DAY 44   I've been breaking out a bit lately. All of the blackheads on my nose are completely gone which is absolutely amazing, but I'm still getting new spots. I never really felt that bad/inse...

Hey! You are just a few days behind me. I tried a few moisturizers and my favorite so far has been Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré. It's really good! I actually purchased it a while ago when I still ...

DAY 23   Dealing with Accutane induced dandruff: About a couple weeks into starting accutane, I began to notice that my scalp was more dry and flaky, just as everything is with this medicine. ...

Hey Emily James, Good luck with Accutane! I've started within the last few weeks as well and have definitely felt the same way in the past. On a side note- I started with the Cetaphil moisturizing cr...

DAY 17   This month has been going by so slowly. While none of my side effects have been too bad, I am just so eager to start seeing results. I've been seeing a lot more blackheads lately, so I'...

DAY 12   I've had a bit of a breakout at least its not too bad (nothing more than what I would've gotten before starting accutane). I have noticed, however, that any spots that I do have heal...

DAY 7   Starting to see some more side effects lately. Again, nothing too bad, just more dryness and skin sensitivity. I had to switch from my usual Cetaphil Cleanser (the one for all skin types...

DAY 4   This is going pretty well so far! I'm beginning to experience some of the typical side effects, but it has all been very manageable. My skin is getting a little drier, but it's nothing t...

DAY 1 So I just took my first dose of Accutane. I met with my doctor today to finally get my prescription and it went well! All of my questions were answered about what I should be using in conjunctio...

Idk if anyone is going to be reading this, but I thought it would be good for me to document my accutane experience either way. I am a 17 year old girl and I've had acne since the beginning of middle ...
