FINALLY! I cannot even begin to express how excited I am to post this video. Acne has been a huge insecurity of mine for years of my life. It had periods of getting better, periods of getting worse until finally, I had enough. After trying everything from the dermatologist, Accutane was the final solution. And it was the winner! I am so grateful to have been put on this medicine and to have clear skin. There is no better feeling than not having to worry about your skin anymore.

MUCH LOVE,

I started accutane last week, i just hope that my acne goes away and never comes back.
Woo!!!! I hope so too!!!! Best of luck!
I just started it today :)
@@rawr2615 same
Me too what mg did they prescribe you I’m on 40mg twice a day. Make sure take it with fatty foods it helps the medicine absorb to your body!
@@projectors I’m on 60 mg every day. On day 5 and haven’t noticed any side effects so far.
2 months 11 days today ..this so inspiring ..I'm so excited to have a clear skin
Ahhh I’m so excited for you!!! I started noticing clear skin months 2-3 so you’re almost there!!!
@@sarawinkler1243 💜
how’s your skin looking now
oh wow wait i think we're on the same timeline!! we'll get there girl!! we'll get there :) I am in month 3 now, how is it going for you?
@@shalinikellinghaus4434 starting to clear up now, still some pigmentation but it’s getting there, hbu
Girl you made me cry at the end. That is EXACTLY how i feel. I remember about 8 years ago i was at work, and a little girl pointed to me and told her mom “that lady has polka dots on her face” and i have never forgotten that! I start accutane in 3 weeks and i can’t wait to feel how you feel ❤️ Thank you for sharing.
Awwww well I am both flattered and sorry you had to experience that as well. Kids (and adults) just never realize that words stick. I am so happy you are excited and on the journey to clear skin!!! :)
Polka dots😂😂😂
My acne is terrrrrible so I feel you❤️
So have you finished your course yet ?
How did it go???
i’m taking accutane for the first time today so that i can wear a mask with no breakouts
Oh lord you have no idea how much I relate to this!!!! Masks have definitely been a struggle for my skin!!
How is it going for you? I will be taking in a few days for the first time and so excited for it
@@selinarslan9761 SO WELL! the first few days i had side effects like dry skin and extreme acne (basically the skin is purging all toxins and needs to release potential acne) but now my skin is so clear and smooth and colored evenly
I'm starting accutane in a month so I can't wait! If had such bad acne since I was 13 so I can't wait to finally be clear of this nasty burden! Thanks for the help❤
Aww I am so excited for you!!! Of course and happy to help!
How'd it go?
I just started my Accutane journey! I am so happy it cleared your skin so well it looks amazing and, this makes me so excited to finish mine. It is interesting that people notice a difference a couple months in. I am only on my 11th pill but I am expecting clear skin already 🥴. I need to be patient, haha. Thank you for sharing your story!
Awww I am so pumped for you!!! I hear you...I was so impatient for the results but they normally come anywhere from 2-4 months!!! I can't wait for you!
How is it now?!
About to start accutane. So excited lol I can’t wait 🙏🏻
I am so happy for you! Good luck!
Me too!! Have you started yet?
Me too and I’m so scared omg
@@lexmcdevitt7977 i have been on accutane for 3 weeks lips and around lips is dry and i get back pain
@@lexmcdevitt7977 It’s my 4th day and so far so good I can say :D
I am so impressed and proud of you for posting your ordeal. I don't know if I would have had the courage to be so honest. Great work Sara!
Thank you so much Rich! I really appreciate it!
Thank you for this, I start in February and have been waiting for that moment for years. It’s so frustrating to work so hard on your skin but nothing helps. You’re beautiful
Of course!! I am so excited for you!! I hear you on that one but you are so close to the end of that!!! Thank you!
How did it go
How’d it go??
Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I’ve had severe acne for over 1 and a half years now and my confidence is through the floor :( I’ve tried EVERYTHING, medications, topical lotions from the doctor, home remedies, shop brought lotions and cleansers, I went to a nurse too to have over £1k worth of micro needling and chemical peels and they all did nothing at all! I’m about to start accutane and I’m scared but SO so excited! I just pray this works 😭❤️
Of course and I know how you feel because I was there!!! That is exactly how I was feeling about everything. I was very scared to do accutane but I do NOT regret it one bit. I know that isn't everyone's experience but I couldn't recommend it enough. And it will work, just trust the process!
thank you for this video, it really helped me. I myself am considering going on accutane, and i think i’m going to do it now. I have been struggling with acne since I was 12 years old and i’m so sick of it haha! your skin is perfect! i’m so happy for you that you got your skin cleared up, it feels good to know that other people have had the same struggles i have. i’m so proud of you girl!!
Awwww thank you sooo much!!! I feel you and I was in the exact same boat as you!!! Oh my gosh thank you for the compliment! There are soo many people facing acne and you are NOT alone! I wish more people would support each other through this!
@@sarawinkler1243 You’re welcome!!❤️❤️thank you!!
Thank you so much for this ♥️ You don’t understand how comforting it is to hear all of this from a person who went through a similar journey 🥰 Going on accutane soon so hopefully I don’t have acne my freshman year of college 😭
Awww of course!!!! I so know how you feel right now and I promise it all gets so much better!!!!
So have you finished your course ?
I started my isotretenoin journey for almost a month now and my acne is at its very very very worse and i know this is a part of the whole process (very ichy, sensitive, and dry always), i am thankful for these types of videos because most of the time we are going to have almost the same experiences and its really helpful for our mental and emotional strength. we got this. godbless
I had bad acne for like 4 years along with very oily skin. I gave Accutane a try and I was on it for 10 months! My skin is now very smooth and clear with hardly any scars. :)
Aw love to hear that!!
ACNE SCARS BHI FILL HO GY KYA AP K
Does this mean that Accutane also helps repair scars ?... I wish you happiness
I legit thought I was the only one ! Going number two hurts! I’m on month 3 almost month 4!!! I have had a lot of crazy side effects! I truly love how sweet and honest you where about your accutane journey !
Awww so happy someone benefited from that TMI statement!! But thank you so much :)
Girl, THANK U for the tmi. You being so honest is great for people like me who just started their journey😊
Hahaha of course!!!! I just want to be honest about it because a few people I know experienced the same thing but no one talks about it! Good luck!
1 month 5 days 40mg today. My acne is getting little bit worst but I’m confident that my acne will get better and I’ll defeat it
You got this!!!
Hello your acne clear?
Thank you sm for sharing this. Some People may not understand how brave of you it was to do this video. I’ve been struggling so bad and I’ve tried so many products and all they ever do is make my acne worse.💔 thank you for this
Awwww thank you so much!! It is challenging and most people don't realize the toll acne takes unless they actually have acne. Definitely head to your dermatologist and trust that they will help you out! If you are already going to a dermatologist and don't like them, head to a new one!
This is honestly how my face looks for some reason. I’m only 19 and ever since lockdown my face broke out and now looks exactly the way yours did 😔
the masks really do a number don't they?!?! Definitely reach out to your dermatologist, they can help so much!
I’m on my 1 and half month and still on purging stage but I hope I can achieve the skin like yours. Thanks for sharing your journey! ❤️
This is the hardest part of the journey but once you are through it, clear skin is ahead!!!
Hiii!!! What's the update!?😮
You look so beautiful, congratulations on finishing your journey and thank you for sharing it! It was very helpful. I started three weeks ago and I am so excited and cannot wait to see results, but at the same time I feel a little scared
Aww thank you and you are welcome!! I totally understand feeling scared but I can assure you that it is worth it!! And worse comes to worse you can stop at anytime!!
To new accutane users: Carry around carmex everywhere you go. The splitting bleeding lips were my worst side effects the first round. 2nd time around 10 years later it completely dried out my tear ducts. I have no tears and even tore my cornea because my eyes were so dry. BUT its a miracle drug. People that dont have cystic acne have no idea the horrors of living with it. Even with my side effects, i'd do it agian 10000 times.
