I use Differin and it definitely decreases oil proudction for me. When I'm not on anything for my acne my face is like an oil slick.

Pretty mixed. On my 7th week of differin and woke up with 1 small papule and 2 tiny whiteheads after being 100% clear for over a week. I am obviously upset but I feel guilty for being upset for 2 rea...

I *think* it was because it's supposed to take 3 complete cycles for birth control to be most effective, but not sure I was too excited to be back on accutane to listen properly lol

On my first derm appointment I got a blood test and put on birth control. Then it was 3 months from then til I actually started accutane. Yes you will have to be on birth control either way, my first ...

Hi there. I am just about to finish my sixth week of it! I started with 53 closed comedones and within 2 weeks about half became inflamed and some just disappeared, not sure if this was my initial b...

I'm the same! My redness looks way better, barely have to wear any make up and just over all look heathier. I have stubborn anaemia so having a fake tan helps my sickly paleness too.

Thanks so much guys!

How long have you been on it? It can definitely increase the clogged pores before they get better and start to reduce. I'm on 0.1% and after 2 weeks I had way more clogged pores that my face looked s...

Hi guys   I'm now at the point were I am thinking of adding the AHA to my routine as I bought it on a whim and have never used it yet and I'm not sure were to fit it into my regimen or if I sho...

My IB was really weak (so far!! Still expecting more purging to happen) so I am thankful for that but on the acne I got/get I find, personally, incorparating benzoyl peroxide in the morning helps clea...

Hello It's already been said but it's so true it really does feel like you are so alone sometimes battling this. But know you're not alone and we're all here for the same reason. I'm the same as yo...

Hi My comedonal acne started after my second accutane course which was CRAP to say the least. And I was given Differin and like you, was absolutely terrified of starting it. The initial breakout sc...

Hiya I had the same thing happen to me after my 2 courses, I was on high doses as well. It's really upsetting at first as you hear so many success stories and go through so many side effects for NOTHI...

I bought the starter kit and the AHA with express shipping last month and it came to £65 and I recieved it in 5 days. Although the exchange rate flucuates a lot so if you buy same products it might be...

I would definitely start moisturising it won't do any harm! Over the course there are some side effects, which can be different for people. I, personally, experienced dry skin, chapped lips and lethar...

Bad but not as bad as I usually get with breakouts. It's small and localised that I am greatful for. But still. I just wish for a week without a breakout. Like I feel it's not even that much of a big ...

If you're still interested in trying salicyclic products as well I know Superdrug does their own brand called 'Deep Action Anti Blemish' its in a blue box and its only around £3 if I remember correctl...

I can sometimes let my acne affect my realtionship in that sometimes I am withdrawn because I think I am "not good enough" for my fiance. But there are millions of girls out there with clear skin but ...

Great attitude and amazing post! I have started to come round to this thiking after sulking and hiding behind my hair for 12 years. I know I will finally beat this one way or another but right now I ...

Hiya,   Please tell your dermatologist when you go to your appointment. It's not 100% certain it will make things worse. I have depression and anxiety and it made mine no worse at all. But there...

Lymecycline worked really fast for me but the results didnt last long but if youre getting your accutane then you may not need to worry about that haha! Congrats on getting what you want and good luck...

Agree with dumbfairy! A good moisturiser and primer and spray will definitely keep your skin from drying up and looking flakey when wearing foundation, even after you finish accutane. I would recommen...

Freaked out cause I have't had a new bump in 4 days. This must be the calm before the storm. Funny how I worry more when I have no actives than when I have a few...

Yeah I found I had to try every single thing going before I was put forward for accutane! It doesnt matter if it isn't severe. If you have had acne for years and you've tried antibiotics, birth contro...

I haven't done Retin-A but I am on Differin and have been on accutane before. For me personally, the accutane had a way worse initial breakout. I would give the retinoid a fair chance before thinking ...
