Day 28 Skin is continuing to smooth out. Breakouts on the temple area are taking their sweet time healing lol. Any breakouts that pop up now are smaller and heal more quickly. Lips require more freque...

Day 14 Woww.. 2 weeks down! Skin all of a sudden became more oily again. I heard it can kinda fluctuate in the beginning so i'm not surprised. Skin flakiness has been kept in check by moisturizer. Hai...

@4569ally Always feel free to rant to us... negative self-image because of acne is something that you need to experience first hand to fully comprehend the near debilitating effects it can impose on a...

@Juwalker Since your lips are dry the medicine is having some effect. I might have dried out because of starting at 60 mg straight away and my skin was beat up from topicals and such. Keep trucking!.....

@Juwalker The flaky skin isn't too fun lol. My doc said that the flakiness doesn't necessarily equate with better results.. if you're moisturizing regularly then you could be mitigating it. My sister ...

Day 4 Skin on chin and forehead was flaking a bit, but it's most likely left over from being dried out by topicals. I just need to keep up with the moisturizing. Lips are not dry at all.. I put on aqu...

Thank you @ellyfant! That made my night reading that. I get really frustrated when my family (or anyone) tells me "just don't let it bother you" or "no one else cares" when they've never had serious s...
