2 week of accutane and it seems as though I have a new symptom everyday! Dry lips are my constant, then my face is peeling, now my ears. All in All I'm okay!!!😁
I relate with you so much!! I’ve had acne ever since I was nine and now I’m 15. I’ve tried so many things and none seem to keep my skin clear in long term so I’m thinking about accurate. Update: I still have a little acne but my skin is literally sooo clear now literally all I did was drink more water LMAO (80 oz)
for sure. im 30 now wish i did it when i was younger. time your start date with your summer vacation. so the worse part potentially you can hide indoors.
Getting acne at 9 is super unfortunate, I thought it was bad for me cause I was the first at my school who got it when I was 12-13. The younger you are when you get acne, the worse it is because the regret overwhelms you even though 12 year old me didn't even know what acne or skincare routines are, I can't imagine getting acne when you are 9.
Im starting accutane at 13 years old, I've been struggling with acne since I was 7, I've always had a bad Self-esteem, many people on my school would question why I had so many black heads. I've tried everything, from expensive skincare to dermatologists prescripted products, but i never got a a result that It satisfied me. A few weeks back i went to a very recommended dermatologist here in Brazil, and I got so happy when I was prescribed accutane, my mom knew I would often cry because of how bad my skin looked, and she bought me accutane. It's been 1 week since I've started taking it and some side effects I got is dry lips, flaky skin some hair loss. I really don't mind these too much, I use vaseline on my lips and it helped me a lot too. Overall I'm very happy to be given this opportunity! I can't wait for the next few months!
hi, I'm on 7 months of acutane and definitely the dry lips is the biggest problem I'm having and also dry skin near the lips, but I know it will pay back :)
Im 15 this year I've been struggling with acne since 10 my dermatologist suggested me to have accutane. Im starting my accutine journey wish me luck!! You inspired me so much girl!
@@Natalia-lp9ik doctor gave me the least effective dose since im really young so i think its gonna take more time to see some reaction!! Im on my second month. You should consult your dermatologist if you wanna try. Good luck girl..
@@Natalia-lp9ik well doctor gave me the least effective dose cz im really young i think it's gonna take more time to see some results but i think my skin is clearing up and even people around me are saying my skin is glowing so its worth giving a try. You should consult your dermatologist. Good luck girl ❤❤
@@sourcandy3039 I have a few questions!! How long did you have to wait before starting Accutane? Do you have to do regular blood tests? Is it expensive? Have you tried any other topical creams or anything before starting Accutane? These are just a few questions I have if you’re willing to answer!! Thank you so much🙌
I’m on day 3 of accutane! I sure wish my derm had told me at the initial appt about how accutane raises cholesterol levels because I could have worked on that for the entire first month of waiting before I could start…. (Because I already have high cholesterol). Now we got my blood work done and she says I basically need to be vegan for the entire period and if my levels go up too much I will have to stop taking the medication. I’ve been working my ass off to eat a very high fiber diet and a very low saturated/trans fat and low cholesterol diet and walk more often. Just wish she would have told me earlier. She always seems to be in a rush and not care too much about me. Also, I have heard SO many people talking about taking accutane with a fat and so I asked my doctor about that and she said, “no. If you’re anorexic or not eating much, it might not absorb entirely, but that’s not true.” I’m like um okay
I'm sorry that your journey has been rough so far :( I am optimistic for you and am wishing you the best! I know going vegan is a difficult change too, so don't be too hard on yourself and keep tabs on your overall health
Omg I’m on the same page as u I have high cholesterol and I hope they still give me itttt mines like genetic I’m trying to eat more fiber rich foods too!! I just want clear skin already I still need to do my first bloodwork then go in next month and see 😭
I mean you should probably ask these types of questions before starting any meditation. A lot of times doctors are running a billion miles a minute so unless YOU ask questions you won’t get answers. Also did you tell your doctor you had high cholesterol before you got on accutane? Idk seems kinda crazy to only blame the doctor when you can also ask questions since it’s regarding your own health.