My heart sank
Relatable
I cried a little watching this, I’m so happy for you
Awww this just made my night!! Thank you!! I really appreciate it!
You’re so welcome 💖
Thank you so much for posting this, I just started accurate almost a week ago and this made me feel so hopeful. THANK YOU!!
Aww of course!! I’m happy it could help!!
How's your skin now?
I just started this from today inshaallah and then my skin was clear like other people have say ameen 😢
I have struggled with acne all throughout my teenage years. There were times it got better and times it got worse. I have been on Accutane since April of this year and can say it was totally worth it. My skin texture is so much better then it was before starting and all of my redness and scarring is healing. I avoided Accutane for the longest time due to the monthly bloodwork and extreme side effects. I only had dry lips, and some minor joint pain and that’s pretty much it. This drug works miracles, don’t listen to the bad things about it.
Great video ❤️. Never let acne stop you from doing the things you love. I hope whoever is suffering with acne right now heals fast. I just started my accutane treatment. I Will be back in a month with the review ❤️. Stay strong! You're beautiful.
Thank you so much! I am so happy for you and I hope it goes amazing! You got this!
I don't think we have accutance in India ,in India it's prescribed under the name Accuret if I am correct.
@@dingus2332 no it is prescribed as Isotretinoin , even I am on 2.5 monthes on it , and there's is definitely visible difference but not cleard up yet
I needed this video! You’re so strong for sharing this ♥️
Aww well Im happy it came when you needed it! Thank you!
Your video is inspiring, and all too familiar! You have a wonderful, upbeat personality. Thank you for being so candid with your story. I started Accutane two weeks ago and needed this.
Thank you so much, that means a lot!! I hope it works out wonderfully for you! Best of luck!
ik this video is kinda old but tysm for making this because today i took my first dosage and to see that you had barely any side affects makes me a lot less scared. i’m just rly excited to have clear skin because acne is my biggest insecurity so YAY it’s gonna be gone soon
Awww that makes me so happy to hear that!! You got this!!
Heyyyy I am also about to start accutane very soon so, i am so scared and excited but this video really made me feel better thank u !!! U look so good and I appreciate how you talk openly about this
Awwww I'm happy it could make you feel better!! I was in the exact same boat and I know how you are feeling!! It really does work wonders!
I have had two courses of accutane. Neither of them caused a purge. Well done for sticking with it…
I’m starting accutane for the 3rd time tomorrow. I’m 38, I started it at 16 which THANK GOD the acne was destroying my face. I didn’t have cystic, but I’m very pale, so the inflammation from the persistent moderate acne was so damn visible. I should have started it a year earlier but my mom wouldn’t take me to the derm.
So it worked well, but acne came back a few years later but not as bad. I did it at 27 and it worked well for a few years. Doing it again, because acne took off a little worse in my 30s.
They scare you to death of this medicine but I don’t know what I would have done without it in my teenage years.
Also none of that topical stuff ever really works for people with real acne.
Fingers crossed this round works for you!!! I know this is such a hard struggle and cheers to you for being strong and pushing through!! For me, this was the best decision I made!
Thank you so much for making this! I took my first pill today and I’m still a little scared but this really helped calm my nerves.❤️
Of course!!! I felt the same way you did but it went amazing for me and so many others! If not, you can always stop at anytime!! But you got this!!
just started Accutane last week and I've been struggling with acne for so long. so far I've been on it and my lips are super chapped and I get headaches every day. I love this video!! ur so pretty and im proud of ur acne journey!
Awww well thank you!!! I would recommend the Vaseline that comes in a squeezable tube! It helped SOOO much!! Aquaphor before bed was my secret weapon!!
@@sarawinkler1243 Hi sara what dose you been on it? And total of months? I'm about to starting mine this week on low dose 20mg and already scared 😮💨😞
@@NYS30 I was on it for 6 months and went all the way up to 80mg!

