howl.me/cldm3fJfpRJ - Retinoid: Adapalene 0.1% Gel (Available in the US only). Topical Retinoids are a game-changer when it comes to pimples or acne treatment. They help decrease pore obstruction, decrease inflammation and decrease oil production while increasing skin cell turnover which helps prevent new acne bumps. Don't waste your money on any retinoid. You should go for Adapalene 0.1% which is a topical Retinoid that’s FDA approved for acne treatment and available to buy over the counter if you’re watching in the US. Anywhere else in the world its prescription only, so speak to your healthcare professional. Please remember Adapalene and all retinoids are not recommended for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

If you’re about to go on acutane just remember to keep Carmex on you at all times and drink lots of water. I went on acutane for 7 months and went from pimples the size of quarters to a completely clear face so just hang in there.
Thank you for this comment. I keep reading people getting "the worst breakout ever" comment taking accutane. My face no need any more ugly pimples... My first appointment will be next wed. Hope my skin clear up soon
Thank you for the encouragement I’m kind of scared but everyone is saying it’s worth it so I’m putting my trust in my doctors and those who’ve actually tried it 😬😬😬
I literally owe my life to this treatment. I was super depressed and hade an extreme lack of self confidence due to many factors but mostly my acne that I dealt with for years. Suicidal thoughts every night type shit. Lied to my doctor when she asked if I had depression (cos apparently they think isotretinoin causes depression) so I could take this stuff and within a year my skin was clear (still some scarring but fuck it still way better than what I was dealing with before). I don’t like thinking about what-ifs but I do have a feeling I wouldn’t be here today anymore if I didn’t finally take it when I did. So if anyone is on the fence about it, do it. There is nothing more important in life than your looks and self confidence.
I saw my dermatologist when I was 15 or 16, and I used to get cystic acne breakouts. My face was pretty red and sensitive. My dermatologist would drain my cysts and they just kept coming back. She recommended I try Accutane and it dried my face and lips out. It caused my cystic acne to get puss filled and after my skin had time to get used to it, I started clearing up. I would always be shy and cover my breakouts with my hands and foundation. My face was super sensitive as it needed time to heal up. I'd say by the 6th month, my face had healed. I always thought I would have crater scars from my cystic acne but I never did, thankfully! I would recommend Accutane to anyone dealing with severe and uncontrollable breakouts. It completely changed my high school years. I never had any cystic acne since I took Accutane. It's life changing.
hi! i badly wanted to try isotret but my mom wouldnt let me cause of our history with depression, and i was recently diagnosed with anxiety attacks. im taking tretinoin for almost 3 months now, but i think it does nothing to my skin aside from sensitivity, itchiness, and more pimples.
Cashew Nut the inside of my nose gets dry and scabby and bleeds when I blow it :/ my arms and hands get blisters and the sides of my mouth are torn from being dry so eating spicy stuff stings. I’ve also been prone to infections and sickness way more than I was before. But my face is totally clear and gorgeous now
@@nekkobat6876 I've been on it for one month been so so dry, eyes are dry my hands are getting cuts in them I am prone to ezcema tho. And lower pains are so so bad for me
I found from using accutane, the dry lips are best solved by using caramax, it's the best at moisturizing lips. Do it before you go to bed and in the morning and just reapply throughout the day.

@@zainabatlas5518 I am using Accutane 20mg,from the 1st day,now I am using it for about 1month and 2 weeks,I guess that my doctor will suggest to me to use it again for another month,and thank u sooooooo much for replying to my comment,because I was so worried about my hair,I knew that the Accutane it is causing my hair to fall but I was not sure would the hair come out again,🤗😍
@David M so I have a question I recently started taking them last week I'm 16 im on 20mg I'm taking them for 4 days now and so far I haven't noticed anything except dry lips not that much tho and the question is when am I gonna start noticing results 🙁because right now I feel like like nothing has changed
Samira Islam it does help, at least for me, my hyperpigmentation has definitely cooled down ever since I’ve been using it tremendously, but it’s still noticeable. But then again, I’ve only been on accutane for a month and like 2 weeks. Overall, it has helped, a lot, but hasn’t completely cured it, yet.
To all who are too afraid for side effects to start accutane: I'm on roaccutane week 5 and honestly so far the best choice I made. I was prepared for the worst, but somehow my skin, which has been suffering from acne for 7 years (cystic, blackheads, oily skin), already started to improve after two weeks. I am very lucky I did not experience a purge (not yet atleast). After 4 weeks I don't have any cystic acne anymore but only get the usual smalls pimples. I did take doxycycline before, but this did not really improve my skin. Now I have soft skin, my blackheads start to disappear, no new cyctic pimples (I used to get one every day) but a lot of scarring left. Only side effect I have noticed so far is dry lips. I have a lot of months left to reach accumulative dosis but I am sure it will be more than worth it afterwards. So, my advice is to just try it out! I was always afraid to take it but my skin has not looked as good as it does today in years. Also, use aquaphor and rosehip oil by the ordinary to prevent dryness!
Currently finishing up my final month of Doxycycline and I've still been getting some acne, although not as severe as before. I think I might have to go on Accutane and from the way you described your acne being, sounds very similar to mine. How has the Accutane treatment been going for you?
I'm about to start roaccutane i have had acne for 3 years i just hope i dont purge to bad and have at least mild side effects i was just wondering has your skin cleared up and has it stayed clear(if you have stopped using roaccutane)

I'm about to be on accutane and I've been worried about some of the serious side effects that comes with it but after reading some of the comments I feel more confident.
same here! I’m starting mine tomorrow. I was actually terrified, but doing some more research and hearing other people’s stories made me feel a lot better.
I used Accutane, but it all came back about 5 months later. I'm on my 2nd round of it and OOOH BOY it's kicking my ass. I'm experiencing almost every single major side effect...dry skin, scalp, nose, hands, headaches, joint pain, back pain, mood swings, depression, etc. I'm on my last month so cross your fingers I won't have to get back onto Accutane a 3rd time...Great video! I used a lot of the same tips. One tip my doc told me was to put Vaseline/Aquaphor inside my nose overnight if the dryness was bad. AQUAPHOR IS YOUR BEST FRIEND. I don't know of anything else that moisturized me as well as that. Good luck to everyone on their skin journey!
Just a tip for everyone who's having a lot of pain in their knees, back, and other joints: drink at least 2 liters of water a day. And even if you don't believe me, just try it for 2 days in a row and I promise you it's gone. I once saw it in a random video on TikTok, and it has helped me so much!!!
@@ivanatokic2370 I don’t particularly remember it helps but did it anyway. What kinda helps for me is doing workout stretches and get enough sleep. Also, I just want to share that I do still get a breakout here and there one year post accutane, so I don’t think it’s a longterm solution and I don’t want to go on another cycle again.