Thanks for your kind words, but my skin looks healthier now because of accutane! I had regular acne for 10+ years of my life. I wish you the best in your skin journey
im about to start, for 10 years i tried different things and nothing worked. on my face i dont have much nowadays cuz it was mainly hormonal but my back is really bad and its the main reason im taking it
Glad it was helpful!! I'm not a doc but my doc advised against using anything with active ingredients in it when I was on Accutane! So that'd include Vitamin C, unfortunately. :(
I'm on month 8 rn and I'll write my experience here: I took it in months 10mg-20mg-30mg-40mg-40mg-50mg-60mg-60mg 1. PURGE: Usually people say their face clears by month three. I got a pretty bad purge fase and skin cleared only by month 6🥲. 2. DRYNESS: My side effects were also pretty mild, during first months I had lip and body dryness, after that only dry lips, but often pretty bad. Also you don't have to wash your hair as often cause it just won't get oily! 3. OTHER SIDE EFFECTS: I've never heard anyone mention this but I experienced (still do) face flushing and sweating (in the face) a lot! Any kind of temperature change or crouching down would make my temperature suddenly go up and my face beet red, it made me very insecure so I wore makeup all the time. 4. SUN: usually it's an awful idea to go in the sun while on accutane so I always wore SPF! It's different for everybody tho. I had a surf trip on month 3, was still in my purge fase but nothing got particularly worse. So usually people stop taking the medication in the summer, but my doc said that it's quite okay if it didn't trigger anything on that surf trip. 5. ALCOHOL: I did drink at times, sometimes more, sometimes less, but rarely (for a uni student). At first I tried avoiding fermented drinks and drank mostly gin and vodka, now I've had beers and wine too. On days that I did drink I always missed the evening dosage because on my first time drinking (new years eve) I took a pill before drinking (shampagne🤦♀️) and it immediately reacted in my stomach and I threw up badly. So yeah I do recommend sticking to gin and vodka cocktails rather than fermented drinks.
I’m on my 19th pill 30mg haven’t noticed any changes yet I know it’s still early gotta be patient and pray it works side effects I’ve gotten have only been dry lips and bloody nose
Yes!! Accutane side effects is different on every person, but this sounds like a side effect that is common with accutane. Hope everything else is well!
Thank you for the info.. OMG i’m taking isotretinoin for a week now, but i didn’t know that I can’t drink alcohol while taking it. I did drink alcohol yesterday huhu 😭
My hair is not as oily. I used to have oily hair where I washed at least every/every other day. Now I can go without washing my hair for 1 week LOL. In the beginning I had pretty severe dandruff, but now it's not as bad. I get dry scalp/dandruff on day 1-2 hair, then 3-wash day my hair looks nice and shiny.
I‘ve been struggling for over 3 years now with acne, nothing helps, I think I will consider going on accutane. I guess it’s worth a try, I‘ve been scared of the side effects and purging but I think I would try everything for clear skin🥺
@@RedRumble14 I already made an appointment, but only in november, they sadly didn't have an appointment earlier, I'm thinking about going to another one but it's really hard to even find somebody
@@katharsis909 is it some free facility? U may consider some private clinic where they would prescribe you accutaine. Even 1.5 months can make a difference with this medication, so I wouldn’t waste time if had a choice. Hope u figure it out!
@@RedRumble14 yes, it's a free facility, I am considering going to a private clinic, but I'm not sure of the costs, I have to think about it, but there I would probably get an appointment much sooner in September... I just think that if I get on accutane and have to go there monthly to check if everything is ok, I have to pay the costs myself and I'm still a student so I don't have that much money currently
@@katharsis909 yeah bro I’m also a student, and I was also thinking that I would have to go there every month, but in fact, u can just go there once, after the first 1 or 2 months and then just monitor your blood results. ( if they are ok, u don’t really have to go to clinic cuz they won’t tell you anything new). So u can just check your blood and follow the plan of taking accutaine. Then the next time u can go there at around 6 months mark. Myself I was also prolonging my treatment cuz was thinking about financial aspect too much, but it costed me 6 months ( In which I could have cleaned up really nicely - no amount of money worths that) . I would say just go there and see what happens. Also, I heard that sometimes they don’t put u on accutaine in free facilities cuz they are afraid of “side effects” which are usually nothing serious. Whereas in private clinic u sign some paper that frees them of responsibility in a way so they are more likely to prescribe u accutaine + they are more likely to listen to you if you say that u want that medication and not another cream or vitamins In where I live an appointment in a clinic costs around 10-20€ - it’s like 2 days of eating so maybe try finding that 💰
What was your dosage and how many Months you took? I have already used accutane in past for 2 times for period of 3 months each but my acne came back now I'm on third round, can you please tell how you got rid of scaring?? I have scarring and pigmentation and using 20% azelaic acid once daily along accutane
I did 5 total months: month 1 30 mg, then 2-5 were 60 mg. I’ve since finished and don’t have persistent acne anymore. As for scarring, I use the Banish system!
it has been really good, i am on week 5 i think and my oily skin has gone away completely but I am still getting some breakouts but I am positive it will get better in the next month@@Zna_01
Hello. Is it best to take it once or twice a day,? I was prescribed 20 mg a day, so I thought 10’mg at daytime and 10mg at night? Tell me your experience please
hi, i am not sure of this answer since i was prescribed a higher dosage and was told by my doctor to take it either once or twice a day. i'd refer back to your doctor!