I’m starting my accutane journey next week this was so helpful thank you so much x
I am so excited for you!!! Good luck!
How did it go
you have no idea how much this helps. people that go through acne always come out the other side a better person. keep doing you.
Aww thank you so much!!
This is so inspirational and so beyond relatable thank you so so much for making this! 💞💞💞💞
Awww thank you for the compliment and of course!
I’m starting my accutane journey tomorrow. Can’t wait 😍😍
Congratulations!!! I hope it goes amazing for you too!!

I have acne since 12yo and now i am 23 :( accutane is my last choice. Wish me luck :’)
It works wonders!! Good luck!
I love this video!! So informative and uplifting. You go girl!
Awww thank you so much Lauren! :)
You're so sweet 🤗❤️ and so brave. Thank you for this video
Aww thank you!! And of course!
OMG I HAD AN ALLERGIC REACTION TO BACTRIM TOO AND IT WAS THE ONLYYYY THING THAT EVER WORKED FOR ME. I’m starting accutane next week!! Wish me luck
OMG!! You are probably the only person I've heard with a similar reaction!!! Good luck on accutane :)
Me on accutane after the same time and acne as you. Yes mam🤚🧍🏻♀️best choice
Hahahaha in it together!!! Happy it worked for you!
Yepp^^ glad u are happier too hun♡
Accutance CHANGED my lifee❤️
I’m so happy to hear that!
Masha Allah im on my 2nd week of isotretinoin 20mg i hope it clears out my acne n never come back
@@sabazehra4231 how’s going 🥺
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!!!
I am so excited for you!! I am on a dance team and workout regularly so I understand the concern! I never struggled with fatigue or muscle aches but I made sure to go to bed on time, eat well, and drink lots of water. AND stretch!!!!
So happy for u 😍😍😍😍😍😍god bless you and yaa your video is so informative and helpful , i m on my accutane , i hope my skin will also get cleared
Thank you so much!! You got this!
Acutane works. I took it for 6 months.i had very dry lips 👄, had to moisturize several times a day. Thank you for sharing your story.
I'm happy it worked for you!
Next month i begin my accutane journey!
im so excited!
I am so excited for you!!! Good luck!
the end when you were saying your acne makes you not be yourself, it 100% does. I find myself not wanting to talk as much because then people will look at me and see my skin, so i just stay quiet.
That is the hardest part. I was ironically looking through old pictures of myself with acne and I don't know how I did it everyday. You just have to remind yourself that acne is temporary (even though it doesn't feel that way) and to be confident. If you're confident, people will treat you that way!
Hello Ms Sara, I started accutane and this video is soo inspiring thank you soo much for the review,
Awww thank you so much!! Happy it could help!!
Going to start accutane soon as well! This gives me hope. Thank you
I am so happy to hear that!!!
Was on it twice. Still alive 20y later, happy, healthy......perfect skin....
Only issue: permanently *dry skin* after the 2nd course. Permanently.....not super-dry, but dry (used to be super oily)
I’m gonna begin my 2nd month on Accutane and I’m very impatient and scared that it won’t work but I can’t wait to start seeing results 🤎
I feel you but it will work! Some people take longer to see results and that's ok!! You got this!
Any update?
I'm on day 11 and just cannot waitttttttt to see the results arghhh!!! want time to fly
So excited for you!!!
i am on month 1 today, just 5mg :(
my dermatologist didn’t want me to go higher in beginning 🥲hahahah
hope it will work!!!!!!!!
ps.: happy new year, hopefully in this year we all get clear skin ❣️
I hope everything works out for you!!! Your dermatologist will do whats best for you!!! Happy new year as well!
@@sarawinkler1243 thank you so much!