I'm 26 and only started getting severe acne when I turned 19. I'm 4 weeks into my dose and I already can feel and notice a difference and it's amazing. I've got pretty chapped lips right now but it pales in comparison to the benefits. I get really intense cystic acne on my face that would be unbearably painful (pulsing pain and agitation without even having to touch my face) and now it's completely gone. First time in my life since 19 that I've had a few solid weeks of painfree acne and it's beautiful. I'm still getting a odd white head but I haven't had a cyst for two weeks now!
Thanks for sharing your story :D My acne got worse last year but thankfully I met with a dermatologist who recommended I start accutane. Hopefully next month I am able to start my medication which won't be easy but really worth it. So excited to finally have my skin properly heal.
@@dxniela03 How is it going?! I'm on month 3 and a bit and I've been completely clear skinned. I've literally only had one pimple and it was because of work I had a bunch of mud on my fave and couldn't clean myself until I got home. I couldn't be happier with my results. I also don't have any side effects so far, I know some people complain about achey joints and backs but I'm all good.
I began taking Accutane one month ago and will continue for a full course of six months. During the first month, I took 20mg per day, and now in the second month, I have increased my dosage to 30mg for the remainder of the course. In the first month, I experienced some dryness in my skin, mild joint pain, and a slight dryness in my mouth. However, in the second month, I have noticed that my skin is starting to look more radiant, and I have not had any more acne, except for three that disappeared quickly. Overall, choosing to take Accutane was the best decision I have made.
Your skin will become EXTREMELY sensitive. I’ve been on accurate for 6 months and I accidentally switched up a facial cleanser (for showers) with a regular moisturizer. I was red as a tomato for at least 5 days and some of my acne came back (it went away duhh). Just make sure you’re careful with your skin.
Avoid taking too much sweet food and alcohol. It raises your cholesterol levels. Can be bad for pancreas if too high. Liver may also reject the medication. Early blood tests are a must.
@@AbrahamThePharmacist I would like to use accutane but I'm not sure how to ask my dermatologist about getting put on it. I don't want to be turned down because I'm tired of the acne and hyperpigmentation I've had since elementary school and I'm 21. I've been put on Epiduo in middle school, and doxycycline last year some time and it hasn't worked. After I ran out, the acne would come right back (not that it even left, anyway). My dermatologist put me on something else that I can't remember but I started having GI issues. After that, he told me to just see him once a year which isn't good enough for me and my problem wasn't solved. Also, he didn't tell me what kind of acne I have or why I've had it for so long. Our appointments never lasted longer than 10 mins. I just want something that will work.
Im here bcs I started accutane yesterday! My dermatologist supplied me with a lip balm and 2 moisturizers and a serum to prepare for the extreme dryness. Im happy to finally be on accutane bcs antibiotics dont work on my acne anymore.
@@karinanai my skin is improving although it was purging for a few weeks. Everything is dry and i experience a slight back pain due to this medication and i did a blood test it turned out that accutane slightly increased my cholesterol level but nothing on the dangerous side its just that my dermatologist refused to increase my dosage fr this month. All these are considered normal if youre on accutane but thats all from me
I took my 30th pill (40mg) today. Also got my blood work report! Within a month, my Triglycerides went from 60 to 100mg/dL. LDL- from 90 to 110 mg/dL. HA1C- from 5.2 to 5.4% Total cholesterol is 165 which is normal. And everything else in the blood report is ideal too! I have a healthy lifestyle. Eat pretty clean, a lot of good fats, moderate protein, low carbs and no sugar at all. exercise 2-3 times a week. Accutane certainly did raise those levels I mentioned above. 4 more months to go and it'll be alright! Good luck everyone! 😊💪
@@eshajain7915 my face is so much better. Thank you for asking, I do still experience darkening of my skin but I think by winter my complexion should be back since it’s summer now. I have one more month left guys!!!!
DO NOT drink alcohol or get pregnant on this! Keep lip balm with you at all times. Have eye drops by your bed for use in the morning. As the dose Increases you may have aches and pains, have some painkillers at the ready. Finally - if your skin is so bad that you have committed to go through this then these side effects are a minor blip in relation to the rest of your life. Do what you are comfortable with ❤️❤️❤️
I start accutane in a month and im so excited because ive strugled with acne since i was 13 (im almost 18 now). I wouldn't say my acne is horrible but its pretty bad.. and sometimes its worse, sometimes its better. Ive tried everything, from curology to proactive to dermatologist perscriptions to cetaphil etc. my skin has always been so sensitive and cant handle anything without breaking out. i tried out makeup a while ago because all my friends wear it and it just made me break out too. acne literally shatters my self confidence, and ive been working on myself so much but my acne never seems to go away and its really affecting me now. i hope accutane works for me.. im just rlly scared about the side effects but i have friends who went on accutane and it completely cleared their skin. fingers crossed :)
I ate isotretinoin during 10 months. And now, about 1,5 years later, I’ve started to get breakouts once again. And this freaking affects me badly. I’ve never felt worse both physically and psychologically, but I pushed through 10 months of not only dryness over every centimeter of my body, but I couldn’t exercise because my muscles and joints were unimaginably fragile, I couldn’t drink with my friends for the entire process and the need to always keep the pills and moisturizers with me wherever I went was such a stress factor on me. I lived through hell for almost a year, the dryness in my face and eyes have stayed with me ever since, I’ve also started to shed a lot of hair since I stopped, now I’m starting to believe those are permanent side-effects. And even though I went through with all of this, and still am going through.. WHY me.. WHAT have I done to deserve this?! Acne doesn’t even run in my family. It’s a fucking curse
@@MrFoodMan66 it comes and goes but no it has not disappeared. I’ve spoken to my doctor which gave me a prescription on a new salve. I don’t quite remember the dosage since it was some time ago, maybe 80mg / day at the highest point… if that’s normal
Are you doing better? Im on 2 weeks on accutane. i dont feel any side effects and im still working out. I hope this is a gane changer for me. I know how you feel
@@maltehaggkvist8467 jesus christ 80mg is a super high dosage. Like super super. I’m almost sure that you would have got the same positive effects with 40 or even 20 mg per day and it would have really scaled down the side effects. It’s actually really weird that your doctor wrote you a such a high dosage. I’m a 80kg male and my doctor wrote me a 10mg which is really low so now she wants to up it to 20 and she thinks that it will do the job without too many side effects.
I had no idea what the side effects were, and had to discontinue after a few months. I started getting some side effects like bloodshot eyes, pains in my organs, suicidal tendencies, dry face and throat. Now going to go get checked for high cholesterol since that's another side effect. Mind you I'm pretty healthy haven't drank or smoke in over 4 years, I drink lots of water, and workout so this came as a shock how I was feeling.

I am on 40g isotretinoin since 6 weeks and all i have is a dry skin. I was scared by all the negative reviews, however I don’t have any and I am sad I didn’t took it earlier.
8.9M views yup!! A lot of my acne has gone down and I too am just dealing with mostly scars but I still get some pimples just less than what I had but it has helped a lot!!
I am on it and my scalp was so itchy and flaky but I went to lush and bought their soak and float bar, it has my scalp back to normal! I just use the shampoo bar first and then my normal shampoo and conditioner afterwards! I HIGHLY recommend it it’s amazing
I just started a week ago. Just now realized how much more water I need to drink. And I was getting huge nose bleeds these last few days until I started taking care of the dry nose. Hope everything goes well.
Very helpful info thank you. Avoiding creamy barrier dealing lotions is the one thing I don’t agree with. ... The acid mantle on the surface of the face needs to be soothed while accutane or tret cause dryness & potentially extreme sensitivity.
iGoHam personally I took it while depressed but I was also on anti-depression medication which helped. Bottom line is, if you believe your mental state of mind is healthy and in a good place and you can handle it then take it otherwise wait because it can be a mentally and physically debilitating drug
I hope this helps someone....I thought I would have to try Accutane but I realized that it was several things, including.... my BB Cream, no kidding, and a GF of mine was using a BB Cream too that was giving her terrible horrible acne until I told her to throw it away and it cleared up. However, it can be metabolic, certain oils my body can't metabolize, such as Olive oil or any fried foods will give me a small pimple usually, but Olive oil will give me really deep, and really terrible cystic acne, also cheap chocolate, because it has wax, and cashews, as well as certain skin products, gave me acne. Testing out foods and oils to see which gave me acne, changing my skincare products and my diet plus being extra hygienic with my pillow covers, and learning seriously to never ever evverrrr touch my face, and take regular pro-biotics cleared it all up forever for me.
Literally been on it for 5 days . I’m paying attention to the difference in my body , so far not many yet . I’m starting get dry a little , so far thats it . I pray this works for me 🥺
@@_amybrown sorry I’m 5 months late . But yes you have to get it from the dermatologist, it’s process in order to take it . Especially for females we need blood work and pregnancy test and have to answer questions every month
had acne for like 6 years now went to dermatologist twice now i'm going to go the third time and tell them to give me accutane can't wait to start using something that actually works.
Hi Patricia I hope you are well. Thanks for the awesome comment as always. By the way did you see my last responding to comments video I responded to your comment. th-cam.com/video/TW7vtqjfx1Q/w-d-xo.html
I have been on Accutane for a month now! I haven’t see to much results yet, but my skin and lips are very dry so at list I know the medication is doing it’s job!!
Fred Barker there is still redness and I get some spots but noting like I use to! I’ll be on it for another 3 months and then kk my acne should be goon !
Lemon Boi I’m glad that your skin is better. I feel the only thing that might save me is accutane, as all teenage ages I had fine skin (maybe a couple spots but nothing much) but during the last few months when I’ve been 19 and turned 20 I broke out like crazy. I never used to have a skincare routine either so I doubt that’s going to sort my skin out now
Fred Barker you could be having an allergic reaction , you can get new ones at anytime, so go to ur doctor probs and cheak that out! Accutane is a very harsh drug and I would be lying if I said it has been easy! Make sure u have good people surrounding you and are prepared for ur skin to get a bit worse befour it gets better! I believe in you tho if I can do it you can do it !
For the first two weeks I was put on 40mg of isotretinoin, my hips would pretty much freeze up once I would lay down and try to sleep. It would be extremely painful to move even the slightest bit, and in order to get moving again, I would have to force myself through the extreme pain to a point where my hip joints would literally *POP!* I endured this for 2-3 days before calling my dermatologist, he told me to stop taking it. My hips slowly went back to normal after about a week and a half from when I stopped taking the isotretinoin. Took a whole month off before going back to see him, he tried putting me on some antibiotic which didn't work. So a month of that and I asked to be put back on isotretinoin but at a lower dose, he put me on 10mg a day, then month after that 20mg (10mg 2x a day), then to 30mg after that (10mg 3x a day), everything was good so far, until recently I developed palpitations!!!! So at the moment my cardiologist asked me to ask my dermatologist if I could take a month off to see if the palpitations stop. Scary stuff, I hope it stops it.
I thought I was the only one experiencing palpitations ! It's so scary felt like my heart is about to jump out of my chest I stopped taking the pill 2 months ago and its going back to normal now thank god
@@thegirlonthemove8465 Glad it's gotten back to normal for you! It really is scary; the thing that really sucks, is that the medication actually helps with my acne, and I can't have it =( . It has been about 2 and a half to 3 weeks off of it now, and the palpitations have seem to have gone away (so far). I originally started Isotretinoin in January of 2019, and the palpitations started back in March. I honestly didn't connect the two until I found a better cardiologist, who helped me connect the dots.
Ngl I stopped growing at 15 after accutane, Im decently tall because I grew early.. could be coincidence because the “permanent stunted bone growth” in teenagers was never proven
@@SirKolass 100% agree, my particular circumstance sometimes makes me wonder but then again, they are liable to state everything that can happen. Some people die from getting too tangled in their bedsheets, just because it's a possibility doesn't mean it's at all likely to occur.
@@choby8555 Fascinating you were given Accutane so early. My GPs told me to wait until I was out of High School because puberty and hormonal acne is a thing that one might just grow out of.
Dry lips, joint, muscle ,backpain and headache is serious from the last couple of days,i'm on my 70 days of Isotretinoin 20mg,and my acne is getting clear up,i uploaded some of my acne Journey
thanks for the advice, I'm about to start my accutane journey. Kinda nervous because I'm an athlete. Probably going to make a video of the transformation!!!
the *AcneCureOnline. Com* system REALLY helped me keep my skin under control on a LONG TERM basis without the side effects of drugs and most over the counters.
Hi, Abraham! Your tips are great, my doctor said the same about keeping my skin hydrated and protected(moisturizer and SPF). Patience is important during this treatment, also. I have experienced photophobia and night dizziness so I'm asking if these are short-term side effects. Thank you! Have a good day!

