  Hi there, I have been taking accutane (asorica brand, month 1 40mgs/day month 2 50mgs/day) for 1 month and 3 weeks. I began to notice some blurred vision in my right eye a few weeks ago...

From personal experience low doses of Accutane can work wonders, I think the high doses for 4-5 months that a dermatologist would advise are to try and eliminate peoples acne for good in one hit which...

I think that is pretty clearly encapsulated in "everything from the conventional to the hippie-dippie to the borderline insane." I'm glad the basic stuff works for you though...if only! I actually de...

Hi guys! As you can see in my blog, I took 40mg/day accutane for 4 weeks and 5 days of accutane at 60mgs/day. I developed pretty severe superficial punctate keratitis (basically eye ecxcema...ouch) a...

Sorry to take so long to respond! I use tretonin .05% (brand I use is Atralin) but other examples of good ones are retin-a micro and tazorac. Tazorac is a bit stronger than .05% tretonin so I am going...

aha. I can see from the pictures you are having inflamatory acne when i thought from the description is was just clogged pores. BP will help with that! good luck, your skin is already looking much bet...

i totally understand dude. i developed an eating disorder from avoiding foods that i imagined caused acne. what happens is, when you eat a food you think will break you out, you get anxious about it a...

good luck! tea tree oil is the best. splashing with some sea salt (esp dead sea salt) dissolved in water can also be good for the skin if you are trying to minimise chemicals (ever notice how nice you...

hey, at least you know that there is something out there that works for you! there have been supply issues with benzoyl peroxide in the uk and ireland but duac is still available in america and elsewh...

BP eliminates acne bacteria, but you are having comedonal acne (blackheads/clogged pores) not inflammatory acne caused by too much acne bacteria. the other posters are right about a glycolic acid/saly...

thanks! anyone else?

Hi Jake, Your post made me so sad! I feel for you. My advice is: don't bother with antibiotics, even if they work temporarily they do nothing long-term, which is kind of the point. I've taken them a...

stick to 20. its about cumulative dose and how long you take it, not the amount you take per dose, and studies have shown results with as little as 5mg/day for 6-8 months! i started at 40 and had to s...

I am considering a switch from .05 tretonin (atralin) to tazorac and wondering if anyone has done this and what your experience was. Atralin was a godsend for me and worked amazingly well for about a ...

  Well.. What I have been doing is keeping a log on a daily basis ever since the middle of last year or so with not only every single foods I ate, but with how my body feels and reacts to ...

  Sure, if only to reassure those like me who were not cured by diet. I do think that maintaining a healthy diet is vitally important to overall health and skin health, and if you're downing ca...

thanks everyone for your replies. unfortunately i've gone hardcore hippie on my acne before and found it useless, expensive and psychologically damaging to me...not saying natural remedies don't work ...

Hi, looking for any hope anyone has to offer...I had to go off accutane after 6 weeks due to eye problems, just when it was beginning to work. I spent so long making the decision to go on it and was...

What pill are you on? Have you switched recently? That can make a huge difference. When I switched from Ortho to some random generic I broke out a ton, then on Yasmin my skin was amazing until I went ...

Hi Kay, I know how you feel. I definitely let acne take over my life for a while there, and I regret having lost that time. Here are some of the things that helped me: -When my breakouts were at th...

The active ingredient in Differin is adapalene--it's related to retinol, but retinol is definitely not as strong--mostly good for vague anti-aging. Lucky for you, they just released a generic version ...

GUYS I JUST FOUND SOMETHING AWESOME So, Cerave or Cetaphil cream is a must if you are on accutane or having serious dry skin from the regimen or retinoids, but it is super unsanitary and gross to use...
