Remember, you don't have to take Accutane if you don't want to. Just tell him you would rather avoid it and try other treatments instead.

13 days post-Roaccutane Just a quick update. Got a really bad headache the second day after finishing Roaccutane - withdrawal symptom? Nothing a simple dose of ibuprofen couldn't solve though. Side-e...

I think you just have to stick with it. I didn't see any improvement until the end of my third month - that's 12 weeks in!

Have you been applying moisturiser? if not, you may find that helps.

Am I right in thinking that Diane 35 is a form of birth control pill? Birth control pills can be really helpful for controlling acne, and it certainly cleared up my teenage acne when I was younger. So...

DAY 164 Aw, thank you guys. I appreciate your support so much! Hope you both had a lovely Christmas. Yes, I will try and come back regularly to let you all know how I'm doing in terms of maintenance...

DAY 156 Sorry for the delayed update. It's been a busy month! Had my latest appointment at the Roaccutane/Isotretinoin clinic last week. Since my last post I have had one small spot on my cheek, but i...

Good luck! And Merry Christmas - best wishes for the holidays!

First of all, I don't think your acne is quite severe enough to warrant accutane. Accutane works best for those with severe and scarring cystic acne. It's a serious medication and does have a lot of s...

This is so exciting!! Less than two weeks to go. I have about three weeks remaining I think. I'm super nervous about breaking out again, but I'm also excited about my skin starting to turn-over again ...

DAY 142 I decided to gradually reduce the dosage. It makes sense and should make it easier for the body to transition. I've had a couple of spots in the last week. One quite big one right next to my ...

DAY 127 Thanks guys. Hang in there, we're on the home straight!! Talking of which, do I just continue taking 60mg a day right up to the end and then stop, or do I gradually reduce the dosage (60mg a d...

If you're suffering from dry eyes, as well as using eye drops you may wish to purchase an eye mask. It's a moist heat mask that you heat in the microwave and then place over your eyes for ten minutes....

DAY 125 Thanks everyone. Needed that encouragement. Saw a friend recently who I hadn't seen in a good three months and she also said how much my skin had improved. Most people don't tend to notice, or...

END OF MONTH FOUR I have no active breakouts at the moment. Not one. But I do have alot of redness left over from old spots and it's fading incredibly slowly. So my skin is a bit blotchy, but it looks...

Should be about five months in total.

If it helps, I had my worst side effects at the two week mark on only 30mg a day. My skin was incredibly itchy and rather red. My lips got dry all of a sudden. My muscles around my ribs ached. But all...

That's awesome! I'm so happy for you! I've also found that my facial redness has improved recently. I still flush easily, but the redness doesn't last so long. In general, my skin just feels calmer,...

DAY 121 Hi guys, sorry for the delayed update. Life has been crazy busy recently!! I've now completed four months on Roaccutane/Isotretinion and am now starting my fifth and last month. I had my lates...

You can buy many moisturisers and serums which contain Hyaluronic Acid. The Ordinary make a dedicated hyaluronic acid serum that only costs £6. Many of the moisturisers I use contain this ingredient ...

It took me two weeks on 30mg to experience any of the side effects. At the end of week two they seemed quite bad, but then they calmed down a bit after.

Welcome to acne.org! Thanks for sharing your experience of Accutane. I'm currently on my fourth month of the stuff and it's going well so far. I found that the worst of the side-effects hit me towards...

DAY 103 Since following the treatment plan from the optician my eyes have been much better. Back to normal even. Now, I just need to put eye drops in once or twice a day which is fine. My lips are sti...

Thanks for coming back to the site and keeping us updated!