PLEASE don't take accutane!!!!( I took only 20 mg but even low dose was bad) I am very grateful I became aware early of the side effects in my second round of accutane which was 1 year after the first round. In the first round I took accutane for 5 months on low dose for mild/ moderate acne. It drys your body organs and has caused me mild Fatty Liver Disease(which I caught on early), irregular periods, a fibroadenoma which I have mistaken for malignancy and caused huge pain and anxiety for months. Alternative: Get an estrogen test and your doctor will prescribe supplements to balance your hormone levels, which in turn will clear up your face even better than accutane. I WISH I had known all of this earlier😭
I asked my dermo about the side effects and he said only dry lips and skin. When I questioned him about the other side effect’s, he got mad and questioned me. That’s when I knew to not take it. Thank you for the useful information!
Samescape dang bro im sorry to hear. im not one to speak since i haven’t taken it yet, but from what ive seen so far, beautiful face results will happen. praying for you man hope it gets better. thank you so much for the info
I’m about to start Accutane in a week for mild acne... I was on doxycycline and Tretinoin and went through a horrible purge stage with those... now, I would like to know if people always go through the purge stage with Accutane or can I luckily be an exception?
Hey man, I went through that purge with doxycycline and it didn’t rlly work, I tried photo dynamic therapy for 500 dollars and it didn’t work, I might be getting acutane soon.
Im a week in with Accutane and so far my only symptom is dry lips... Im also going through the purge stage, which is something I was worried about but I’m being patient and hoping this will be over soon
Patricia Munoz Same, I have mild stubborn acne. I’m one week and two days in. I too, I’m going through the purge stage. It’s discouraging sometimes but I just think of the end result. So far, the side effects I’ve noticed are dry lips and skin. I’m taking pics of myself to track my progress. Cheers.
@@danhernandez8597 how much milligrams does ur derma prescribed to you? Me 20mg once a day for 1 wk every month. Had an annoying purge since i take the med..and it irritates me a lot..
Just started my 3rd month on acutance, 40mg of it everyday. I don’t see the best results honestly, I still have big pimples forming on my cheeks, under my ears by my neck & jawline , and on the sides of the eyes area. I wash every night with a hydration cleaner and I use a moisturizer after. I don’t think I’m doing anything wrong I don’t know why it doesn’t seem to be working. Please leave any tips or tricks you used while on acutane that helped you when you were on it. Will update every month
@Skool Haze so right now I’m entering my 4th month and this has been the best month so far. Face got very smooth but still redness and marks, assuming some scars but a lot less breakouts. I was an idiot and missed my appointment the other day so I ran out of pills and am waiting until December 9th to get them again. Praying I don’t breakout or lose any progress. The progress from end of month 2 to end of month 3 was so different. Being patient is so key with this
I have been using accutane for almost 4 months now its amazing my acne has cleared a great deal.. The problem is my skin is not even.. It has black patches is there anything you can recommend?
@@spam9361 For me, my acne started disappearing about 1 months in. I'm currently on my 5th month of taking it. I do get nose bleeds, which is about the worst thing that's happened. Watch your cholesterol when taking this!
I was on accutane back in 2017 for abiut 6 months and went from having cystic acne and rosacea to having beautiful clear skin. I experienced every side effect in the book from mood changes to dry skin. However , about a 2 weeks after my last dosage i pretty much started to feel normal. Fast forward to present day i am restarting accutane as a 21 year old adult because of hormonal breakouts and acne scarring from over the years. Will update on what side effects (if any) i may encounter this time around. But yeah water and Carmex will be your bestie :)
Hi, Katya! I’m so happy for the results you had in 2017. I just wanted to ask something. Didn’t it clear out your skin completely? So does this mean that even though you had it years ago, you still could get breakouts?
@@iamleelanceYour first treatment could give you like ten years of clear skin. And then sometimes the pimples comes back. But it all depends on your diet as well. The main thing that gives me pimples is milk, cheese, sugar and chicken. My first treatment was 20mg Roaccutane for 3 months in 2009. It was really good to me. I just finished my second treatment now in 2023 April. I was using Oratane, it was not good on my bones it gave me stiff joints. But my skin is clear. So these treatments are not once off for everyone.
Im on Isotretinoin and I’ve been experiencing consistent chest pains. My derm told me to ask my PCP, and he said what Im experiencing is Costochondritis (inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs and sternum). My doctor said it probably was not related to the isotretinoin, but my instincts tell me it is, especially when bone/joint/muscle pain is a common side effect. Have you ever had patients experience chest pain while on accutane? I have no other body aches besides my chest.
On my 5 month right now & I’ve been chest & my whole body aching. I haven’t been breathing to well either. But isotretinoin really clears up those breakouts though🤷🏾♂️
I’ve had it since Late October. I’ve started to have real bad chest pains, heavy breathing, dryness all over my body and a bad rash in the form of ringworms. Gotta check out tf is going on
@@muz9663 dude, same here. I started in October & I have the same symptoms you do besides the rash, mines is eczema on my hands. The breathing gets pretty scary, wondering if I caught the damn covid🤦🏾♂️
@@muz9663 I actually was really sick in March of 2020 & was having really bad breathing problems. Thought I had covid then, but they weren’t testing at the time. Once I started taking isotretinoin, I started having breathing problems again. But not as bad as in March. I’m in my 5th month and just have one more month to go, so I don’t want to stop.
Thanks a lot I use isotretinoin since 5 days and for now only my nose is dry and I have a bit pain in muscles.. but i have to be patient and I now I will get better.
Hii, im on 2nd day of isotretinoin n idk what to expect next. Plz share me ur experience. My forehead acne is increased mayb bcz of the facewash. How much days did it take to for ur acne to clear up ?
I’m on 3 months 40mg a day. Cholesterol is high now and losing more hair then ever, eyes are dry to the point where I wake up with blood shot eyes and my lips are never ending peeling cracks and swollen. :( I drink a gallon of water a day and I’m a vegetarian plus I exercise... also my back has been hurting me recently specially when I’m trying to sleep . I’m about to give up on accutane
A Tieaa my cholesterol is high and I’m on my third month 20mg I feel back and shoulders ache and I get tired when I workout.. I’m ok with all this pain but not with the high cholesterol level :( did you figure out a way to treat with this problem?
Ima9 I ended up quitting accutane :( BUT you dont have to quit it if you go on a strict diet and keep exercise but maybe exercise more. Make sure whatever you eat is cholesterol free. And whatever you do DONT get on pills to keep your cholesterol low. You will add more damage to the body that way. Wishing you lots of luck and health oh and clear skin :)
Ima9 also I quit because my back was hurting me so much, also I stated to get sick at night and my dermatologist didn’t seem to care he just wanted to add more pills to my symptoms . I am not trying to die at my age lol I am too young and not that stupid to be taking that many pills 💊 unfortunately accutane is not for everyone 😭
A Tieaa lol same as my dermatologist he wants me to take cholesterol pills! I’m not convinced about that 😕 I’m depressed because I already don’t eat dairy I eat healthy before I start taking roaccutane , I will give it a chance and try the diet I hope it works with me
Hey Abraham, great video thanks for all those useful tips! ❤️🤗 I am in my mid 30s and suffer from PCOS, due to which I developed painful hormonal cyctic acne all over my Jawline band and chin. I never had acne troubles until now! Can I start off myself on Accutane?! Also I plan to conceive in coming 6-8 months period. Is it safe to start Accutane now?!
Please dont. If you plan to conceive, accutane is the worst you could do. This is why it is heavily regulated and you have to be on 2 different types of birth control because it will cause defects on the fetus if you do get pregnant while on it.
I just finished week 1 of isotretenoin and I’m having nose bleeds, dryness in my nose, eyes, throat, mouth, and face, and joint pain. I’m scared that accutane is going to hurt me, but I’m just trying to remind myself that these are normal side effects and that it’s not going to do harm. Any advise?

