ACCUTANE BEFORE & AFTER // My Accutane Experience

I share my accutane before and after photos and talk about the side effects I experienced while I was taking accutane over a 6 month period. Exactly one year ago I began taking isotretinoin/accutane for a rare inflammatory condition I developed on my cheeks, which was likely related to a rare form of rosacea. Although the side effects from accutane were a challenge to get through, I'm still happy I decided to treat my inflammatory condition with accutane and I wish anyone suffering with any skin-related conditions like severe acne or rosacea the very best with whatever they choose to do. 💖
My accutane dose over the course of 6 months to treat my severe rosacea was:
Month 1: 20mg isotretinoin
Month 2: 40mg isotretinoin
Month 3: 40mg isotretinoin
Month 4: 60mg isotretinoin
Month 5: 60mg isotretinoin
Month 6: 60mg isotretinoin

Hey lovelies! Thank you all so much for your support and kindness. I know this is a long one, but hopefully you found it helpful. Be sure to also check out my Accutane Q&A video here: ruclips.net/video/1cw6uR1N2a4/видео.html I love you guys! 💖✨
Big thumbs up! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! for sharing your story.
We have the EXACT same pattern of rosacea on our faces. Like yours, mine extends on the cheeks from just below the eye sockets to the jawline. Same exact redness, dryness, spottiness, and bursting pustules. I've tried everything so far: antibiotics calmed it a bit but gave me serious stomach cramps; metronidazole had no noticeable effect; azelaic acid made my skin itchier but otherwise no effect; 10 rounds of v-beam laser and the effect was like a miracle the first week but always came back within two weeks. I have since become a hermit and basically avoid all social functions because (as you mentioned) this can't be covered with makeup in any convincing way. This rosacea happened almost overnight after turning 41. I went from a perfect, even complexion, to swamp thing in about 8 months. It has completely destroyed my self esteem.
I just got 20 mg of accutane and started today. I was looking for something encouraging on the Internet to calm my nerves and make sure I made the right decision. Your video has been a lifesaver! Thank you so much for sharing your photos and being open about your condition. You have helped more people than you realize!! Seriously, your results are amazing! I have hope again. Take care of yourself and god bless.
Katie Scanlan After watching several RUclips videos I can say that your story perfectly describes what happened to me ( blush, followed by small bumps that later turned into pimples). The only difference is that I had a terrible breakout in my forehead and temples, and a milder breakout in my cheeks. I’m currently taking accutane and that definitely helped a lot, but I wonder how much was your weight while on the treatment. Thank you so much for sharing your story, I can’t believe how similar your case is to mine.
My face looks exactly like that!!! But worse- no joke !!! I was offered accutane but refused!
Now I'm ready to do it
I can't take it anymore!!!
Good luck! I found it helped me tremendously and I hope it does for you as well! 💖
Hi what about ur accutane experience. Reply
I can't express how much this video helped me. I'm going on accutane in a few weeks and this eased me tremendously thank you so so much.
Aw, I'm so glad to hear that! You'll do fine, good luck!! 💜
Thanks for sharing. I’m on my 5th month of accutane. The changes are so encouraging, I’m glad that I finally decided to go on accutane.
Hy kindly share ur complete experience, I am on my 20th day but still breaking out
@@lubabarozma4423 ur purging, how long did it last
@@lubabarozma4423 how is your skin now? Is it still purging plz tell
Also, you are so gorgeous! You remind me of my friend Sarah, so so pretty. I am quite jealous of your curly hair, my hair is naturally straight.
You're so real and inspiring :) Thank you for sharing!
Thank you Cecy! You're so welcome! ✨💖
You are so beautiful! I am addicted to watching accutane vids, and this is one of my favs. I am on month 4 and my experience/side effects are EXACTLY the same as yours. Same mg per month... I am super happy with my results, but my body is killing me i feel like i am 800 years old its horrible. I am a mom, AND nursing student. Its been crazy, but I'm almost done!!!! Thank you for sharing your story.
Aw thank you!! 😊 I can only imagine how much harder it is trying to be a mom and study ON TOP of being on that crazy drug. You're almost done and it is sooo worth it in the end. I have no issues to this day, so it's the light to look forward to at the end of a very dark tunnel! Good luck in the home stretch! ✨💖
im considering going on accutane and this video really really helped me feel more comfortable with myself. thank you :-)
You're so welcome! I'm glad to hear that! 😊
Just the video I was looking for! I am just about to start on this! Can't wait even though my skin is not that extreme I just have not been able to get rid of my acne... this was very helpful just subbed.
