I have ultra sensitive and dry skin and the only face washes I've ever found that thoroughly cleaned my face without stripping it were the Vanicream Facial Bar and Burt's Bees Facial Cleanser for Sens...

My paramedical esthetics instructor always told us "You cant ever rinse your face enough." I like to spray my face with water throughout the day using a purse size spray bottle, it keeps my makeup f...

I've been using just regular Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion for years, day and night, and it's been good thus far. But I recently moved to an extremely dry climate and it's not enough anymore now th...

I guess I can't say what the rules are for another country, but I know here in the US it's a minimum of 6 months between courses. I started my second course exactly 6 months after my first one ended, ...

Well, a couple things. "Washing" with just plain water, is not actually really washing per say, it's more just like rinsing. Think like if you have a face full of makeup and rub water on it, it just s...

I've also emptied the kitchen out onto my face over the years, but have never tried banana peels before - very good to know! Thanks for sharing.

One thing I noticed is that it appears you wash your face 4 times a day. That is double the maximum amount of times you should be washing your face every day, which can over-dry your skin and cause it...

I took my first accutane course last year from May to October. Skin was perfectly clear until about April when the acne returned and I was unsuccessful in using normal topical treatments to control it...

Just wanted to toss something out to you as a sidenote just in case no one had made you aware... Accutane cannot be fully absorbed into the blood/body if it is not taken with fat. It is recommended to...

Same here. My face got smooth and great in the first three weeks then on week 4 my entire face became SO bumpy it looked like I just had terrible goosebumps.. but of course they were all whiteheads. I...

hey man just looking for some advice! i took accutane 20mg a day for 12 months and my face was completely clear at the end of the treatment, just had some PIH ive been on it 6 weeks and my forehead ha...

Thanks everyone. It is definitely reaffirming to read that you are having success with your second courses and I am truly delighted for you. I just get the jitters before I start this drug I guess bec...

I finished a six month course of Accutane and promptly started to break out, once again, about 3 months after my last pill. I am now almost at the six month mark after my first course and still battl...

I'm a vegetarian and I will not take fish oil but my hips literally feel like they have spiked baseball bats lodged in them 24/7 and I'm desperate. *Sidenote: reducing my dosage is also not an option ...

Are you taking birth control with accutane? My hair grew like crazy when on accutane! Not to say this will happen to you but about 2 months off the drug hair started thinning and falling out like craz...

Since I'm halfway through my 4th month on an estimated 6 month treatment plan, I am 100% not open to the idea of quitting right now. But it's been about 12 days since I went back down to 40mg and it...

Well that sounds nothing short of annoying - sorry to hear that was a part of your experience =/... I'm feeling fortunate the hair on my head has gotten a lot thicker, and my eyebrows/any hair on my b...

My dosage got bumped up this month from 40mg per day to 60mg per day and for the last few weeks my eyelashes have been falling out like crazy! I don't think it's a coincidence. I now make a special ef...

Well thanks for the answers everyone. It really puts my mind at ease knowing other people have experienced similar reactions. I nearly had myself convinced that I must be immune to the drug because I ...

I think the best thing you could do is to just call your pharmacy or your dermatologist (or both!) and get their opinions on it. That seems like it would give you the most accurate answer, plus it's q...

Hey Max! I'm not sure what all you already know, but I've been experimenting with a few things since I started on Accutane 16 days ago and I've found a few things that are helpful: 1) Vaseline Lip Th...

I've been on Accutane 16 days now, 40mg per day, and I have yet to experience any real side effects including an initial breakout, which makes me wonder/doubt it's working. I got prescribed it because...