It will definitely be the best feeling trust me. Yes, begin with lesser doses as your body needs to adapt to this drug. It took me about 6 months exact to get a clear af skin from a 7 year old acne filled skin😂💕 I had never thought that I would have a day where i would see a skin without acne❤️
Update: now I am on 20mg and 10mg. So on one day i Take 20mg and on the next day 10mg, on the next day 20mg....
my cheeks are soo bad, but my forehead is a bit better I think!!
Inshallah
You are beautiful! I've been on Oratane for about a week, no results yet but definitely have dry lips. I've never struggled with acne but at the age of 27 my back, neck and face broke out in cyctic/hormonal acne. I'm hoping for the best as I don't really like wearing foundation. I must say the only thing I am scared of is the effect it will have on my liver. Other than that I'm positive! Thanks for sharing!
Awwww thank you!!!! Acne really sucks right?? You should be getting blood work done throughout accutane and they check on your liver health so don't be too worried about it! Just drink a TON of water!
I am going to be starting it but I am super nervous about the side effects but can't wait for the result!
I was the exact same way! What helped me was realizing that you can always stop the medicine if the side effects are too bad! But that never happened for me!
@@sarawinkler1243 I started it and omg it's been a week and I already see it fading away
@@nabilajasat9046 AHHH I am so happy!!!
Thank you so much for this video! I’m starting accutin in 2 weeks and this video makes me so exciting :) Can’t wait.
Awww I am happy to hear that!! I am so excited for you!
Updatee? I hope it’s gone well :))💕
@@jokesonyou222 heyy thank u ❤️it’s going great ! I have no active breakouts anymore but scars… I’m very happy how it’s going and the only side effects i’m experiencing is dry skin and lipstick
@@christinezechner2643 heyy! And of course ❤️! I’m so happy it’s going great and I’m so happy it’s brought you no active breakouts I’m hoping to go on it soon but I have to talk to my dermatologist and see what she says ! and I’m so happy you’re happy with how it’s going and I’m glad those are your only side effects ! I hope my dermatologist lets me go on it because my acne is starting to get cystic and actually physically hurt so I really want to go on accurate ! Did you purge at all ? How was the process and when did your skin really start improving ?
@@jokesonyou222 hii
hi sara thanx for this inspiring video i was scared to use accutane but tomorrow i have dr appointment to do my tests before i take it , im so excited i have acne since i can remember im 29 i have 2 kids and still having acne i wake up everyday wishing my skin is clear just like other girls
Awww I am so happy I could inspire you!! I know it is definitely very scary but you can, worse comes to worse, always stop taking the medication if it doesn't agree with you! Best of luck!
Omgg I guess this is a sign for me to go on accutane :(( I’ve had acne for almost 7 years too and it feels horrible 😭
I FEEL YOU! Well I am happy it could help! Honestly the process was so smooth and it is the best feeling in the world to not deal with acne anymore!
Did it work?
This video did it for me I think I’m gonna go on accutane. I feel like I have hormonal acne cuz I’ve had it since I was 14 till right now being 18.
Also thank you for sharing your story
Aww well I am so happy I could have inspired you to go on it! I really wish you the best of luck!
Mam I started taking Accutane from yesterday u finally gave me a hope , thanks for your information 🤗
Awww I am so happy to hear that!!!
Whenever i will feel down I'm gonna watch this video again because i have almost same history as yours, i tried almost everything that you mentioned in video
Aww I am happy to hear that! I promise it gets better!! Keep pushing forward and you'll get there!!
Thank you so much for sharing your story! I hope you have forgotten about this problem forever! And will never face it! Could you please share have you been taking your pills once a day or twice? Did your dermatologist suggest you any treatment for new breakouts while being on accutane? I am also on it now and i suffer from new breakouts every single day.. i just dont know what to do, cant take my hands off them. And really just want to cry all the time.
Thank you!!!
Aww you are welcome!!! I took my medicine twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. You are not allowed to use any other acne treatments while on accutane because it is too harsh on your skin. Your skin thins out a lot from accutane so you don't need to be applying anything else other than moisturizer and sunscreen! TRUST THE PROCESS AND DO NOT PICK! Any time you want to pick, think about the scar it will leave behind (that worked pretty well for me!)
