DAY 27 IB seems to be subsiding finally, yay!  I am still getting little pimples here and there but the vast majority of my face (including The Great Blackhead Exodus) is clear!Â&nbs...

Hey @CNA7!    Thanks so much for reading the first log and for following along on this course!  I'm sorry to hear you're having to put your plans to have a baby on ...

DAY 11 Things are going pretty well right now.  Lips are still dry, scalp is in the phase where it seems to be adjusting to the reduction in oil - it's still a bit itchy but not as bad as ...

So glad to hear about your progress - I guess you probably don't remember in as much detail how your courses went when you were younger!  Accutane is definitely a roller coaster of good th...

DAY 7 Skin is definitely considerably more sensitive today than it has been in prior days.  I used my Clarisonic this morning in the shower and it hurt a bit - I was like, yep, maybe time ...

I think it's normal for your face to be a bit oilier in the very beginning of your course; as you noticed with the clogged pore being pushed out after chilling in your skin for a year (yay, btw!!), th...

If I may, I recommend the Noble Formula Zinc Bar - as you can see by clicking the link it's relatively inexpensive and lasts a while. Although it's pretty gentle, it *can* be somewhat drying, so I'd ...

Hey!  Since you were on antibiotics for so long, may I suggest adding a probiotic to the mix of supplements you're taking?  Antibiotics destroys the body's natural immune syste...

Hi!  Reading your log now... Did you ever try zinc for your SD?  I'm a member of Reddit's SCA (removed) forum (mostly I just lurk, not a big commenter), and quite a few commen...

17 hours ago, chicanery said: Hey, I really hope the second course sorts our your skin for once and for all :). Quick question - did your hair thin at all during your first course/after it? I'm...

DAY 5 Oh, hai!   On January 7th, I started my second round of accutane.  I will be documenting my progress throughout this second round, similar to how I documented...

Hey Kim, remember me? Are you still on here? How's your skin doing? I'm about to start Accutane 2.0, sooo I could be better. Hoping that your skin is still clear and amazing...I don't want to have...

Oh, hi!  Sooo it's been a year since I updated, and about two since I first began taking Accutane, and guess what?  I'm about to start a second course.  I act...

Sooo, my mini-course worked great - until early November. Then, all hell broke loose again. I broke out, not as bad as my July/August breakouts, but they were consistent - tons of tiny little bump...

So, I’m back. I know I slacked during my course, but life was busy – I had gotten promoted and my workload doubled. Add to that, I was feeling somewhat depressed because my boyfriend and I hit a rou...

Holy MOLY it's been a long time since I posted. All I have to say about that is, I'm an accountant, it's been year-end closing, and also, I recently found out I'm getting promoted, so I've been traini...

Just got caught up on your log and one thing stuck out - the chimney fire! Ahhh!! I'm so sorry that happened to you! Unfortunately, that happened to me last March, and I wasn't so lucky. I lived i...

I hear ya on the random scratches/cuts, especially on my hands. The skin there is so damn sensitive! I just try and keep them moisturized, which is kind of tough given it's cold/flu season and I was...

Don't get down about the scars. I'm sure after your course, those'll clear right up, too, even if you have to do the laser treatments! And maybe talk to your derm about trying a topical retinol - th...

Yaaay! So glad to hear your progress - I'm looking forward to totally clear skin!!

Day 62 I can't believe I'm in my third month already - crazy! Really not a whole lot of new stuff to report by way of symptoms or routine changes, other than being overall drier everywhere (body skin...

Day...54? SO...I spoke too soon. I raved and raved and raved about the Mario Badescu Moisture Magnet, and it seems like its magnetic powers finally wore off, because the skin on my cheeks/chin/aroun...

I hear you so much on the makeup thing! I put on my makeup in the morning and walk out of the house feeling pretty good about myself and life and as soon as I hit my face with the first splash of wat...

I hear ya on the IB. I was right there about a month ago! I'll keep my fingers crossed that it'll last the requisite week or so, everything will heal, and then you'll start clearing up to pre-acne l...
