Hey. Merry Christmas! Im glad you do not have actives anymore. I do not have any actives for a while either and my red marks are fading very very slowly. Bigger scars are still there but smaller on...

Kasey, I think its because your log name is "My Claravis Log".. Could you change name for it...? Im just guessing... Thats what catches it when Claravis is typed in Google.

Hi. About the dosages its very confusing. Sometimes I think it does not matter weight, age or acne type.. it just depends from your derm.. Every dermatologist says different things. I have seen 4 dif...

You may carry your oatmeal in a cute empty lotion or mask jar (I use the one from Lush masks) or simply some cute little plastic/glass container... Buy yeah, I was also carrying my oatmeal box befor...

Oatmeal cleanser is great - if your skin is clean...! I actually grind them in food processor (or blender) to have a smoother feeling on my skin. Sometimes, I still feel its not enough (for a cleasn...

Hi Kasey, I think you are getting close to see some improvemnts! Looks like your skin is getting cleared slowly (like mine)... I am telling you this, because similar as you I was getting lots of new h...

Hi Kasey, Im glad your skin is getting better. Im on week 13 and my skin is also lots better as it was (like in week 8) - I take some pics every week to compare it. Now I have only about 2-3 little p...

Hey Kasey! Aaww, I feel bad for your back pain. Specially when you have to play flute. Maybe try changing positions while playing and exercide before you play? Sometimes my back hurts a bit after si...

I am sorry about your rash and throat side effects. I hope they will dissaprear fast. My scariest side effects so far is thinning hair (some hair loss in front) and facial hair growing.. My forehead ...

I have the same problem, and yes - it is Accutane side effect.

Kasey, I am also using Cetaphil Moisturizing cream (I got a smaller bottle of 85g instead of huge round bottle) and it is really nice. Moisturizes very well for extra dry skin and does not seem to clo...

Hi, I am also really worried about hair shedding. Unfortunately, I can not help you much, I am not done with Accutane yet. I am only starting my 3rd month and noticed hair thinning at the end of fir...

Hey Kasey! Wow, you pay lots of money.. but well.. its worth it, if you are acne free afterwards, right? Yes, in Canada I do not pay for derm visit (thats why its fast and he does not care much abo...

Thanks, I will see what I can do. Here in Canada its more complicated Have to have a referral from walk-in clinic first and then wait few weeks to get an appointment. Good thing, all appointments are...
