My Accutane Log - 17M - Pictures
Diamond98 replied to Diamond98's topic in Accutane (isotretinoin) logs
Okay, so, been about a year since my last update. My skin so far has been breakout free for quite some time. Hoping things stay that way, but you never know. Fingers crossed. I haven't noticed an abundance of lingering effects. As it stands now, I really only had dry skin, dry lips and what I believe was thinning hair. I do think my hair suffered a little bit, but I'm not devastated nor do I regret taking this medication. I still am glad I took the medication, it REALLY improved my skin. S -

I don't know how long its been but.... hello My face has honestly been great since accutane. It is in now way as severe as it used to be, but every few months I still get a few spots. Nothing major and so much better. As it stands now, taking accutane and taking it the way I took it was one of the better decisions I have ever made. Nowadays, I only wash my face once a day. Cutting back on a lot of products on my post-accutane face I feel has made it much healthier and less prone to breakout -

21 Months Post Accutane Still deal with occasional breakout, still nothing compared to what my spots looked like pre-accutane. Still happy with results. Psychologically the effects still remain, my confidence has still been gravely affected by acne to tell the truth. Honestly I think the breakouts I get now are purely stress induced, and I'm working on correcting that now. Gotta keep moving forward. Stay positive! UGK - 3 in the Mornin -

14.5 Months Post Accutane Wow, been a while. Skin still healing, red marks still here but gradually fading. Still have a spot here and there, but still nowhere near as severe as before accutane. Staying hopeful. Trying to move past what acne did to me socially and psychologically, harder than I thought. Stay positive! Fetty - Trap Queen -

Great news, glad to hear your skin is well! My fear going into accutance were lingering side effects but it is awesome how we both have no lingering effects! -

12 Months Post Accutane Been a while since my last update. Face is doing well, only small breakouts here and there. Amazingly, I am still working to completely rid myself of hyperpigmentation from a while back. Breakouts are less severe than before taking accutane as of now. Still happy in my decision to take the medication. No lingering side effects as of now. Stay positive! Dave East - Paranoia -

yes. My skin was delicate, much more so than normal. Dry and irritated, it didnt take much to create a visible red mark or scratch on my skin. Wasnt terrible though. Be sure you are staying hydrated. Part of the reason i think that my skin wasnt overly sensitive and easily irritated was my consistent water consumption. -

stay strong, it will get better. I still break out occasionally (did 2 days ago, have one spot on my lower lip and 2 on my forehead) but they typically are not as intense and fade at a faster rate than before accutane. Still makes me mad sometimes but my skin certaintly looks better, and with time, im sure your skin will look better as well. -

8+ Months Post-Accutane Been at least 8 months since finishing my course. All is going suprisingly well. Have had a few patches along the way with a few minor breakouts, but they tend to go away more quickly than before accutane. As of now, very happy with my results. Any questions, feel free to ask. Stay positive! Lute - Home -

4ish months post accutane. Wow, can't believe how long it has been. My face is doing well so far, have had a few smaller breakouts but nothing major so far, hopefully it does not get worse. Pretty happy right now, cannot complain! Although I do wish I was completely clear, this is good enough for me! I just hope it stays like this. Stay positive! Dj Quik - Across the Map -

I'm very sorry to hear about the spot, I hope things are going well for you now and that the retin-a worked. I currently do not want to jinx anything, but I feel like I am doing well so far off of the drug. Just closely monitoring and taking things day by day. I hope to hear from you soon and I hope things have gotten better. -

28 Days Post Accutane I plan on making a more in-depth post soon but here are some details as to my situation: Lips still mildly dry, not nearly as dry around mid course. Face seems to be gaining some oil back, although it is hard to tell. I believe I have had about 3 spots appear since taking my last pill, all of which did not or are not lasting long (one popped up yesterday but I doubt it lasts long). I hope I continue to see results, it would be so amazing. Stay positive! Future - Coming -

Sorry to hear about the clogged pores, I hope things get better! My skin right now feels irritated and red, I think it is the oil starting to come back. I have a few new spots but I'm hoping my new retin-a cream will help out.
