    I also have an oily acne prone skin my entire life and I did try everything like you did and more I think I went to every dermatologist in my city but no one can did anything about it and also non of them told me about ACCUTANE and what makes it worst for me is that people kept telling me advices about it and thinking that I don't do anything thats why I have acne it was so bad and dark time for me until I was in university one doctor told me to use ACCUTANE and honestly It was a heaven sent for my skin to the point that I felt bad for my young self now I don't get it when people say anything negative about it it is like any other medicine you have to be careful when you use it but it's also a life changer for some people especially for people who nothing work for them and who live in a world that care only about appearance every one deserves to be happy and healthy. Thank you for sharing You are also not alone in this.

    @valeriabustos4100 5 лет назад +7

    You mentioned you ate only chicken and potatoes and veggies while on Accutane however you would benefit from putting healthy fats in your meals since Accutane is a fat soluble vitamin. You would store a greater amount of the drug in your body which allows you to avoid relapsing, that could be why you relapsed

      Perhaps you were not on the right dose, suggest you speak to your dermatologist if you are still struggling :(

  • @mimi3981
    @mimi3981 3 года назад +2

    The dosage of accutane depends on the person weight if you weight 60 kg 30g is low. I took accutane for 4 month the doctor couldn’t put me on more months because of my weight and he encouraged me to gain weight. My goal is to gain healthy weight and go back taking accutane because my skin doesn’t respond to retinol or any creams it’s so stubborn. After 6 month of stopping accutane my skin is started breaking up badly:)

    Unfortunately I relate to this problem in too many ways. I'm on my last month and shit isn't cleared. Before I went on, I changed my diet strictly for 3 months. Nothing changed. Turns out I'm allergic to the metals in newyork's water so while the pill should be clearing me, everytime I wash my face, the water takes it right back to square one. It's disgusting and awful and I haven't left the house for months. I'm moving back to the Midwest in June, where the water does not shed my skin. I feel like this whole course was in vain. I'm gonna have to do another. I've literally tried everything: I have boxes full of skin care products and I cannot continue to dish out hundreds of dollars in hopes of my psoriasis/eczema like acne to even slightly fade. I relate to you, and like you said, if your skin really bothers you, you'll get up off your ass to find a solution. I've recently purchased an anti metal allergy skin care kit, it helps somewhat. But I'm still searching and killing my self for other methods. Thanks for the video you look gorgeous girl!

    I did accutane for the first time and my skin was so clear but I was also going through depression and my obgyn was concerned because I was sexually active and didn’t want me to get pregnant also because of my period so I got on birth control. At first it was okay and then 6 months of being on birth control, I gained a lot of weight because it made my appetite grow and it made me get hungry really bad so I told my mom that I wanted to get off of it. I don’t know what happened or why but my acne got so bad that I’m going to have to try to get on accutane one more time, hopefully for the last time.

    Are you sure you only took 3mg? That sounds like a very low dose

    Did you continue to experience, if not worse breakouts on your first month back? I'm in the exact situation as you are when you posted this, School, Work and hardly anymore time for women(just recently broke up with girlfriend). Im trying to do a self-improvement month/year and i want to clear my face again and im worried i might experience the very bad breakouts when i started Accutance a year ago

      Tubby Troy Kent Lozano on the first month when I go back on for me personally the first week it got a little worse. From then on it got better, but hey here I am almost 9 months off - I'm starting to break out again on my fore head

      Derma told me low doses can actually make some people go back to the routine time to time(4 cases but rarely). My other dermatologist actually said it is 1mg/kilo and if i am 70 kilo i should be taking 50-70mg a day but 10mg seems to be working for me and i do kind of take alot of brain supplements for my studies. Thank you for your reply by the way! cheers!

      Judy C. How long have you been off? Has your oil come back fully?

    • @j.uuuuudy
      @j.uuuuudy  7 лет назад

    what is that precisely?

    • @j.uuuuudy
      @j.uuuuudy  8 лет назад

      google it! there are so many names for it, but if you type accutane it will pop up! its pretty much a pill you take everyday and it just sucks all the oil out of your skin - please read up on it cause there are alot of side effects!