I'm glad you found it helpful! Good luck!! 😊
Love your video, thank you! I took accutane this past Feb-Aug, and I was up to 80mg a day. I had severe cystic acne, and now I have clear skin! Everything you said in your video in regards to emotions you went through as well as symptoms, is exactly what I went through. Sometimes all it takes is another person to say "I went through this too, and you know what: it sucks." Because it does suck and it's 100% not fair. Even with clear skin I find myself looking up videos on RUclips about this, it's a journey only some will understand and I feel like it will always be a part of me. Sorry for rambling, but just wanted to say thank you for all the people this video will help! You have a beautiful soul. xx Kady
Thank you so much Kady! It's definitely always a part of us and I totally understand how you and many others feel! It's awesome to feel the support! 💖✨
hows your skin doing now?
has your skin remained clear?
did u experience hair fall?
It's good to see other Nova Scotia RUclipsrs :)
Yay! East Coast reppin! ;)
This is literally exactly what I'm going through-- the exact same story. Thank you for encouraging people to see a doctor! It's been the best choice I made. I start Isotretinoin in 1 month. Thank you for providing hope for those of us on the fence because we don't suffer traditional acne breakouts.
Wow, it's such a crazy thing and I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing it. I wish you the best with your treatment 💜
I am experiencing the same exact thing!! Its horrible! Im absolutely miserable and my confidence had hit the floor. Ive cried so much over this and i have tried everything possible. 3 dermatologist couldn’t figure it out and the 4th thinks accutane is the way to go. Im glad there’s people who understand and now ik im not crazy. Everyone tells me “your doing it to urself” “oh its just acne”. Makes me so angry!! Thank you so much for sharing your story!!
I'm only 14 and have such severe acne that they say I might have to take Accutane soon! They're not completely sure, but I hope I can finally find something that helps. Your video definitely helped me feel a lot better about it though and I cried a little at the end lol. Thanks for posting this (and you look amazing)!
Aww, you're so welcome sweetie. My acne really got bad when I was around 14 as well. I'm sure you'll find something to help you whether it's accutane or something else your doctor feels is best for you. Just know that no matter what it's temporary, and will actually make you stronger. Good luck! 💖
Hell yeah! I am going through a terrible breakout right now, I do not have as many cysts as I usually do, but I have so many pimples all over my face. It's terrible. But I as well am not wearing makeup on it because like you said, that is basically my truth and me and I do not want to cover it up and I know it will get better during and after accutane, and I also think that It would most likely get worse with makeup on. But I love how you said that.
I also don't feel beautiful, like you said before you started on accutane, I feel terrible and I feel like I look like i have a disease and I feel like others might think the same. But I am just waiting until I can start accutane at the beginning of December so I can get thru with this!
Just think, by New Years Eve, you'll have been on it for a month and should definitely start to see some positive changes by then. After that it just keeps getting better and better. Good luck!
I love this so much, thank you❤
You're so welcome!!
Thank you for sharing! Very helpful!
You're very welcome Amaya! I'm glad it was helpful for you! ✌️✨
Oh my I’m on 4 weeks accutane, not a joke it’s an explotion everywhere, hopefully will get better I can’t wait to see the results!!!
Thank you for this video! I have had severe acne due to the nexplanon (been off of it for a year now). I haven't been to a dermatologist yet, but I'm going to. I hope I'd be a good candidate for accutane. I'm terrified but I hope whatever the dermatologist prescribes works!
You're welcome Richelle! I'm sure with with help of a dermatologist you'll be put on the best treatment for you. Good luck, you'll get through it!
I'm glad it worked for you. You guys need to be careful about potential side effects and keep checking with your doctors. My friend suffered a psychotic break as a side effect so please be aware. It's a rare side effect but it is something to consider.
It's definitely an intense drug, and I totally agree that being aware for psychological changes (although rare) is a good idea.
thanks for sharing ur experience.... I was also suffering from acne for d past 2 years....
nd I had also started isotretinoin course .. nd now after 15 days there is no effective change ..but after watching it video...I feel that my acne will also clear soon...
thnku for sharing
u r too beautiful...
nd u ha aa very nice soul
Nishi Arora hi! I was wondering how your journey with accutane went. As someone who is also desi I’m afraid of how the medication will affect me.