I have a question🙋♂️🙋🙋♀️ I have taking accutane. Today I consulted a doctor, he said you could use Vbeam (laser treatment). Before i have heard that while on accutane, don't use laser treatment. But doc said that recently even if on accutane,you don't take bad affect(more redness etc…).Which do you think is correct?
I did a cycle of Accutane and it was great but unfortunately a few years later (~4) the acne did come back (not nearly as severe as pre-Accutane), but more than what I would define as the occasional pimple. The dermatologist did say that it's not uncommon (roughly 30%) of cases to need a 2nd or even 3rd treatment so I might be doing another round. The first time I didn't get many side effects at all so I hope this time around it's similar if I decide to go at it again.
same. mine came back after about 4 ish yrs and the hyperpigmentation became too much to bear so i'm on my 2nd go at it. just started month 2. I havent had a pimple on my face in weeks and it's been amazing (aside from the joint pain and badly dry lips, ofc). really hoping this lasts forever bc the lack of oiliness and fully clear skin is such a dream.
@@christodang Is it common to get mild shortness of breath or pain in chest coz i have initially on prescription of my dermatologist took for 2 months and didn't face any side effects later i discontinued and now after a year pimples has once again poped up ( not as severe as pre dose or treatment) so i again started isotretinoin (10 mg) but this tym i have been going thru dry skin and this pain
@@letitbe3494 I would consult your dermatologist as everyone reacts differently to the drugs. I didn't have any side effects from isotretenoin aside from the usual dry skin/lips.
For all those suffering from chapped lips and nose bleeds.. try massaging your belly button area with coconut oil/ olive oil or clarified butter everyday.. it's great
Doctor accutane is the cause of DUPA pattern hair loss? Im onthis case and i found a lot of People on forums about hair loss who has this same problem... Does it have a cure? I read about finasferide and minoxidil doesnt work in this kind of pattern help please and sorry for my english is not my Mother lenguage
I know hairloss is rare but it happens. I was on accutane for 6 months. I was on a low dose 40mg. I would say I lost 30% of my hair and my hair up front looks super thin. Its been a month since my last dose and it hasnt improved. Sont take accutane. Pimples or being bald at 25.... yeah not worth it
bro u 14 the heck u need accutane for.. ure still in growth phase rn teenagers are supposed to have acne on their face. this med is for adult in their 20s and 30s with severe acne problem
Please wish me luck. I’m about to use this for 26 weeks. My body is very weak wish me luck so my face could be healed. My face is not full of acne but we all know this needs a treatment to stop it. Wish me luck again pleaseeeee. My doctor stoped me from taking biotin and I will only take this. 🤦🏻♀️😞

Hey love I just wanted to say that this happens to so many people who start isotretinoin, i believe my dermatologist called it a ‘purge’! Even though it’s annoying, it’s your skin cleansing out all the yuck stuff so that it can keep going uphill from here! Best wishes.
Yes I'm also taking it and within the first month my skin has been horrible. My dermatologist advised me that the 3rd month will be nothing more but improvement
I'm using the Bates Method on a daily basis to improve my eye sight which includes up to 5 minutes of direct sunlight exposure to my face everyday the method is used. Is this safe if I have SPF 20 from Tiege Hanley's am moisturizer? Also, is it safe to be using any skin care products other than face wash and face moisturizer?
Thank u so much to share such a good words with us. I have started already before one month ago my face is going very dry can i take 2 tablets per day and what about the using om emtpy stomach or after meal,?

I'm in my 3rd month treatment of oratane (isotretinoin 10mg). Just gotten my blood test with few parameters out of range. I've never have this issue before. So quite unsure if this is the effect from consuming oratane as I didn't do blood test before treatment. 1. Uric acid 0.34mmol/l (almost exceed the normal range) 2. Total cholesterol 5.4mmol/l 3. Non-HDL 3.7mmol/l 4. LDL 3.1mmol/l 5. Urine pH 6.0 First 2month daily consumption and starting 3rd month in alternate day. I don't really suffer severe dryness probably because with at least 1.5L water daily and prescribed face wash, moisturizer and sunscreen from dermatologist. I feel chest pain once on 2nd month, other time I feel body soreness especially just before and after sleep. Hopefully could get more data for judgement. Be beautiful and healthy is our goal
after waiting since October 2019 for a referral to dermatology (complicated by my history of mental health issues and of course 'rona), I've taken my first tablet today! My two younger sisters who have had courses of isotretinoin for their persistent and aggressive acne, and now its my turn. I'm so sick of hating my face and upper body everytime I see it so hopefully this will help 🤞
Aquaphor is really Good for your lips And skin I’m on 30mg now (3months) my side effects: 1) Hair loss(my Hair is thin and my thick eyebrows are thinner now) 2)dry skin and lips 3)paler skin
Hi Mr. Abraham, i know patients can't do laser procedures while on isotretinoin but would they be able to do ultrasonic cavitation on say the abdominal area?? Thank you for any feedback!
I just started taking this a few days ago and I was wondering if working out will increase the pain that may be caused. Does anyone know if it does or not?
Logan Ellis it will increase pain, mostly in the back. I’ve been on it for about a month and regularly go to the gym doing heavy weights. I’ve definitely noticed the joint pain but it’s not bad enough to make me stop going. If you want you could try pain killers but it’s up to you to decide. Honestly just keep doing your workouts and if it gets to bad then stop. If it doesn’t then keep going
I’m over 40 and have suffered from acne all of my life since I was a teen. I’m going to be prescribed this next month but I’m hella worried about the side effects. Is there a woman over 40 that has used this? Can you share your experience?

