You have to stop touching your face entirely. I cannot say that enough. I too live abroad, and recently went to NYC. I made an appointment at the Mario Badescu salon because I needed someone to tel...

um, no I haven't.I am in UAE and It's kinda difficult for me to get the regimen here . Really? Have you looked at the store brand equivalents?

This sucks, but unfortunately, Accutane doesn't work for everyone. Have you tried the regimen?

Maybe the picture doesn't capture the problem well, but your skin looks pretty good! Have you tried the acne.org regimen? A lot of people have had success with it.

It's human nature to want to figure out what we did to cause something bad to happen, but the truth is, we didn't cause our acne. Something we did might have exacerbated it, but we are not causing or ...

You will get a million different suggestions here and could spend the rest of your life trying them all out. Everyone's skin is different.   There are two things that work for almost everybod...

It's hard to find positive post-accutane reviews here because the people with success stories don't need to come to acne.org anymore. It works for most people, so don't get discouraged! I'm on Day 1...

I don't know about the low dose thing! I have seen people on here say they've been successful with low doses but I don't know for how long.   I saw somewhere to avoid contact sports. I haven't...

Wow! This is ridiculous! I can't imagine it's good for your body to be coming on and off Accutane.

I feel for ya girl. My dermatologist told me that a third of people need a second round, and after that, virtually everyone is cured. I wouldn't blame you for not wanting to go through all that again....

Why are you looking for a short term/low dose? From what I've seen, acne is way more likely to stay away long term with a higher dose and full six month term.   If you're looking for short term ...

I'm on day 13 now. My lips became noticably dry around day 7. Have your aquaphor ready! The tube version doesn't actually say aquaphor on it, but that's it. The tub says aquaphor and you could get tha...

Agreed! Make an appointment!

Minocycline made my acne a little worse for a few weeks but by the end of month one, I was clear and stayed that way until three months after I stopped mino. I did this twice! I agree though, if it'...

Minocycline worked for me, but I didn't want to stay on an antibiotic forever. The way I looked at it, (and fortunately, the way my derm looked at it, too) was that there's no point in keeping on wit...

I'm on Accutane, so my skin is dry for a different reason, not bp. The dryness is not extreme at all yet, as I'm only on day nine, but the moisturizer still absorbs very well. Are you waiting a little...

So the blackheads will be gone while we are on Accutane, but what about after we come off? Will we not get blackheads anymore? That sounds too good to be true.

Lookin' better already!

  It's approximately $3.67 for one tablet of 40mg, so approximately $115 per month. It depends on the insurance company; some doesn't cover it (like mine) or some will cover it slightly. &...

Extra virgin olive oil. It's cheap, it doesn't hurt your eyes so you can use it to effectively remove eye makeup and it can't clog your pores because the molecules in the oil are too big. Just massage...

I think supplements would be on an individual basis. You'd have to ask your derm!

Gah! You guys are scaring me! I'm on day 2 of 40 mgs at 140lbs. I hope the peeling doesn't happen to me! My derm is placing me on 100mg " to start". A 40mg in the morning and a 40+20mg at night...

Wow, $230 is very expensive. I just started Accutane yesterday, so obviously I haven't seen any results yet, but I've done so much research and I've never been so confident about something acne relat...
