Hi! I am about to take my second round of bloodwork on Monday, first since I started the 60mg! So curious to see how the #s have changed (if at all!). If I may, let me recommend the Mario Badescu M...

I gotta agree with you - my experience has been sooo uneventful, too! I don't feel like my side effects have interfered with my life at all, really...nothing to really bat an eyelash at, and nothing ...

Day 45 Same routine/products used, still absolutely LOVING the Mario Badescu Moisture Magnet. My skin feels pretty perfect with it on, very hydrated and, dare I say it, SILKY! Not too much of a cha...

I think the higher the dose you have, the faster everything progresses overall, at least that seems to be the trend based on what I'm reading. So, maybe the clogs etc will take longer to come out bec...

Yay, I'm so glad I found your log! I love reading your posts, you crack me up and your title is great! I am so happy to have your journey to follow because it's been crazy weird how parallel we are wi...

@Kim28, still loving the Estee Lauder Double Wear! I highly recommend it for the flaky days...for the non-flaky days, the Mat Velvet + is perfect! Day 36 I'm about 6 days in on the 60mg. No majo...

Hey emmygirl...just noticed in your signature that you're taking a Vitamin D supplement. While I'm normally not one to advise anyone against taking any supplements, I have read in numerous places tha...

How's it going, Kim?

Hey megtree!! I agree with another poster - your skin is gorgeous!! Just imagine how beautiful it's going to be once you're all clear - only a few months of this craziness and that'll be it   I...

Hey lady!! Just read your whole log - so happy you started!!! I subscribed of course...looking forward to seeing how you progress!! Best of luck

Hiiiiiii everyone and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Long ass post warning... Holy crap...can't believe I'm almost a month in. I had my bloodwork done on the 26th and derm appt on the 30th, and he up...

Day 19 Side effects are pretty much the same, although they're either intensifying, decreasing, or I'm just getting used to them. Headaches seem to be decreasing, dry lips seem to be getting slight...

Anyone else think Napoleon Dynamite might have been an accutane user? "...but my lips hurt real bad!!"

Luckers8 - I was stressing over a lot of it too in the beginning but I honestly think I stressed so much about it all that now that I'm doing it, it feels like nothing? Haha!! Almost like I made it ...

Day 12 Side effects: Dry, flaky skin (flakes on face only; dry skin everywhere) Dry lips (they feel like they're shriveling up unless I keep Aquaphor or ChapStick on them 24/7) Dry eyes (they feel li...

Yaaaay! So glad to hear your skin is making progress Just hang in there! It will probably still be a bit of a roller-coaster ride for the next month or so (from what I've read on others' logs, any...

Hi! Just found your blog - it'll be interesting to see how the low dose treats you, seems to be treating you pretty well as of now! I'm on 40mg/day for now, will probably bump up to 60mg/day next mo...

Yaaay for improvement!! I think weeks 3-4 are supposed to be pretty gnarly on Accutane so just wait it out and I'm sure it'll get better from here on out. In any event, I'll be following your log to...

I'm with you - I'm not skipping foundation, or makeup at all, to be frank. If your skin can tolerate it, you're good. You know your skin better than anyone else. What products are you using? I ca...

Today is my Day 8, so sounds like you and I are only one day apart on our start dates!!! I hope my doc bumps me up to 60mg next month; I'm curious to see how you do on 80mg. Thanks for your comment ...

Day 5 I haven't taken my 5th dose yet today; I'll probably take it during lunch. Side effects: Slightly drier lips Slightly drier eyes Facial skin is starting to flake all over and hurts to the tou...

Hahaha @ megtree - I seriously don't mind!!! BUT I still think you should def do a log if for no other reason than I can follow along with your progress!! Hopefully emmygirl is going to do one too! S...

LouisLouisV and goirish, I have been taking low-dose doxycycline now for a while to help with inflammation, and my dermatologist said that I could continue taking it up to the day I start accutane. Of...

Thanks Stripes...are you planning on doing a log to document your progress? If so I'll be following along! firsttimeaccutane - that sounds like a good strategy with the scheduling of appointments. St...

Ahhhhh you better do a log, megtree!! I will absolutely be updating with my progress! Stay tuned, my friend!
