the way there now! Woohoo! One more month to go!

How's it going Charlotte?

Heyyy Dan. I feel like the Brits are fully invading these forums, mwahaha. What we do best, apparently... The bit I was most unable to deal with -- and what ultimately made me decide to start the tr...

That's interesting you're 14 and they still made you take a pregnancy test. I remember my friend took Roaccutane when she was the same age as you but they didn't make her take a test, her Mum would've...

End of Month 3 (-2 days) So I think I have turned a corner in my treatment. My face has never been more red, sore, sensitive, itchy or flaky in my whole life - but it's also never been clearer since...

Does alcohol interfere with it working? Crap, I've been carrying on as normal... okay I don't drink much anyway (in the last weekend I had two pints of lager on Thursday evening and one small glass of...

Don't worry Charlotte I'm the same, I'm done in mid-June and I'm still breaking out. I think it basically happens until the last couple of weeks, maybe someone else can confirm that? You'll really sta...

How come you're finishing so soon? Would you have reaches the min amount to take for your weight? I have at least another 2 months on it my Derm said. My back acne is being so stubborn and not improvi...

Oh good grief please don't let your feet get to the stage where they'll need amputation!! You'll get used to 60mg don't worry. Pleased you're progressing though, my lips are a mess at the moment, what...

Oh good grief please don't let your feet get to the stage where they'll need amputation!! You'll get used to 60mg don't worry. Pleased you're progressing though, my lips are a mess at the moment, wha...

Hey dude, you're in the right place for support! Everyone here knows exactly what you're going through, and we are also here to remind you - it gets better! Tyrean is right, if you keep busy and pushi...

it looks like it's going quite well for you. I'm having to go private as well and i'll be starting Accutane on May 14th. Would you say your acne was Mild/Moderate when you started and how has it progr...
