@jPablo That's awesome! Just keep in mind that it will work even if you feel discouraged at times. Keep us posted on how things are going! @sanjam95 I think some small breakouts near the end of the c...

@sanjam95 I actually haven't broke out at all on my face during the last few weeks. I broke out a bit on my body but other than that i've been clear! How is your course going overall??

Hey guys!! Holy. Crap. Only two weeks left... this feeling of being so close is unbelievable. These last two weeks of the final month have been hard... i've been tired, sore, and just in general unco...

Day 103 We hit the 100 day mark! Woohooo! My skin is doing pretty well. I haven't had any major breakouts in a few weeks! Looking back, I followed the generic accutane course flow in terms of acne: st...

Day 99 Hey everyone! It's been a while! My skin over the last week and half from the last time I posted has been pretty stable. I haven't had any major breakouts since 2017... that's so crazy to say! ...

@4569ally Good to hear the breakouts are slowing down! I kinda had the same thing about 6 weeks ago where certain spots wouldn't die.. then the raise in dose obliterated them lol. I definitely agree t...

Day 84 Happy New Year everyone! I'm very happy to put 2017 in the past! lol My skin over the last week has been peeling like crazy! My skin was so dry it looked like mudcrack photos taken in nature l...

Day 79 I am definitely passed the IB period. The breakouts are really slowing down! My skin is red and peely, but I guess that's the price you pay for clear skin in the long run lol.. I consider it an...

Day 76 Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone! My skin is definitely clearing up acne-wise. The jump to 70mg has really made a difference! The skin on my cheeks has like this layer of dry skin ...

Congrats @Juwalker!!! Hopefully in a few months i'll follow suit.

Day 72 Hey guys! These last two weeks since the raise to 70mg have been tough overall. I have had major fatigue for the past week...I can fall asleep on demand now lol. The red face thing has returned...

Day 66 Broke out a little bit on my forehead. I got a zit on my right cheek for the first time during the course.. kinda random lol. Skin and lips are definitely more flaky, but i'm not sure if it's f...

Day 62 Same as yesterday. I forgot to mention that I have now been moisturizing twice a day to keep dryness under control. If I skimp on it my skin gets a really rough feeling.

Day 61 - First day of 70mg Nothing new today. Everything has been stable for about two weeks. I looked back in the log and realized I am definitely not breaking out as much as I did during the crux of...

Hey guys! Officially 60 days in and just took my first dose of 70mg... now starting Month 3! I'll be updating more often kind of like month 1 just to keep track of any differences between 60mg and 70...

Hey guys! Just had my second follow up with my derm. We decided to go up to 70mg/day to get closer to the 1mg/kg mark. I was kinda concerned about upping the dosage, but my derm seemed confident in wh...

@4569ally Hang in there! The results are on the way! Patience isn't my strong suit, but I think that's the name of the game with iso treatment. Head up and keep moving forward!

@Juwalker Congratulations!!! It sounds like you had a similar response in terms of time and symptoms to my sister. Fight through the rest of it... you are almost in the clear! ... pun intended lolol

Day 45 Hey guys! Been a while since i've posted.. I ended up getting sick which added to the fun lol.. I'm doing better now though. Things are continuing on course. My chest is pretty much clear. My ...

Day 32-35 My face feels very smooth in most places now. There is still kind of a rough texture on my upper cheeks, but it's really only detectable by feel. I brokeout a bit on my left cheek. The break...

Start of Month 2 - Day 31 Woke up this morning to no peeling or flaking. My face is staying flake free for the most part throughout the day. A large pimple that healed came back in the same spot on my...

Day 29 and 30 Wow!!! One month down the drain. I had my follow up appointment with my derm today. My liver and triglyceride levels from the iso were elevated, but nothing alarmingly high. Hopefully my...