Im 17 and i took accutane, i finished my entire course eqrlier this year in January and wow it saved my life but recently ever since march i been constantly breaking out idk why, my derma says its hormonal and i dont know what skin care products to use anymore cuz before accutane i tried everythig but she said the acne is not really there. Its been like this for 4-5 months so I dont know what to do cuz I wanna start lasers for scars but still go active acne maybe its a hormone thing cuz im still 16, Please help! Sorry😅
Hi! I also had some mild acne return because it's hormonal. The best thing I did was simplify my skincare routine (which I have a video in the works for this), minimize stress (easier said than done but practicing mindfulness, light exercise, etc), and I think age had a factor in it. I'm 25 now. I am, however, about to start another round of "low dose" accutane, which should help eliminate any future acne but I do have to do it for about 12 consecutive months.
@@kellymeng Do you mind me asking what skincare routine you used? I also sometimes see my friends with acne because I got it at an early age so right now it’s completely normal to have. Right now I use cerave hydrating facial cleanser, neutrogena light weight gel moisturizer and some sunscreen. I put on clindamyacin gel in the morning and tretnoin in the night but I don’t know if that’s working. I been doing that for 5 months idk🥲
Hey Riley! Yes I have missed it for many days before (2 weeks lol) due to a pharmacy error. I did get 1 pimple back during the time, but I was only in my 2 or 3rd month in. Now I sometimes do skip a day or so on accident but haven't experienced any negative effects.
Isn’t starting 30 mg a lot! I am on my 3rd day the dr only prescribed 10 mg for me , but it worked for her I am thinking I should tell him to increase it
I’ve done both and I’d say it’s comparable amounts of dryness. Lotion would suffice in a pinch but a thick balm would be the best bet for sealing in moisture.
My accurate purge has been miserable. Not only has my skin gotten bad but it’s WAY worse than it ever was before i started accutane. I’m on month 2 and it’ been going on for about a month. I genuinely dont know what to do, and im considering just quitting accusante in general. Ugh
Don’t do it you will face purging for 5 months afterwards it slowley started to give you the result that you dreamed of I know it’s hard to be in a purging state but trust the process it take up to one year for some to get the result 😊
Don't quit. Continue taking your medication as prescribed by your doctor. If you have question speak to your doctor. The leaflet has all the side effects written on it. It's part of the process. Accutane is a last resort since nothing else helps.
absolutely not accutane is a long process, its a marathon not a sprint u have to trust the process it will take a while but it’s worth it. ur doctor can perscribe u accutane that has more isotretinoin in it
Hi i had 45 tablets with 20 mg.its before 6th April finished.after 1 months i wait..now i want to pagnant. Can i wait more or easily go to pagnant pls tell me.
My doctor consulted me to have oral isotretinoin 20 MG.....so can I use The Ordinary 7% toning solution and aha/bha peeling solution once a week if I take the peels?....please tell🥺
Hi Sana! I am not a doctor, but I am going to tell you what my doctor told me. She said that you should avoid any additional treatments when you're on Accutane since it is VERY strong already. Meaning if you use the toning solution or the peeling solution, it will do more harm than benefit. In fact, it would most likely cause a chemical burn! So please consult with your doctor. The only products I used during my treatment are moisturizers and an ointment such as Aquaphor or Vaseline. Everything else would be damaging to your already-thin skin. Good luck and when in doubt, always contact your doctor!
Bro why y’all on here asking this non doctor all these medical questions? Go talk to your doctor tf is wrong with y’all? Do y’all really just ask random people for medical advice and just go with what they say?

Its been like this for 4-5 months so I dont know what to do cuz I wanna start lasers for scars but still go active acne maybe its a hormone thing cuz im still 16, Please help!
Sorry😅
Btw the acne is not terribly bad but its everytime i wake up i get a few zits and they die down but new ones come
Hi! I also had some mild acne return because it's hormonal. The best thing I did was simplify my skincare routine (which I have a video in the works for this), minimize stress (easier said than done but practicing mindfulness, light exercise, etc), and I think age had a factor in it. I'm 25 now. I am, however, about to start another round of "low dose" accutane, which should help eliminate any future acne but I do have to do it for about 12 consecutive months.
@@kellymeng Do you mind me asking what skincare routine you used? I also sometimes see my friends with acne because I got it at an early age so right now it’s completely normal to have. Right now I use cerave hydrating facial cleanser, neutrogena light weight gel moisturizer and some sunscreen. I put on clindamyacin gel in the morning and tretnoin in the night but I don’t know if that’s working. I been doing that for 5 months idk🥲
hey! I just posted a vid literally today about this. I hope it helps. Lmk if you have more q’s
@@kellymeng Oh my bad thanks🤦🏻♂️😭
have you ever missed a dosage? & if so has it affected your outcome at all? i missed a couple days & scared it’s going to affect my outcome 😭
Hey Riley! Yes I have missed it for many days before (2 weeks lol) due to a pharmacy error. I did get 1 pimple back during the time, but I was only in my 2 or 3rd month in. Now I sometimes do skip a day or so on accident but haven't experienced any negative effects.
