Day 150 It's been awhile since I've updated. It's been probably been a little over a month and I've been on 60 mg. Since I'm taking absorbica, my dermtaologist perscribed me two 30mg a day so I've be...

Day 102 quick update. I noticed I got a little breakout. Not bad, but a little more than I typically have been getting. I know the medicine is working though because they aren't big nor all over my f...

Day 57 Quick update. It's been awhile, but everything is going pretty well. Only side effect really are dry lips, but I've always had dry lips so it doesn't really bother me. I just apply either this ...

Day 39 Quick update. No major side effects. My skin isn't really flaky, or really dry now it's just normal. I still mositurize anyway. No aches or pain. I even started going back to the gym, went thre...

Day 34 So it's been a little over a month I've been on accutane! I can't believe I was so against taking this for years, and a month has literally flew by. So far I've had no complaints. Besides the i...

Day 27 The fish oil is a miracle vitamin! I couldn't believe how I bounced back up this morning, especially the pain I was in yesterday and Saturday. Don't get me wrong I'm still pretty sore and if I ...

Day 26 Not much to report skin wise. Lips are dry and face is dry..my body is dry too, but as long as I mositurize I'm good. I noticed my skin has been getting lighter, but I think it's just the dark...

Day 20 It felt soooo great to be at work , and I didn't have to pat down my face because it was oily. I did it once out of habit, but my skin was normal for once. Idk how long normal is going to last,...

Day 19 My skin has finally dried up! I noticed on Saturday my skin wasn't oily, and that my skin and lips were drier. It wasn't severly dry or flaky, but my face hasn't looked like it's covered in gre...

Day 16 Technically day 16 was Jan 1st, but anyway my pimples I had a couple of days ago, have either went away, or dried up due to the cortisone shots and extraction. I do have two cysts on my forehea...

What type of oils are you putting on your scalp? Those oils may not be getting absorbed on your scalp but rather migrating to your face. I plan to use coconut oil on my scalp. I have not used anything...

Day 6 Nothing major really to report, no dry skin or flakiness yet. Skin is still pretty oily. Does anyone know when to expect dryness on 20mg? Even though I haven't experienced that side effect yet...

^^^yeah I def agree. Even before accutane I avoided mirrors. Especially when I have a bad breakout I try my best to avoid them, because what's the point agonizing over it and causing stress and causin...

Hey I'm also on 20mg. It's only my 4th day so I probably won't be much help in that sense. But I hear you. I would like to stay on a low dosage so I don't get the side effects so aggressively just yet...