howl.me/cldm3fJfpRJ - Retinoid: Adapalene 0.1% Gel (Available in the US only).
Topical Retinoids are a game-changer when it comes to pimples or acne treatment. They help decrease pore obstruction, decrease inflammation and decrease oil production while increasing skin cell turnover which helps prevent new acne bumps.
Don't waste your money on any retinoid. You should go for Adapalene 0.1% which is a topical Retinoid that’s FDA approved for acne treatment and available to buy over the counter if you’re watching in the US. Anywhere else in the world its prescription only, so speak to your healthcare professional.
Please remember Adapalene and all retinoids are not recommended for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding. If you have sensitive skin you should apply a very little amount of the Adapalene 2-3 times a week and gradually increase usage until you build tolerance for daily use as it can cause dryness when you begin. Always read the information leaflet before using any medication and speak to your healthcare professional.
If you’re about to go on acutane just remember to keep Carmex on you at all times and drink lots of water. I went on acutane for 7 months and went from pimples the size of quarters to a completely clear face so just hang in there.
Thank you for this comment. I keep reading people getting "the worst breakout ever" comment taking accutane. My face no need any more ugly pimples... My first appointment will be next wed. Hope my skin clear up soon
yipeeyaya good luck
@@biggiecheese3188 thanks. But i'm still very worry of the "get worst before it gets better" phrase. Zzzzz
yipeeyaya It might get a little worse in the beginning but it will be worth it at the end
Thank you for the encouragement I’m kind of scared but everyone is saying it’s worth it so I’m putting my trust in my doctors and those who’ve actually tried it 😬😬😬
I literally owe my life to this treatment. I was super depressed and hade an extreme lack of self confidence due to many factors but mostly my acne that I dealt with for years. Suicidal thoughts every night type shit. Lied to my doctor when she asked if I had depression (cos apparently they think isotretinoin causes depression) so I could take this stuff and within a year my skin was clear (still some scarring but fuck it still way better than what I was dealing with before). I don’t like thinking about what-ifs but I do have a feeling I wouldn’t be here today anymore if I didn’t finally take it when I did. So if anyone is on the fence about it, do it. There is nothing more important in life than your looks and self confidence.
Today is my day one 🤞🏼 and i am nervous but your comment comforted me
Literally the same. My school life was fucked. It’s such a shame I didn’t find accutane sooner - but it’s a fucking miracle drug IMO.
@@AnkitaSchouhan seriously, it’s worth it.
@@mra2zee yes 🙌🏼 can see a major difference in just 2 weeks.
Im so happy for you now my turn have had since i eas 17 im 30 now
I saw my dermatologist when I was 15 or 16, and I used to get cystic acne breakouts. My face was pretty red and sensitive. My dermatologist would drain my cysts and they just kept coming back. She recommended I try Accutane and it dried my face and lips out. It caused my cystic acne to get puss filled and after my skin had time to get used to it, I started clearing up. I would always be shy and cover my breakouts with my hands and foundation. My face was super sensitive as it needed time to heal up. I'd say by the 6th month, my face had healed. I always thought I would have crater scars from my cystic acne but I never did, thankfully! I would recommend Accutane to anyone dealing with severe and uncontrollable breakouts. It completely changed my high school years. I never had any cystic acne since I took Accutane. It's life changing.
hi! i badly wanted to try isotret but my mom wouldnt let me cause of our history with depression, and i was recently diagnosed with anxiety attacks. im taking tretinoin for almost 3 months now, but i think it does nothing to my skin aside from sensitivity, itchiness, and more pimples.
Hey I’m thinking after starting it .. is there some concerns I should about ?
Your acne come back after accurate
Do u have any child?
Was it 10mg or 20mg?
I’ve been on accutane for 3 months and I have officially become a dried up crusty raisin with back pain lol
Cashew Nut the inside of my nose gets dry and scabby and bleeds when I blow it :/ my arms and hands get blisters and the sides of my mouth are torn from being dry so eating spicy stuff stings. I’ve also been prone to infections and sickness way more than I was before. But my face is totally clear and gorgeous now
Do you still have back pain?
@@nekkobat6876 I've been on it for one month been so so dry, eyes are dry my hands are getting cuts in them I am prone to ezcema tho. And lower pains are so so bad for me
@@nekkobat6876 have you seen any improvement in your acne?
Its better than being a greaseball
I am a pharmacist from Hong Kong and I appreciate your effort on making so many videos on the medical knowledge! Respect!
Thank you 😊
Accutane can buy any pharmacy? Im here in hongkong
咁癲
What dose should we take in begining
I found from using accutane, the dry lips are best solved by using caramax, it's the best at moisturizing lips. Do it before you go to bed and in the morning and just reapply throughout the day.

I agree Carmex works for my lips. I was using chapstick, Vaseline, and Aquafora did they did nothing.
I’m on month 2 Accutane and it really cleared my skin from acne I’m so happy with it the only side effect I have is dry lips.
yes me too,can I ask u a question while I was using the Accutane treatment,I am now on 2 mounths using it but does Accutane makes the hair fall out
Rabbit Fox yes I had sever hair fall but I lowered my dosage now I’m in 20mg and it works well
@@zainabatlas5518 I am using Accutane 20mg,from the 1st day,now I am using it for about 1month and 2 weeks,I guess that my doctor will suggest to me to use it again for another month,and thank u sooooooo much for replying to my comment,because I was so worried about my hair,I knew that the Accutane it is causing my hair to fall but I was not sure would the hair come out again,🤗😍

I've been on accutane for a week now and I'm so excited to finally start seeing results! gonna be posting updates on my channel.
2003 Kid so far I only have dry lips but nothing major
David M thanks man I was already prepared before I took my first pill. Stocked up on aqua phor and lotions lol
@David M so I have a question I recently started taking them last week I'm 16 im on 20mg I'm taking them for 4 days now and so far I haven't noticed anything except dry lips not that much tho and the question is when am I gonna start noticing results 🙁because right now I feel like like nothing has changed
Dany Casas I’m on it too but it’s only been like 13 days, hows it gone for you ?
Samira Islam it does help, at least for me, my hyperpigmentation has definitely cooled down ever since I’ve been using it tremendously, but it’s still noticeable. But then again, I’ve only been on accutane for a month and like 2 weeks. Overall, it has helped, a lot, but hasn’t completely cured it, yet.
To all who are too afraid for side effects to start accutane: I'm on roaccutane week 5 and honestly so far the best choice I made. I was prepared for the worst, but somehow my skin, which has been suffering from acne for 7 years (cystic, blackheads, oily skin), already started to improve after two weeks. I am very lucky I did not experience a purge (not yet atleast). After 4 weeks I don't have any cystic acne anymore but only get the usual smalls pimples. I did take doxycycline before, but this did not really improve my skin. Now I have soft skin, my blackheads start to disappear, no new cyctic pimples (I used to get one every day) but a lot of scarring left. Only side effect I have noticed so far is dry lips. I have a lot of months left to reach accumulative dosis but I am sure it will be more than worth it afterwards. So, my advice is to just try it out! I was always afraid to take it but my skin has not looked as good as it does today in years. Also, use aquaphor and rosehip oil by the ordinary to prevent dryness!
Currently finishing up my final month of Doxycycline and I've still been getting some acne, although not as severe as before. I think I might have to go on Accutane and from the way you described your acne being, sounds very similar to mine. How has the Accutane treatment been going for you?
Does accutane remove dark spots?
Does it remove the scars?
@@fernandoestevez8565 nigga I don’t kno
I'm about to start roaccutane i have had acne for 3 years i just hope i dont purge to bad and have at least mild side effects i was just wondering has your skin cleared up and has it stayed clear(if you have stopped using roaccutane)
Dry and itchy scalp - use head and shoulders shampoo for itchy scalp, works wonders

