Blood tests are still ok. My derm said i won't need to do it for next month 🙂 I had some breakouts but the results are improving every day. Photo compilation coming soon  

I use a cheap moisturiser only since Accutane is already quite expensive and I don't want to go bankrupt xD

I had similar results. I am taking 40 mg for a month and it has been weeks since I had breakouts. Skin is considerably less oily and the only side effect I can think is dryness on the lips.

No idea. Have you considered not smoking weed, perhaps?  

End of first month  6 more to go. Blood tests came out ok and it's been weeks since I had a big pimple. My skin remains oil free for hours but it is noticeable more fragile. It...

Make sure you take Accutane after meals and keep the timing consistent every day.

I had no luck with antibiotics. Lymecicline didn't work so the derm prescribed Accutane.

Day 14: First box of Isotretionin is almost over  13 more to go... This thing definitely works. Skin is drier even hours after washing my face with special soap  Lo...

Looks like you need to see your derm. Also, I would avoid putting on makeup while doing skin treatment.

I just leave the beard grow hoping it will hide the mess underneath... maybe after Accutane I will be able to shave more often 

I believe there are special kinds of makeup that actually treat acne. Well, it could be worse. If you were a guy you would be forbidden to wear makeup

Tough situation. I would take the pills. You could also schedule the beginning of the treatment for your vacations so if you do breakout you could just stay at home. That is what I did.

My derm told me to take it after meals, but not specifically fatty ones. I don't eat fatty meals anyway so I take it after lunch. By the way I also started a week ago so that makes us accutane twins?&...

Day 8: No active lesions. Hooray Skin is less oily. Definitely not my imagination. Had some breakout during this week but now it looks better. Lips are drier but not cracking. 

Back to the topic, my dermatologist told me I should take both pills at once after some meal.

Geez, this thing acts fast... Day 5 and my lips and eyes are dry  

Well, take pill #1, then #2 then #3 in a row  I do that but I only need two pills.  

I never had much facial hair (I am a guy btw). Started shaving fairly late, at age of 16. Around my 20's I could stay a whole week without shaving and yet I would have the beard of a 15 yo boy... Rece...

Day four on Isotretionin (40 mg). So far so good. Lips don't feel any drier yet. Skin slightly less oily (or maybe it is just my imagination).
