Hi all, it really pains me to say that a little over 8 months after my course finished, my acne has returned. It started a month or so back where I was getting a couple of small pimples and I just ...

11 weeks post accutane: Still very few spots and skin remaining clear. I have started a course of treatment to help with the remaining hyperpigmentation and scars. I have just undergone by first derma...

3 weeks post accutane: -Skin still completely clear, no signs of any acne emerging as of yet. -Still contending with red marks, shallow scars etc. I went to my derm to discuss what I can do about th...

Just took my final pill. Really happy to be finished and no longer have to take accutane. Hopefully my battle with acne has now come to an end. In terms of my skin, I have 1 active (not bothered about...

Hi Jolly, Great to hear that things are still going well with your acne and that things are starting to look up with the hair loss. As someone who will shortly be embarking on the post-accutane life, ...

16 days to go! Just had an appointment with my derm who confirmed he's happy with my progress and for me to stop accutane. I was pretty worried going in as I still have 3 actives (not new ones from t...

1- Just leave it alone 2- Most recommendations are about 20g of fat, but generally just have it with your main meal of the day and that will be fine. 3- Cetaphil gentle cleanser is great as a wash and...

What have you tried to get rid of your acne?

I think my counting has been a little off over the course of the last few posts! I have 27 doses remaining, which puts my final pill to be taken on 22nd April. I have been a bit disappointed of late...

Another milestone reached, today is my 100th day on accutane! It feels like it’s gone quickly but at the same time has taken ages. No new or that bothersome side effects to add to the above, happy to...

Day 84: My skin has improved since I last updated, probably done to about 5 actives, still got those cysts next to my ear and neck, but they have gone down a bit. Lots of redness and some scarring. ...

Day 73: not really much change to be honest. In terms of my skin: -Fewer breakouts on my cheeks, but one massive cyst next to my ear which has lingered for 10 days or so and another on my neck -Bre...

Day 60: So by my count, I just took my 60th pill of accutane. A few things to update on: -I had my blood test and although I haven't had the all clear yet, I had a skin over the differences between t...

Had exactly the same rash on my hands and I’m about two months into my course. Have found not washing hands too often (and when you do with moisturising handwash) and putting E45 on them to help.

Hi there, I'm also on accutane, the best thing you can do right now is to use no topicals at all. Cleanse, moisturise, drink lots of water and look after yourself. The accutane will really dry the ski...

Day 45: so I think my skin may be getting a bit better, still lots of active acne but they are less angry than they have been previously. I've got one particularly horrible cyst on my neck at the mome...

Question for you both, are you sticking to the same skincare routine as you were during accutane?

Day 38: no real changes to my skin, with this being my 8th day on the higher dose of 60mg. Still breaking out just as regularly as I was pre-accutane. Side effects wise, nothing major, hair is less oi...

Sounds like you are both having a pretty horrible experience post-accutane. Chin up, stay positive, eat healthy and exercise. Before you know it, the drug will be out of your system and you’ll be able...