David M i got that scratching and bleeding before I started accutane 😂😂 and no shampoo or conditioner works at all
David M yeah I’ve tried those products and even a super strong anti dandruff from my doctor and it’s gotten worse with every time I try to fix it
David M and yeah ik I only wash my hair twice to not dry it the fuck out or else
I honestly thought I’m going insane when my scalp became very dry in just a week
Scratch that eight glass of water a day myth and start drinking 32 glass of water per 12 hours lol
Nah seriously drink a lot of water
Dude I’ve been so much thirstier than I was before, it’s wild. I’ve been drinking a water bottle every half hour
@@nekkobat6876 yeaaa me to , when i started this cure at first 10d nothing happened but at day 15 shittt broo i was so fucking thirsty 😂😂😂
I have Hormonal acne problem but thanks to *AcneCureOnline. Com* That helps me to get rid of that...Recommended.....
U killed me 🤣🤣
Day 7 of drinking a gallon of water a day. It has been helping
I'm about to be on accutane and I've been worried about some of the serious side effects that comes with it but after reading some of the comments I feel more confident.
I just started too. I couldn't sleep last night for some reason but other than I've only had dry skin
same here! I’m starting mine tomorrow. I was actually terrified, but doing some more research and hearing other people’s stories made me feel a lot better.
How is your skin now? Update?
A thin layer of vitamin E oil from a capsule really helped me with dry lips
I watched this video just cause the guy was too good at explaining.
I used Accutane, but it all came back about 5 months later. I'm on my 2nd round of it and OOOH BOY it's kicking my ass. I'm experiencing almost every single major side effect...dry skin, scalp, nose, hands, headaches, joint pain, back pain, mood swings, depression, etc. I'm on my last month so cross your fingers I won't have to get back onto Accutane a 3rd time...Great video! I used a lot of the same tips. One tip my doc told me was to put Vaseline/Aquaphor inside my nose overnight if the dryness was bad. AQUAPHOR IS YOUR BEST FRIEND. I don't know of anything else that moisturized me as well as that. Good luck to everyone on their skin journey!
how r you doing now?
What about now?
Just a tip for everyone who's having a lot of pain in their knees, back, and other joints: drink at least 2 liters of water a day. And even if you don't believe me, just try it for 2 days in a row and I promise you it's gone. I once saw it in a random video on TikTok, and it has helped me so much!!!
Thank you very much. I will try this.
Glad I read this. My shoulder joint is in excruciating pain right now.
@@kevinchy1925Hey, did water help? Im about to start accutane and Im so scared of the side effects haha
@@ivanatokic2370 I don’t particularly remember it helps but did it anyway. What kinda helps for me is doing workout stretches and get enough sleep. Also, I just want to share that I do still get a breakout here and there one year post accutane, so I don’t think it’s a longterm solution and I don’t want to go on another cycle again.
Just finished my 5th and final month on accutane! Only suffered from chapped lips (aquaphor is a must)! In love w my skin now🥰

LOL I agree
I'm 26 and only started getting severe acne when I turned 19. I'm 4 weeks into my dose and I already can feel and notice a difference and it's amazing. I've got pretty chapped lips right now but it pales in comparison to the benefits. I get really intense cystic acne on my face that would be unbearably painful (pulsing pain and agitation without even having to touch my face) and now it's completely gone. First time in my life since 19 that I've had a few solid weeks of painfree acne and it's beautiful. I'm still getting a odd white head but I haven't had a cyst for two weeks now!
Thanks for sharing your story :D My acne got worse last year but thankfully I met with a dermatologist who recommended I start accutane. Hopefully next month I am able to start my medication which won't be easy but really worth it. So excited to finally have my skin properly heal.
@@dxniela03 How is it going?! I'm on month 3 and a bit and I've been completely clear skinned. I've literally only had one pimple and it was because of work I had a bunch of mud on my fave and couldn't clean myself until I got home. I couldn't be happier with my results. I also don't have any side effects so far, I know some people complain about achey joints and backs but I'm all good.
I'm 27 started isotretinoin cleared up in a month
Hi. How are you bro? Are you well? Have you got acne now? Or ...
Update?
I began taking Accutane one month ago and will continue for a full course of six months. During the first month, I took 20mg per day, and now in the second month, I have increased my dosage to 30mg for the remainder of the course. In the first month, I experienced some dryness in my skin, mild joint pain, and a slight dryness in my mouth. However, in the second month, I have noticed that my skin is starting to look more radiant, and I have not had any more acne, except for three that disappeared quickly. Overall, choosing to take Accutane was the best decision I have made.
Did u get those insane side effects?
Any update dude?
Your skin will become EXTREMELY sensitive. I’ve been on accurate for 6 months and I accidentally switched up a facial cleanser (for showers) with a regular moisturizer. I was red as a tomato for at least 5 days and some of my acne came back (it went away duhh). Just make sure you’re careful with your skin.
Did you do regular check ups?
Avoid taking too much sweet food and alcohol. It raises your cholesterol levels. Can be bad for pancreas if too high. Liver may also reject the medication. Early blood tests are a must.
Such a good video! Very useful info in it for accutane users!
Thank you 😊
@@AbrahamThePharmacist I would like to use accutane but I'm not sure how to ask my dermatologist about getting put on it. I don't want to be turned down because I'm tired of the acne and hyperpigmentation I've had since elementary school and I'm 21. I've been put on Epiduo in middle school, and doxycycline last year some time and it hasn't worked. After I ran out, the acne would come right back (not that it even left, anyway). My dermatologist put me on something else that I can't remember but I started having GI issues. After that, he told me to just see him once a year which isn't good enough for me and my problem wasn't solved. Also, he didn't tell me what kind of acne I have or why I've had it for so long. Our appointments never lasted longer than 10 mins. I just want something that will work.

how is it going so far? any side effects? I start next month and so nervous
@@karinanai my skin is improving although it was purging for a few weeks. Everything is dry and i experience a slight back pain due to this medication and i did a blood test it turned out that accutane slightly increased my cholesterol level but nothing on the dangerous side its just that my dermatologist refused to increase my dosage fr this month. All these are considered normal if youre on accutane but thats all from me
I took my 30th pill (40mg) today. Also got my blood work report!
Within a month, my Triglycerides went from 60 to 100mg/dL.
LDL- from 90 to 110 mg/dL.
HA1C- from 5.2 to 5.4%
Total cholesterol is 165 which is normal. And everything else in the blood report is ideal too!
I have a healthy lifestyle. Eat pretty clean, a lot of good fats, moderate protein, low carbs and no sugar at all. exercise 2-3 times a week.
Accutane certainly did raise those levels I mentioned above.
4 more months to go and it'll be alright!
Good luck everyone! 😊💪

I wouldn't say my acne is horrible but its pretty bad.. and sometimes its worse, sometimes its better. Ive tried everything, from curology to proactive to dermatologist perscriptions to cetaphil etc. my skin has always been so sensitive and cant handle anything without breaking out. i tried out makeup a while ago because all my friends wear it and it just made me break out too. acne literally shatters my self confidence, and ive been working on myself so much but my acne never seems to go away and its really affecting me now. i hope accutane works for me.. im just rlly scared about the side effects but i have friends who went on accutane and it completely cleared their skin. fingers crossed :)

Daniel 20 days till i start!!
@@jomanahelal8219 what happened to your skin?
@@jomanahelal8219 update?
Update? Hope it went well
I ate isotretinoin during 10 months. And now, about 1,5 years later, I’ve started to get breakouts once again. And this freaking affects me badly. I’ve never felt worse both physically and psychologically, but I pushed through 10 months of not only dryness over every centimeter of my body, but I couldn’t exercise because my muscles and joints were unimaginably fragile, I couldn’t drink with my friends for the entire process and the need to always keep the pills and moisturizers with me wherever I went was such a stress factor on me. I lived through hell for almost a year, the dryness in my face and eyes have stayed with me ever since, I’ve also started to shed a lot of hair since I stopped, now I’m starting to believe those are permanent side-effects.
And even though I went through with all of this, and still am going through.. WHY me.. WHAT have I done to deserve this?! Acne doesn’t even run in my family.
It’s a fucking curse
I am afraid also for the permanent side effect 😢
i’m super sorry to hear that.. has it gotten better now and have you talked to your doctor? also, what was your dosage during that time?
@@MrFoodMan66 it comes and goes but no it has not disappeared. I’ve spoken to my doctor which gave me a prescription on a new salve.
I don’t quite remember the dosage since it was some time ago, maybe 80mg / day at the highest point… if that’s normal
Are you doing better? Im on 2 weeks on accutane. i dont feel any side effects and im still working out. I hope this is a gane changer for me. I know how you feel
@@maltehaggkvist8467 jesus christ 80mg is a super high dosage. Like super super. I’m almost sure that you would have got the same positive effects with 40 or even 20 mg per day and it would have really scaled down the side effects. It’s actually really weird that your doctor wrote you a such a high dosage. I’m a 80kg male and my doctor wrote me a 10mg which is really low so now she wants to up it to 20 and she thinks that it will do the job without too many side effects.
I had no idea what the side effects were, and had to discontinue after a few months. I started getting some side effects like bloodshot eyes, pains in my organs, suicidal tendencies, dry face and throat. Now going to go get checked for high cholesterol since that's another side effect. Mind you I'm pretty healthy haven't drank or smoke in over 4 years, I drink lots of water, and workout so this came as a shock how I was feeling.
What was your dose??
Literally took my first pill today haha

