FYI - I decided to try out a Revlon foundation. I went for the ColorStay Whipped Creme. Today is first day using it, I will let you know how it compares to the EL Double Wear.

I saw my Derm last week (my skin is the opposite to yours, it misbehaves when I see him!) and I don't have to go back for 3 months!!!! He gave me a 4 month prescription so I don't run out and said I o...

I have recently (last 3 weeks) come of my antiobiotics and am seeing a little bit of inflammation come back .... FFS. I don't really want to go back on the antibiotics but I also don't want the inflam...

I can't drink anymore. I tried a few times and it is PAINFUL. Maybe I am just getting old

Hi Sherri1225, I take Vitamin C and D3 every day - I read somewhere (can't find the link now) that Vitamin D is good for Isotretinoin users re bone health .... I also experienced dry eyes early on a...

Can I join in? So after nearly a month of decent looking skin, I'm back to shit. When will this ever end? Inflammation is coming back and while it is less than when I started (perspective) I don't wan...

Day 79 update - clearing, yay! I have changed skin care to washing with Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser (washing twice in the pm to remove makeup), and then Cethaphil Moisturiser. I still use the ACV for to...

Speaking of sweat - I play sports and *think* I sweat more now than pre accutane. Is that normal, or is it just my fat crying?

Hey EliseLouise, I just wanted to say thank you! I read your comment ages ago and it got me thinking maybe I was hindering my own progress using all that stuff so I took a big deep breath and bought...

Your skin looks amazing! I am on the same dose as you - but only just started 3rd month, I can't wait to get to the end of this. At what point do you think you saw the biggest improvement? My Derm to...

There is no evidence that supports the "Accutane delays healing" theory - if there is please send it me as I would be very interested. Everyone's experience is unique to them - please DON'T push your...

I think getting rid of acne is a major health benefit for sufferers. You're entitled to your opinion but think you should take it elsewhere. BudBudbud - my GP mentioned something about taking Accuta...

Hi there, I was on 20mg for a month and then bumped up to 40mg - there was definitely a 4-5 day period when I experienced intensified side effects, but they went away! I have 1 pill in the morning wi...

Oh, I have had this too! Upper lip mostly when I get out the shower (fine during the day). I thought it might have been the disgusting humidity going on at the moment, but maybe related to the meds?? ...

That's awful! My only advice is move to Australia where it costs considerably less!

Thanks for that GreatDane! I asked the Derm at my last appt and he said 1-2 drinks max and then onto the soft stuff that's hard during the party season of summer, and my 30th is coming up! In saying...

I have used Tea Tree Oil as a spot treatment and it just dried my zits out, it never made them worse. I wouldn't put it all over my face, only ever as a spot treatment as it really does dry out the sk...

Best side affect - my makeup stays exactly where I put it!!! Worst side affect - flaky scalp, gross. A scalp treatment seems to be working on keeping that at bay for now. Does anyone have any makeup...

I can totally sympathise with the roller-coaster of emotions. Some days I feel like my skin looks pretty good, and others I want a paper bag! I'm only day 24 at 20mg a day - derm appt tomorrow but in ...

Good luck!! I am on day 24 today, but on a low dose (20mg a day). I will be watching your log with interest and hope it goes well for you. I seem to have good and bad days - I have noticed an improv...

So, I have been madly reading everything I can find on other peoples experience with Isotretinoin and thought I should share my own for anyone interested. I am currently on day 8 of my first ever c...
