Hey Guys! Well I took my last tablet the other day! So happy and can't believe its over! My skin is amazing, had one spot since February! Accutane has defiantly worked for me. Fingers crossed now I'v...

Week 13 I haven't updated this log for a while. Can't believe how quickly time has gone by, about half way through the course now. Wow. Well, all in all things are pretty good. On average im getting ...

Heya, well I've had one set of blood tests the other week and everything was fine, but saw the dermatology nurse and she said I wouldn't need to take another blood test until after I've finished the c...

Week 7 Had my first check up today with the dermatology nurse. Blood work all fine. She said because im 50kg my max dose per day would be 50mg a day, but because my face is clearing up so well now s...

Hey Tommy! Great news that you seem to be clearing up. Lol yup every time I say something like that I worry I've jinxed it too haha. Yeah you are right, we just need to get over the hurdles and by the...

Are you from the uk? If so for lips best thing in my opinion is elizabeth arden 8 hour cream! It's been a god send for me. Totally works. Its quite pricey but I reckon one tube will last your whole ac...

Hey! Your acne sounds quite similar to mine. Im 6 weeks into my course. Just wondered, Im not having a check up until 7 weeks in (next week) and its not even with a dematologist, its with a dermatolog...

    Week Five     I think I jinxed myself last week by sayng I wasn't experiencing much dryness, as now my face is so dry looking and flaky. And my lips have been much drier! S...

Glad you guys enjoyed the documentary. I enjoyed making it. What was your favourite part?   Well apart from your part Will of course I quite liked when that presenter had the different photos ...

Hey Nick, Thank you for your post! Im so sorry to hear about the effects taking accutane has left you with. It sounds awful, I can't imagine how that must be. I appreciate your advice and will take ...

Hi Will, how funny your on here too The show was really interesting, I think it was really well done actually, showing different sides to different treatments. You came across very well, and your ski...

Hey, yeah I'll be watching it too, think it will be very interesting, although its largly about a man whos trying to get Roaccutane banned in the UK, which im currently on :s Will probably totally sca...

Holy crap I know what you mean about acne moving around the face. It's like one area gets clear, then it goes to another one, then comes back. So annoying. Was your skin oily prior to taking Accutane ...

Dermalogica cleansers? I used them before they were great, they do loads of different types and really mega gentle ones too. Now using cetaphil though as its cheaper,

Dermalogica Active Moist is great. I have very oily spot prone skin and sometimes it can be kind of dry too. Have nothing negative to say about it

Week four (and a few days...) Ouch! Such a painful spot on my cheek. I seem to have had a bit of a eruption on both my cheeks over the last few days. But they don't have heads, just raised hard red...

Hey! I appreciate your comments! I totally agree that people need to friggn take responsibility for their decisions. I read that article and know how the kid felt. I have taken supplements that ma...

Hi, just found this post and found it really interesting to read! And I can totally understand where you are coming from! I havent even been on a date for two years because I kinda feel like I dont ev...

Wow 100mg!! Good luck with your course, im nearly 4 weeks into mine, so far so good. I know what you mean about despising people see with clear flawless skin! I hope they realise how lucky they are. W...

Sad story in the newspaper today, but I hope they dont ban accutane in the UK, as acne in its self is enough to lead to depression etc... for some accutane is the only option left and yes a risk with ...

Im finally feeling well (ish) again and took my full dose today. So far nothing seems to have changed on my skin seen as I missed 3 days dose. Weird question - does anyone have strange dreams while o...

Hey, good luck with your 2nd course!! Im on my first, 3 weeks in. So far so good. I use that Cetaphil face wash too, really like it, seems to be quite popular among accutane users! x

I've had a sickness bug since tuesday night (non accutane related because my brother had it too) which has meant I haven't been able to take wednesday or todays pills Gutted! Has anyone else had to ...

Thanks Chloelauraa. How many blood tests do you have to have? Mine isnt until 2 months in then I have a check up with the nurse. Then the next check after that is month 5 with the derm. Doesnt sound l...