Very helpful info thank you. Avoiding creamy barrier dealing lotions is the one thing I don’t agree with. ... The acid mantle on the surface of the face needs to be soothed while accutane or tret cause dryness & potentially extreme sensitivity.
I did two rounds of Accutane. My top side effects were
1.) dry skin especially lips
2.) joint soreness
3.) eye stye’s!!!
4.) depression
Same here ☹️
They don’t want me to take it cuz I’m already depressed
@@iGoHam2 come out of depression first. Otherwise stop taking this medication ☹️
Ayesha Sadiq you don’t think I should risk it? I’ve gotten the medication before and then never took it cuz I got scared again
iGoHam personally I took it while depressed but I was also on anti-depression medication which helped. Bottom line is, if you believe your mental state of mind is healthy and in a good place and you can handle it then take it otherwise wait because it can be a mentally and physically debilitating drug
I hope this helps someone....I thought I would have to try Accutane but I realized that it was several things, including.... my BB Cream, no kidding, and a GF of mine was using a BB Cream too that was giving her terrible horrible acne until I told her to throw it away and it cleared up. However, it can be metabolic, certain oils my body can't metabolize, such as Olive oil or any fried foods will give me a small pimple usually, but Olive oil will give me really deep, and really terrible cystic acne, also cheap chocolate, because it has wax, and cashews, as well as certain skin products, gave me acne. Testing out foods and oils to see which gave me acne, changing my skincare products and my diet plus being extra hygienic with my pillow covers, and learning seriously to never ever evverrrr touch my face, and take regular pro-biotics cleared it all up forever for me.
Ok, but accutane will help me live like a normal person without getting quarter sized acne :/
That’s your experience some of us have done what you have said and even more ! Yet still deal w it
Literally been on it for 5 days . I’m paying attention to the difference in my body , so far not many yet . I’m starting get dry a little , so far thats it . I pray this works for me 🥺
Did you get prescribed the medication? Can you ask for it from a doctor / dermatologist? X
You can only get the med from a dermatologist
how did it go???
@@_amybrown sorry I’m 5 months late . But yes you have to get it from the dermatologist, it’s process in order to take it . Especially for females we need blood work and pregnancy test and have to answer questions every month

Lemon Boi update?
Fred Barker my skin is doing amazing !!!! I’m so so happy!!!
Fred Barker there is still redness and I get some spots but noting like I use to! I’ll be on it for another 3 months and then kk my acne should be goon !
Lemon Boi I’m glad that your skin is better. I feel the only thing that might save me is accutane, as all teenage ages I had fine skin (maybe a couple spots but nothing much) but during the last few months when I’ve been 19 and turned 20 I broke out like crazy.
I never used to have a skincare routine either so I doubt that’s going to sort my skin out now
Fred Barker you could be having an allergic reaction , you can get new ones at anytime, so go to ur doctor probs and cheak that out! Accutane is a very harsh drug and I would be lying if I said it has been easy! Make sure u have good people surrounding you and are prepared for ur skin to get a bit worse befour it gets better! I believe in you tho if I can do it you can do it !
For the first two weeks I was put on 40mg of isotretinoin, my hips would pretty much freeze up once I would lay down and try to sleep. It would be extremely painful to move even the slightest bit, and in order to get moving again, I would have to force myself through the extreme pain to a point where my hip joints would literally *POP!* I endured this for 2-3 days before calling my dermatologist, he told me to stop taking it. My hips slowly went back to normal after about a week and a half from when I stopped taking the isotretinoin. Took a whole month off before going back to see him, he tried putting me on some antibiotic which didn't work. So a month of that and I asked to be put back on isotretinoin but at a lower dose, he put me on 10mg a day, then month after that 20mg (10mg 2x a day), then to 30mg after that (10mg 3x a day), everything was good so far, until recently I developed palpitations!!!! So at the moment my cardiologist asked me to ask my dermatologist if I could take a month off to see if the palpitations stop. Scary stuff, I hope it stops it.
I thought I was the only one experiencing palpitations ! It's so scary felt like my heart is about to jump out of my chest I stopped taking the pill 2 months ago and its going back to normal now thank god
@@thegirlonthemove8465 Glad it's gotten back to normal for you! It really is scary; the thing that really sucks, is that the medication actually helps with my acne, and I can't have it =( . It has been about 2 and a half to 3 weeks off of it now, and the palpitations have seem to have gone away (so far). I originally started Isotretinoin in January of 2019, and the palpitations started back in March. I honestly didn't connect the two until I found a better cardiologist, who helped me connect the dots.
My doc put me on this but didn’t go over side effects and what to do about it. Thank you! 😊
Glad I could help
Some of these side effects I looked up are kinda scary. I don’t mind dried up skin or lips though.
Ngl I stopped growing at 15 after accutane, Im decently tall because I grew early.. could be coincidence because the “permanent stunted bone growth” in teenagers was never proven
My doctor said you won't take any medication if you read the side effects. You need to take into consideration the probability of them happening.
@@SirKolass 100% agree, my particular circumstance sometimes makes me wonder but then again, they are liable to state everything that can happen. Some people die from getting too tangled in their bedsheets, just because it's a possibility doesn't mean it's at all likely to occur.

PLEASE don't take accutane!!!!( I took only 20 mg but even low dose was bad)
I am very grateful I became aware early of the side effects in my second round of accutane which was 1 year after the first round. In the first round I took accutane for 5 months on low dose for mild/ moderate acne. It drys your body organs and has caused me mild Fatty Liver Disease(which I caught on early), irregular periods, a fibroadenoma which I have mistaken for malignancy and caused huge pain and anxiety for months.
Alternative: Get an estrogen test and your doctor will prescribe supplements to balance your hormone levels, which in turn will clear up your face even better than accutane. I WISH I had known all of this earlier😭
I asked my dermo about the side effects and he said only dry lips and skin. When I questioned him about the other side effect’s, he got mad and questioned me. That’s when I knew to not take it. Thank you for the useful information!
Where was your fibroadenoma situated?? Cuz I found one 2 on my chest and I can't tell if its because of accutane or no?

Just started my 3rd month on acutance, 40mg of it everyday. I don’t see the best results honestly, I still have big pimples forming on my cheeks, under my ears by my neck & jawline , and on the sides of the eyes area. I wash every night with a hydration cleaner and I use a moisturizer after. I don’t think I’m doing anything wrong I don’t know why it doesn’t seem to be working. Please leave any tips or tricks you used while on acutane that helped you when you were on it. Will update every month
@Skool Haze so right now I’m entering my 4th month and this has been the best month so far. Face got very smooth but still redness and marks, assuming some scars but a lot less breakouts. I was an idiot and missed my appointment the other day so I ran out of pills and am waiting until December 9th to get them again. Praying I don’t breakout or lose any progress. The progress from end of month 2 to end of month 3 was so different. Being patient is so key with this
How are you now??
.
Although keeping the side effects of accutane I'm just gona start it with in few days and i hope for the best
I have been using accutane for almost 4 months now its amazing my acne has cleared a great deal.. The problem is my skin is not even.. It has black patches is there anything you can recommend?
At what mg?
I took this medication when I was 15. Have not had one blackhead or systic pimple since.
I have been suffering from tinnitus after stoping the Isotretinoin!
This stuff works, legit. All I got was dry lips and a bit higher cholesterol.

