Hey, thanks! Hopefully it works as well for you to. I do still drink alcohol occasionally, but what I usually do is if I know I am going to be drinking alcohol that night then I will not take any accu...

Hey guys, not been on this thread or even the website is soo long so thought I would just do a wee update.   It has been almost a year since I started my low dose accutane regime. I started on ...

Does anyone use Micellar water as a cleanser? The most known one is by Bioderma.

I started doing the regimen with store bought products and I did use cetaphil. Use the gentle cleanser, that was the one I used to help me clear my acne and yes it is the same principle by doing it fo...

Do any of you guys do the regimen with a non foaming cleanser (cetaphil, aquanil, cerave hydrating) ? Do the same principles apply, like washing for only 10 seconds or so? Thanks.

Basically what the title says. I have extremely sensitive skin (burning, red, stringing, dehydration), and all moisturizers seem to cause a bad reaction. Can you guys please suggest some moisturizers ...

Vanicream is decent. i find it too heavy at times though. bump

Hello, I need a moisturizer for VERY sensitive skin. I feel like I have tried them all. Please give me some suggestions, if you have any. Thank y'all.

Hey just seeing how its going for you and giving an update. Since last update, my oily skin has seen major improvement. I can now go all day without getting crazy oily. I still get oily but its normal...

  I do'\t know if you are on any skin care regimen or using any chemicals, but I had side effects like dry skin and redness when on 10mg/day, but when I tried the caveman regimen (for me it was a...

end of week 7. starting this week (week 8) I am moving up to 10mg every other day (35mg/week). i can confirm that my skin is no longer "oily" anymore, it is still slightly oily compared to other peopl...

I may be wrong, but doesn't cheek/chin acne usually means its hormonal? Have you ever tried birth control? I've had friends and have seen people on here have great success with clearing hormonal acne ...

End of week 6, just took another 20mg. Noticeably less oil production, no reduction in acne yet. Anybody else have a similar experience? I am wondering why my acne is still a problem when there is muc...

End of week 5, just took my 5th 20mg pill. I can tell my face is producing noticeably less oil than it was before. now my face (mainly forehead) doesnt feel oily until the end of the day. acne has se...

bump. anyone else?

my skin! in just two weeks! Quick question. Do you think you have to do a full standard dose course of accutane first, or can you just start right off with a low dose approach similar to this one?

End of week 3, just took my 4th 20mg pill. no difference, skin might be a tad less oily, but hard to tell. dont want to get anyone's hopes up (mine included) until I am 100% sure I am seeing a diffe...

anyone else?

Alright I will check with my derm. "I have many patients who are on long-term Accutane regimens where they take 1-2 pills a week (more men than women, or women who are post-menopausal) to maintain acn...

I know drinking while on a course of accutane is a no no. However, I am taking an alternative route when it comes to accutane. I am only going to take 20 mg A WEEK. Do you think drinking is fine on th...

thats a bummer. I've read some stuff about people staying on accutane for indefinite periods of time (10 years or more) at a very low dose (10 mg once or twice a week). I'm no doctor but I don't see w...

Don't worry. It is not bad at all. P.S. your friends are assholes. I'm guessing you are young, so its more than likely all your friends will get pimples at some point.

Thanks for the reply. Did the oil stay away once you were off it? I already got 10mg prescribed.