@@sarawinkler1243 thank you so much for answering! I hope that it really will work for all of us who struggle.
Thank you!!
I’m on it rn it’s amazing stuff. Currently on the purging stage skins dry it sucks but it’s all worth it
Once you get through this stage, it’s smooth sailing!!! Make sure to moisturize the heck out of your skin! (Which I’m sure you’re already doing but just can’t help myself but offer some help!)
@@sarawinkler1243 you are amazing thank you so much god bless you
Took my first pill today! Sooo excited T-T
So exciting!! I can't wait for your clear skin to arrive!
Dry butt😂 watched alot of accutane vids and this is the first time someone mentioned it. Good to know though! I'm starting accutane next month. I've put it off for so long because im scared of the side effects but I'm tired of my acne. I can't wait to finally start.
Hahaha well just trying to keep it real! It was a not so fun side effect but hey, it happens to more people than you would think! If the side effects ever get too much, you can always stop or stay on a lower dose!
I worked with an older lady years ago and she said her son actually killed himself because of his acne. I wish acutane was around all those years ago. Poor man
mine looks like yours, probably worse. and it’s not even just on my face, but my chest, back, shoulders, arms, thighs, my scalp. i’m in constant pain. wether it’s emotional or physical. but today i’m picking up my accutane. wish me luck :)
I am so happy you are starting your accutane journey!! I think you will really enjoy the process!
@@sarawinkler1243 im on day 5 and my skin is drying up. im purging and it hurts a lot lol. but i have faith, just feeling a little tired i guess? and my body a lil achy
@@NotKuda I feel that. Make sure to use a heavy moisturizer like Cerave moisturizing cream. There are a ton of accutane skincare videos that give great product recommendations so check those out!!! (Dr. Dray on youtube is a great starting point) Make sure to keep your body moving! Whether its walking, yoga, or something else, it really helps keep everything flowing!
im gonna start my accutane soon❤️ so exited!!
Awww I am so happy for you!!!! Good luck!!
@@sarawinkler1243 thank youuu!❤️
the #2 issue is happening to me. i didn’t know it was normal thank you 😭
So many people struggle with it but NO ONE talks about it!!! You aren't alone!
You are so lucky. I am on Accutane and this is my 1st month in 2 days I start month 2 and I have severe dry skin. I am always using lotion and I still have 5 to 7 months left depending on when it goes away.
I don't know how I got so lucky! I have very sensitive and reactive skin but it never made me uber dry! I think I just used so much moisturizer that I was pretty hydrated! I use cetaphil and it's been wonderful! There are great accutane skincare videos on youtube that offer a ton of moisturizer suggestions...that could be helpful!
Hey! I feel so happy for you ❤️
Btw do slight atrophic acne scars go away with accutane in case you had any?
Hi! Most of my scars have completely gone away. I can still tell where the reallllly bad breakouts had been but I know I look at my skin far more than an average person would LOL!
Just a friendly reminder that yes Acne is a bitch,but people in this shit acne phase of themselves start hating themselves please don't do that .I have had severe acne for 3 years ,faced lot of comments and shit behaviour from other hence started hated myself at one point ,but finally started doing positive things in life ,and visited dermatologist and since one month it has improved a lot ,still a long journey to go .Just keep on making progress and believe the process ,pat on your back when needed,also don't forget to love yourself :).Good luck.
I resonated a lot with this comment!! So happy you found confidence and positivity! You got this!
3:19 - 3:28 girl... i FELT this in my soul
I started accutane last week and for the first few days I was doing well but my chest hurts now. It’s not like pain where I can’t handle it but it hurts and my stomach is starting to hurt too 😭, I’m starting of off with 40mg, I hope my skin clears up soon
It is definitely worth checking in with your doctor to make sure the pain you are feeling is normal!
