Update - Day 48, going into Week 8. Again, I'm doing 40mg once a day of isotretinoin (Claravis). The biggest annoyance by far is the dried lips. People stare at them in conversations, lol! I t...

You know I could probably say the same about where you live. You're awesome for being supportive! Sounds like you can handle the drug a little better or have more resilient skin than I do. What's c...

Day 39 (In week 6) - Skin is clearing up for the most part. I got a few tiny pimples, since my last post, that went away in a few days but AT LEAST they aren't big massive cysts like before I started...

Pictures: On my right side of my face you can see where I had my initial breakout. Totally sucks because those marks are just going to LINGER. Sorry my camera sucks super bad but it's all I got. ...

Day 25 (week 3.5) - Life has been far from normal ever since I started the isotretinoin treatment. My entire face is flaking more and more everyday. My face is peeling like when you get a mild sunb...

haha right on for the tip! Since you actually sleep with the thing, I'll take your advice and pick some up today. I totally agree with you because all the chapstick that I bought just doesn't moistu...

day 17 - I've been waking up with really chapped lips. I've been using jojoba oil on them but neither than nor chapstick has really helped. The pores on my nose are turning to black heads. No new p...

Glad to hear that you're doing well! 1 week down!

The cysts that I got injected are now virtually gone. I did get 2 new pimples on my right side. The right side of my face has been going to war. I've been using this wonderful moisturizer. I really...

Hey FairBeauty, Like you, I've done more than enough to try and treat acne. I sincerely hope everything works out for you and looking forward to seeing your results. Reading your post, I'm also a...

Day 12 - Had a few white heads over the past 2 days. I went running tonight and I noticed a few clogged pores pushed out the white head which would've potentially turned into a pimple. They were just...

For the 4 huge cysts that sprung up every since I started isotretinoin, I visited my derm to inject them. When I woke up this morning I was pretty happy to see that they are almost all flattened out....

So today marks my 9th day. My lips are feeling more and more dry every single day. I'm constantly using lip balm and an overnight lip treatment to try to combat the dryness. The breakout on my temp...

I agree with sasound. I'm on my first week of isotretinoin and my skin is already sensitive. Your skin will feel like its really badly sun burnt, if it already isn't if you use topicals that encourag...

Hey Grubby, I did antibiotics such as doxycycline and just recently did bactrim. The general time span to see results for antibiotics would be between 6-7 weeks minimum. If you don't see an improv...

I did the BP regime for about 2 years. The junk thing about bp or topical solutions is that they require maintenance after your clear and once you stop the regime the probability of your acne returni...

I broke out on Day 8 (friday) and it got really bad over the weekend I had to use my vacation and take the week off. It didn't go away until Day 17. I am only on Day 19 now but i can finally go back t...

I think you are now officially introduced to the world of accutane! Yup - pimples will come to a head super fast though healing may take some time. Dry lips are also very common as is dry skin so in...

Today would be day 6. So far everything is going great. I notice that my lips are starting to get really dry but the chapstick overnight lip treatment was been wonderful. I did have an insane heada...

Hi everyone, I recently started my Claravis, Isotretinoin, treatment on 9/23/2012 and today I'll be taking my 5th pill. The dosage I'm currently on is 40mg once a day. A little bit about me: I...