I was on accutane back in 2017 for abiut 6 months and went from having cystic acne and rosacea to having beautiful clear skin. I experienced every side effect in the book from mood changes to dry skin. However , about a 2 weeks after my last dosage i pretty much started to feel normal. Fast forward to present day i am restarting accutane as a 21 year old adult because of hormonal breakouts and acne scarring from over the years. Will update on what side effects (if any) i may encounter this time around.
But yeah water and Carmex will be your bestie :)
Hi, Katya! I’m so happy for the results you had in 2017. I just wanted to ask something. Didn’t it clear out your skin completely? So does this mean that even though you had it years ago, you still could get breakouts?
@@iamleelanceYour first treatment could give you like ten years of clear skin. And then sometimes the pimples comes back. But it all depends on your diet as well. The main thing that gives me pimples is milk, cheese, sugar and chicken. My first treatment was 20mg Roaccutane for 3 months in 2009. It was really good to me. I just finished my second treatment now in 2023 April. I was using Oratane, it was not good on my bones it gave me stiff joints. But my skin is clear. So these treatments are not once off for everyone.
The only thing that cleared my acne is, Fasting, No sugar/carbs, cod liver oil, u’ll see results within just a week, i hope this will help someone.
Im on Isotretinoin and I’ve been experiencing consistent chest pains. My derm told me to ask my PCP, and he said what Im experiencing is Costochondritis (inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs and sternum). My doctor said it probably was not related to the isotretinoin, but my instincts tell me it is, especially when bone/joint/muscle pain is a common side effect. Have you ever had patients experience chest pain while on accutane? I have no other body aches besides my chest.
On my 5 month right now & I’ve been chest & my whole body aching. I haven’t been breathing to well either. But isotretinoin really clears up those breakouts though🤷🏾♂️
I’ve had it since Late October. I’ve started to have real bad chest pains, heavy breathing, dryness all over my body and a bad rash in the form of ringworms. Gotta check out tf is going on
@@muz9663 dude, same here. I started in October & I have the same symptoms you do besides the rash, mines is eczema on my hands. The breathing gets pretty scary, wondering if I caught the damn covid🤦🏾♂️

I’m on 3 months 40mg a day. Cholesterol is high now and losing more hair then ever, eyes are dry to the point where I wake up with blood shot eyes and my lips are never ending peeling cracks and swollen. :( I drink a gallon of water a day and I’m a vegetarian plus I exercise... also my back has been hurting me recently specially when I’m trying to sleep . I’m about to give up on accutane
A Tieaa my cholesterol is high and I’m on my third month 20mg I feel back and shoulders ache and I get tired when I workout.. I’m ok with all this pain but not with the high cholesterol level :( did you figure out a way to treat with this problem?
Ima9 I ended up quitting accutane :( BUT you dont have to quit it if you go on a strict diet and keep exercise but maybe exercise more. Make sure whatever you eat is cholesterol free. And whatever you do DONT get on pills to keep your cholesterol low. You will add more damage to the body that way. Wishing you lots of luck and health oh and clear skin :)
Ima9 also I quit because my back was hurting me so much, also I stated to get sick at night and my dermatologist didn’t seem to care he just wanted to add more pills to my symptoms . I am not trying to die at my age lol I am too young and not that stupid to be taking that many pills 💊 unfortunately accutane is not for everyone 😭
A Tieaa lol same as my dermatologist he wants me to take cholesterol pills! I’m not convinced about that 😕 I’m depressed because I already don’t eat dairy I eat healthy before I start taking roaccutane , I will give it a chance and try the diet I hope it works with me

Please dont. If you plan to conceive, accutane is the worst you could do. This is why it is heavily regulated and you have to be on 2 different types of birth control because it will cause defects on the fetus if you do get pregnant while on it.

how is your skin now
Wanna give us an update?
I have a question🙋♂️🙋🙋♀️
I have taking accutane.
Today I consulted a doctor, he said you could use Vbeam (laser treatment).
Before i have heard that while on accutane, don't use laser treatment. But doc said that recently even if on accutane,you don't take bad affect(more redness etc…).Which do you think is correct?
I did a cycle of Accutane and it was great but unfortunately a few years later (~4) the acne did come back (not nearly as severe as pre-Accutane), but more than what I would define as the occasional pimple. The dermatologist did say that it's not uncommon (roughly 30%) of cases to need a 2nd or even 3rd treatment so I might be doing another round. The first time I didn't get many side effects at all so I hope this time around it's similar if I decide to go at it again.
same. mine came back after about 4 ish yrs and the hyperpigmentation became too much to bear so i'm on my 2nd go at it. just started month 2. I havent had a pimple on my face in weeks and it's been amazing (aside from the joint pain and badly dry lips, ofc). really hoping this lasts forever bc the lack of oiliness and fully clear skin is such a dream.
For how many months you did your first round treatment around???

@@letitbe3494 I would consult your dermatologist as everyone reacts differently to the drugs. I didn't have any side effects from isotretenoin aside from the usual dry skin/lips.

Hey love I just wanted to say that this happens to so many people who start isotretinoin, i believe my dermatologist called it a ‘purge’! Even though it’s annoying, it’s your skin cleansing out all the yuck stuff so that it can keep going uphill from here! Best wishes.
Townes Jones hii yes! Thankyouu ♥️ 😊
Yes I'm also taking it and within the first month my skin has been horrible. My dermatologist advised me that the 3rd month will be nothing more but improvement
I'm using the Bates Method on a daily basis to improve my eye sight which includes up to 5 minutes of direct sunlight exposure to my face everyday the method is used. Is this safe if I have SPF 20 from Tiege Hanley's am moisturizer?
Also, is it safe to be using any skin care products other than face wash and face moisturizer?

I'm in my 3rd month treatment of oratane (isotretinoin 10mg). Just gotten my blood test with few parameters out of range. I've never have this issue before. So quite unsure if this is the effect from consuming oratane as I didn't do blood test before treatment.
1. Uric acid 0.34mmol/l (almost exceed the normal range)
2. Total cholesterol 5.4mmol/l
3. Non-HDL 3.7mmol/l
4. LDL 3.1mmol/l
5. Urine pH 6.0
First 2month daily consumption and starting 3rd month in alternate day. I don't really suffer severe dryness probably because with at least 1.5L water daily and prescribed face wash, moisturizer and sunscreen from dermatologist.
I feel chest pain once on 2nd month, other time I feel body soreness especially just before and after sleep.
Hopefully could get more data for judgement. Be beautiful and healthy is our goal
how's your skin and side effects
@@sarveshbhamare my acne recovered. Sometimes, it may pop out as indicator of my poor lifestyle😂.. sleep late
How do you treat back pain and joint pain?
I'm on month 15 on 40mg a day and recently started getting back and joint pains.
Make sure you take supplements for your joints like Omega 3 fatty acids or glucosamine chondroitin. Both are good for joint health
An nsaid like ibuprofen works well for the pain
after waiting since October 2019 for a referral to dermatology (complicated by my history of mental health issues and of course 'rona), I've taken my first tablet today! My two younger sisters who have had courses of isotretinoin for their persistent and aggressive acne, and now its my turn. I'm so sick of hating my face and upper body everytime I see it so hopefully this will help 🤞

Hi Mr. Abraham, i know patients can't do laser procedures while on isotretinoin but would they be able to do ultrasonic cavitation on say the abdominal area?? Thank you for any feedback!
I'm 14 and recently started it.Pray for me.
Six weeks of isotretinoin and now I'm hearing high pitched hissing in my ears all the time. Very scared. Anyone else?
I am scared really? update?
hey are you ok
i sometimes hear ringing to and am worried
@@yeetdamien2327 and what did your dermatologist say? stop it or not? :))
Maybe you have an angry miniature cat living in your ear
12 March 2021 - DAY 1, 40mg one pill!
I just started taking this a few days ago and I was wondering if working out will increase the pain that may be caused. Does anyone know if it does or not?
Logan Ellis it will increase pain, mostly in the back. I’ve been on it for about a month and regularly go to the gym doing heavy weights. I’ve definitely noticed the joint pain but it’s not bad enough to make me stop going. If you want you could try pain killers but it’s up to you to decide. Honestly just keep doing your workouts and if it gets to bad then stop. If it doesn’t then keep going
TRI how’s the accutane going?
I’m over 40 and have suffered from acne all of my life since I was a teen. I’m going to be prescribed this next month but I’m hella worried about the side effects. Is there a woman over 40 that has used this? Can you share your experience?