The best video on accutane.💕 I forgot to ask that did your scars also go away along with acne?
Aww thank you so much!!!
I’m 12 days in hopefully this works 🙏🏽
Day 27 my skin has got worse
I hope it does too!!! You got this!
How is your skin now?
I'm starting my 3rd month and I'm still purging :( But the end result is what keeps me going
You've got this!! I promise that turning point is around the corner!
Update?
i start accutane in february and i've been scared about it but this made me feel so much better thank you!! i'm so excited to have clear skin!!
i'm not sure how long i'm going to be on it, but i am a huge sun person haha and i was really looking forward to spending a lot of time in the sun this summer - as long as you wear sunscreen do you think it'll be okay or should i be super careful?
I am so excited for you and I am happy this could calm some nerves! I am the same as you and was pretty worried about the summer! But I wore 100 SPF anytime I would be out in the sun for awhile and I always wore spf 55 on my face! As far as being outside, I wore a hat every time and if I was out swimming, I wore those long sleeve SPF shirts. Believe me, you can get cute ones that are cropped!!! I would say be cautious and balance time in the shade and you should be fine!
Im starting accutane today and i hope the results are worth it
Hey I also started mine let see how our results will be
Thank you so much for the review!! Quick question, did you wax your brows while on Accutane? And if you didn’t, what did you do instead, and how long did you wait to do so? I know you’re not supposed to wax on it, so just looking for some suggestions if there are any!
Also I had the same effects, def have dryness in the lady parts from it!
Hi! I don't do anything to my eyebrows so I never had to worry about it! I know some friends who just plucked their eyebrows themselves and a few others got them groomed with a razor instead! The dryness was not the most fun thing but it was just for the time being!
@@sarawinkler1243 Thank you very much! I heard threading works as well. I just don’t like how painful it is!! I’m glad everything went back to normal for you minus the acne post Accutane ❤️
Thank you for sharing : ) love your vibe
Of course! and thank you!
really late but i rlly hope u can respond. I have recently started taking accutane and I had two questions.
1. What was your dosage throughout each week and how long did you take accutane for?
2. What acne treatment did you take after finishing the accuatne?
THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT VIDEO.
1. My dosage started at 20mg, went to 40mg, 60mg, and 80mg by the end of treatment! Your dosage is dependent on weight and severity of acne!! 2. What I use now is epiduo forte and the ordinary's lactic acid but I rotate them! For ex: Monday I use epiduo forte, Tuesday off day, Wednesday the ordinary, Thursday off day, and Friday epiduo forte and then I follow that pattern! You are welcome!! Thanks for watching!
My acne is so so bad, its almost 3months since I'm on accutane but I've seen no result, but my dermatologist won't increase my dosage tried to convince her but she got mad saying I've watched too many videos on yt. First two months I'm on 20 mg, 3rd and 4th month I'll be on 30mg. I'm scared and sad
I hope you got it figured out. Worse comes to worse, you can find another dermatologist who will listen and take your concerns to heart!
Hello , this is so inspiring, actually i’m on my second month and 9 days of accutane (20mg) , my skin purged a lot , it’s getting better , but i’m still purging a little bit , is that normal ? I also have red marks , and i’m so worried about them .. , did u had some ? Thanks ❤️❤️
Hi! I'm happy my video could help! Totally normal for your skin to be purging and some of my friends didn't notice clear skin until month 4/5! It is very individual! I also had a LOT of red marks but once my acne started clearing up, those starting going away! Time truly heals all of your red marks!
Update?
Thank u for sharing us your journey... You look amazing stunning am talking it for three months only and my dermatologist told me that it's enough l don't know why l didn't get the results that I wanted
Thank you! What a bummer :( I would definitely work with your dermatologist, or pick a different one if you aren't happy. I have had to change doctors before because I felt so unheard. It is not fun to feel that way!
@@sarawinkler1243 thank u sweetie I'm happy cause l talk to someone who know how l feel and lam going to change my dermatologist
Plz keep supporting me...
