Hi fl0rallz i am also on 20 mg/day and weigh around 50 kg, so very similar to you! Sorry to hear about your scarring - I have a lot of hyper pigmentation too, but my derm told me that laser treatment ...

Hi eliselouise Sorry to hear that you are breaking out again - I know how discouraging that feels.. My skin has had its ups and downs as well; one day I think it has really improved and then a few da...

Hi fadedjay Wanted to wish you good luck:) I'm also on my second round of isotretinoin, but this time I'm doing a low dose of 20 mg/day. Hope second time is lucky for all of us!

CsaCsa, your skin has improved so much! Congrats on the progress

Hi paigems Just wanted to say that I'm happy to hear that you are doing well and not bothered to much with the side effects, even on such a high dose! Keep up the good vibes

Good luck KWRHL!

Crossing my fingers for you

Hi aiadia I am also a 25 year old woman on a low dose of 20 mg/day. Oh, and I also live in a cold climate (Scandinavia). Just wanted to let you know that I can really relate to your situation. Not jus...

Hi jmd1568 I am on my second course of Accutane and just wanted to recommend the moisturizer I've been using during both courses. For everyday I use the 'Avene Hydrance Optimale Light Protective UV...

Hi Lalaland24 I'm sorry to hear that your acne is coming back! I know how terribly frustrating that is - I experienced somewhat the same after my first course of Accutane last year. I was clear for a...

Hi MutualCore I can't answer your question on Cetaphil (I'm from Denmark and have never heard of it), but in general I think it is a good idea to use a moisturizer that is meant for your face - Think...

Hi damian96r Just wanted to let you know I can really relate to both your frustration and the vision-thing. I am currently on my second course of Accutane, and especially during my first course (last...

I experienced the same thing with one side of the face at a time being affected by Accutane! During both my courses, first my forehead broke out and calmed down, then the same for the right side of my...

SenorScarber, you look great! Really loving your positive posts Did you manage to convince anyone you have Ebola?

Yeah, I agree with not exercising too much, or at least changing the way you exercise, even though it sucks. I used to work out at least 5 days a week before my first course of accutane, but had to cu...

Im starting to get that famous flushed accutane face too, especially after applying moisturizer i look like a tomato. Which is a bit weird, since my skin isn't actually dry.. Hm.. About the laser tre...

EliseLouise, your skin looks so good!! Don't think your scarring look bad at all! I have much worse hyper pigmentation that I would also like to get rid of at some point, and after my last course my ...

I'm on my second month of low dose too (20 mg/day) and I was really really sore to begin with. I still am, but it's starting to get better

During my first course my blackheads never popped out and they haven't this time either. The texture of my skin did change though: During most of the course it was kind of rough and my pores seemed en...

  I was on Accutane a year ago for about 5 months - think it was 20 mg/day for the first month or 2 and then 40 mg/day for the remaining 3 or 4 months, so don't know what my exact cumulative do...

I know how you feel - not seeing the results you are hoping for, really is so disappointing. I'm currently on my second month and already feeling super impatient. After my first course i was basically...

Glad you are doing well Also think you are doing the right thing by looking for a new derm - at least to get a second opinion. I am crossing my fingers that this time accutane will work for good, but...

Hi Naomiskin Just wanted to let you know that I can SO relate to your feelings about acne - it really can take over a person's life. I feel exactly like you. My skin is literally the first thing I th...

Welcome aboard John19 I'm on 20 mg/day as well for about a month and a half now. I'm 25 years old and weigh around 50 kg (believe that is around 110 lbs?) This is my second course of accutane and wou...
