I think Accutane's 95% success rate is based on a kg:mg ratio. So if you're on less, you're going to have a lesser chance of success. We're exactly the same weight. I'm on 40mg the first month, going ...

I'm not on birth control but I'm using condoms and I have infertility issues.   Many doctors say abstinence is sufficient. I think if you're a teenager they don't believe you and take a chance,...

I was out in the sun all day a few weeks ago and bought this sunscreen. See photo. I was so unhappy with it because it wouldn't rub in!   However, that evening, I came home and read the acne.org...

It's important to take Accutane with a fatty meal (at least 20mg). I'm a vegetarian, but absorbing as much of the drug as possible is very important to me. I counted up the fat in a lot of the meals ...

  after Accutane it would be fine though? its really important to him Yes, his skin should absolutely be fine for boxing after Accutane! Some say their skin stayed dry, but it's being on the ...

I, like you, blamed myself for my acne, even if only subconsciously. I thought, in the back of my mind, that when I get my life together, exercise more, eat better, my acne would just go away. So, i...

Wow! 80mgs is a high start! I'm on 40mg (I'm 63kg) and I'm going up to 60kg for month two with the expectation of being on 80mg in a few months. What do you weigh, if you don't mind me asking?   ...

I took two rounds of minocycline for three months each time. My acne cleared up beautifully and stayed away for 3 months afterwards, so I got about 5 months of clearance each time. Some people get lon...

The higher the dosage, the better chance you have of it working long term. If you're doing it at all, go in, go hard and get it over with.

They say it's the accumulation of the drug in your system, so it's not a wasted month. I don't think the effort of trying to find somewhere else would be worth the stress. Maybe try and hurry the proc...

Usually Accutane is 1mg per kg. I weigh 63kgs. For my first month I'm on 40mg but I'm moving up to 60mg for month two and I'll be on 80mg later in my course.   So, you see why were saying you wo...

I'm on Accutane, and I figure I may as well use this time to go through all my skincare products and make sure they are non comedogenic. I want to give my skin a fighting chance after all this is said...

Dry skin doesn't happen to everyone. I'm 20 days into 40mg at 63kg and the acne.org moisturizer has been able to keep it at bay just fine! Also, I think makeup artists are supposed to be able to work ...

Dan is pretty clear about this one. He says not to wash your face more than twice a day because it will cause irritation. Even if you exercise, he just suggests that you pat your face dry and keep g...

I'm just using a damp cloth to get rid of flakes, moisturizing with acne.org moisturizer + jojoba occasionaly, a light concealer stick, and then Pur Minerals foundation. It gets great coverage, is no...

I don't see how makeup could ever make scarring worse! The wrong type of makeup may clog your pores and cause more acne, but not have any negative effect on scarring.   I use a small amount o...

I've been using Pur Minerals for years. I've never tried any other mineral makeup, and honestly I can't imagine how it could possibly get any better than Pur Minerals. The coverage is amazing and yo...

Okay, so I realize that this is an old post, but I love it! I want to hear what more of you guys are doing or planning to do post/accutane, especially if you're already done and found a routine that ...

whats been your dose thus far fudge? 40mg this month (my first month) and I'm supposed to be going to 60 for next month.

10mg is a very low dose. I think you're safe to wait quite a while.

I like Aquaphor and John Masters Organics Lip Calm.

any side effects? x   I have dry lips and my skin is really itchy and a bit dry. I got one sore joint on a couple of occasions. So far, it's been limited to one joint at a time. Haha!

  It sounds like your acne has reduced your quality of life significantly. I have mild, but persistent acne and I'm on my first month of Accutane. For me, I hit the age of 26 and the cystic acn...

I'm 63 kg and I'm on my first month, so I can't give it much of a review. I'll be going to 60 mg next month so it's not much a low dose either.