Hey, I just started taking it today, but I’m pretty paranoid and fearful of the long term side effects. I don’t really want to face anything serious or even life threatening, and my acne isn’t even that super bad, it’s just the acne I get on my nose that stays and never goes away. Do you think I should still take it? I don’t want any negative long term side effects :(
Definitely talk to your doctor first!! I have not experienced any long term side effects other than my skin being on the drier side!
love this sm
Awww thank you and of course!! I am so happy you are having a good experience!
Hello you got the results?
@@aroundtheworld3278 yesssss , i was cured , however i am healing from acne scars but they’re going away overtime with this retinol treatment i have (tretinoin)
Can you please tell me which mostiuser and face wash you used during on accutane
@@aroundtheworld3278 for the moisturizer i used, “Neutrogena Hydro Boost Face Moisturizer with Hyaluronic Acid” and for the cleanser, i used cearve foam cleanser. i stopped using the cleanser because i realized it didn’t really help, so now i use korean rice water cleanser, which works way better! everyone skin is different so it’s up to you!
Hey Sara...I am very happy for your results. Started accutane 5 days ago. Hoping for similar results as yours...I have a question..did it help with acne scarring too since by looking at your results it feels so...:)
How did go?😊
Just started my 5th month and it’s gotten somewhat better hope it really starts to make all my hyperpigmentation go away
I am so happy to hear that!! It takes time but the results are so worth it!
Did it ever come back???
Great question! I do still get acne but it is mainly clogged pores and honestly, not a problem for me!
@@sarawinkler1243 thanks for replying,this make me feel better!
1 month and 4 days today,, hopefully i get the clear skin that i’ve been anticipating asap
Bro any update?
Hi , I'm 14 your vid was amazing . I've been to dermatologists and they told me not to take accurate until I was 16-18. however I went to a different dermatologist and he told me to take 20mg accutane and the process will be 4 months . he told me that it won't affect stunt growth etc because im still growing . I don't know if I should take it or not . I have back chest and face acne and I've tried allot of medications yet nothing will work unless I take accutane.
Definitely listen to your doctors on this one! I wish I could help here but I am not able to provide any medical advice!
I am so thankful that you had good results with AccuTane... Please Please Please though... the world's not only you. You know that.
Accutane's been trying to kill me since the early 80's. I wish I'd never taken it. I wish I could have the "old me" back. The me - before accutane. I wish I'd never thought the things Accutane makes me think.
I am really sorry to hear that! I am 100% transparent in my video that everyone has very different experiences. I truly am so sorry yours was not a positive one. Thank you for the feedback.
Your video gave me so much hope that i will also get rid of acne and scarring too❤ what you did for your scaring later on
Aww so happy to hear this!!! I was religious about applying sunscreen to ensure my hyperpigmentation didn't get any worse. Now I alternate between epiduo forte and lactic acid from the ordinary!! Talk to your doctor for treatments they can do as well :)
@@sarawinkler1243 I'm currently using 20mg isotretinoin with 20% azelaic acid because i have hyperpigmentation and active acne too. I consulted many derms to take opinions because i am suffering from acne when i was 17 and now I'm gonna turn 26 within 2 months. Everyone recommended isotretinoin for 3 months but i feel like it's so short course i already did 2 courses with same duration and my acne didn't relapse just for 4/5 months of stopping treatment.
The point is everyone recommended different topical to use with oral isotretinoin 🥺 and now I am confused what should i follow.
Also in my previous courses drs made me use clindamycin phosphate in morning and isotretinoin erythromycin gel combo in night, but at that time i didn't have so much hyperpigmentation and scarring so I'm sticking to azelaic acid as it's antimicrobial too.
One derm recommended spot treatment with benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin, do you think benzoyl peroxide helps with scarring and hyperpigmentation?
I’m going for my blood tests soon to go on it!!
Yes that is the best feeling when you know you are going on the medicine and will finally have clear skin!!