You are so beautiful 😍 thank you for the informations
Isn’t starting 30 mg a lot! I am on my 3rd day the dr only prescribed 10 mg for me , but it worked for her I am thinking I should tell him to increase it
Follow your doc’s orders! Everyone does something slightly different, I’d always defer to doc’s recommendation
Every 10-14 days i have to get my blood work done 😅
a necessary evil :(
Hii did u take 30mg twice or once a day ?
does lotion on lips then lip balm like vaseline avoid or lessen the affect?
im on tretenoion so im used to dry lips and dry skin but I don't know if it's tretonin level dry or will it be even worse?
I’ve done both and I’d say it’s comparable amounts of dryness. Lotion would suffice in a pinch but a thick balm would be the best bet for sealing in moisture.
My accurate purge has been miserable. Not only has my skin gotten bad but it’s WAY worse than it ever was before i started accutane. I’m on month 2 and it’ been going on for about a month. I genuinely dont know what to do, and im considering just quitting accusante in general. Ugh
Don’t do it you will face purging for 5 months afterwards it slowley started to give you the result that you dreamed of I know it’s hard to be in a purging state but trust the process it take up to one year for some to get the result 😊
Please don't stop this is your journey ...you are almost there..the result will be worth it..Patience forget about people' remember your journey
I hope you didn’t give up!
Update??
Don't quit. Continue taking your medication as prescribed by your doctor. If you have question speak to your doctor. The leaflet has all the side effects written on it. It's part of the process. Accutane is a last resort since nothing else helps.
60 mg, Im 80kg on 20mg. Guess there's levels to it
definitely different levels for it!
where did you go for labwork?
I went to LabCorp for my bloodwork!
Will it actually cure for real?
Yes!
damn, if u want accutane in europe it goes like this: "go to dermatologist - sup bro, gimme some isotretinoin, no worries bro here you go"
Europe is a big place with many many countries and we don't say sup bro, in Europe.
Did u take 30mg twice a day or once
as prescribed by doctor. 30mg is usually one tablet.
Your skin care routine
Can you please remove the music in the background? It would be better❤
noted for future :)
MOAR UPDATES
SEE YOU SOON 4 UPDATES
BRO MY HAIR IS GOING FROM ISOTRETINOIN PILL WILL IT COME BACK OR NOT PLEASE TELL ME??? 😭😭😭
You should probably ask your doctor about this and not someone on TH-cam.
Can i take 10 pill a day my skin Is very very very very oily
I’d consult with your doctor!
Wanna die 😅
absolutely not accutane is a long process, its a marathon not a sprint u have to trust the process it will take a while but it’s worth it. ur doctor can perscribe u accutane that has more isotretinoin in it
once you stop taking oral isotretinoin or even lower the dosage oiliness will return/ so it's not a solution to get rid of oiliness
did you have to go on birth control? sorry if that’s too personal of a question
no worries at all -- i did not but you are supposed to be on 2 forms of birth control.
Hi i had 45 tablets with 20 mg.its before 6th April finished.after 1 months i wait..now i want to pagnant. Can i wait more or easily go to pagnant pls tell me.
I'd consult your doctor!
Dosage????
I was on 30 mg month 1, then 60 mg month 2-4!

My doctor consulted me to have oral isotretinoin 20 MG.....so can I use The Ordinary 7% toning solution and aha/bha peeling solution once a week if I take the peels?....please tell🥺
Hi Sana! I am not a doctor, but I am going to tell you what my doctor told me. She said that you should avoid any additional treatments when you're on Accutane since it is VERY strong already. Meaning if you use the toning solution or the peeling solution, it will do more harm than benefit. In fact, it would most likely cause a chemical burn! So please consult with your doctor.
The only products I used during my treatment are moisturizers and an ointment such as Aquaphor or Vaseline. Everything else would be damaging to your already-thin skin.
Good luck and when in doubt, always contact your doctor!
@@kellymeng Thank you so much ❤
Please I want to know if can I get accutane in china ??
Treatment of Accutane is temporary but the side effects tend to stay forever
That scares me I am just trying it 😅
this is a myth lol, also this is incredibly rare but that they have to warn you for possible symptoms
alcohol is super important 🤣
Dd
Bro why y’all on here asking this non doctor all these medical questions? Go talk to your doctor tf is wrong with y’all?
Do y’all really just ask random people for medical advice and just go with what they say?
true lol
I know it's ridiculous. Not just here but all videos on youtube. Ask questions about the healing process but why ask about dosages etc