I’m on accutane for 39 days now and my acne is soooo much better now and actually didn’t break out a lot I broke up a little bit on my first week but now it’s amazing
Kindly do share about your experience, I am on 20th day still breaking out
Hello I'm pretty sure you had rosacea I have rosacea and my skin looked exactly the same it was rare when I went to the derm he knew right awake it's rosacea type 2 acne and yes I would also get flushed red but mine got worse and I had my face look deformed before I went but I took turmeric pills and wore a turmeric mask homemade and that had taken mine away dramatically, I am so happy for you that you got it taken care of and have clear skin I know what it's like to suffer through what you went through I did to for 3 years and I just wanted to hide but now my skin is clear to and my world is normal again I am glad to know you found yours too 💜☺️😊
My daughter is suffering since age 17 and she's now 20 and she's very depressed about it she's tried everything from laser treatments to oral medication like doxycycline and topical treatments and it's a bit better but she still has issues with her skin and very sensitive and dry and now her eyelids are quite red and her skin is itching. Can you tell me more about the turmeric
My skin is absolutely the same how yours was and I'm on week 2 of Accutane tomorrow. I can't wait for it all to be gone!!
I feel you! Hang in there, it keeps getting better and better! Good luck! 💖
Katie Scanlan My skin is so soft and my pores are getting smaller. I love it so far!! 💓 Thank you
How did it go?
Hey!! Such an inspiring video. You look awesome!! Even I was going through that worse phase of acne and had tried everything I could. Took hell lot of antibiotics and vitamins, etc but was reluctant to take Isotretinoin.
Ultimately I decided to go on Isotretinoin but just before that I had to travel to Germany for a few months and someone adviced me to Use Sebamed Face wash and Sevamed Clear Face Care Gel. It has worked wonders for me. I still have acne but it has reduced to almost 90%
If they reoccur I'll take Isotretinoin this time because I don't want to go through that Trauma once again.
Also, from my past experience I can say that ultimately your scarring will definitely go away. By scarring I mean the red marks not the Ice Pick Scars. Just be positive.
Thankfully I dont have Ice pick scars :)
Thanks a lot for this video. Only people who have gone through this will understand the emotions and low self esteem which we go through during this idiotic ailment.
You truly are a beautiful Soul and you also look amazing.
Thanks a lot for the Video.
Cheers
aashish sahni thank you so much for your lovely comment! It means a lot to connect with anyone suffering from skin related issues, as you know! Good luck with your skin! 😊
I am also on accutane. I have red marks all over my cheeks.. Glad to hear this positive comment by you,that those red marks will fade away😊😊
@@ashna.s2831 hopefully yes :)
@@aashishsahni90 😊😊😊
Thanks for the video. I will be on Accutane next month. Super excited and scared. New subbie here🙂
You're so welcome and thank you! It's an intense journey but I do feel the results were worth it. In the harder moments I always reminded myself I was strong enough to get through it, and you will be too!
Katie Scanlan Thank you for the encouraging words!
@@nellsplace9963 Howd it go?
Chewy Piano It went very well! Can’t remember my skin being so smooth. I completed my treatment, I believe a year ago. I still have the scars but I no longer get cystic acne and my breakouts are less severe. Thanks for checking back on me 🙂
@@nellsplace9963 Thank you! What was your dosage and length and did u purge or get bad side effects?
Hi I think i might have the same thing that you had! I started out with the same flush and I'm currently seeing a dermatologist to see what is going on...thanks for the vid!
rm accounting wow that’s crazy cuz I had the same thing you guys did! I started getting flushing on my cheeks and thought I had rosacea or lupus then I got bumps everywhere that filled with pus. I ended up on Bactrim for a week. My skin cleared a lot but to this day I struggle with moderate rash like acne like breakouts at times. And my face is very scarred. Not huge pock marked scars but a lot of them some a bit deep. I find prosacea gel has been helping more than anything ever has.
i already used accutane about 1 month, my acne goes wild haha i hope my face will be better again.
thank you for your sharing :)
Sherly Toresia I so hope you start to see results with your treatment Sherly! Sending good healing vibes 💖
How did it go?
I'm pretty sure you had rosacea fulminans. I went back to the dermatologist yesterday after being very dissatisfied with an appointment with a PA at their practice 2 weeks ago. I asked to be put on accutane then but she wouldn't listen to me and put me on 25mg of spiranolactone and financea foam. I had 2 dermatologists look at me yesterday and the more senior doctor told me that this is a very rare condition. I couldn't find any RUclips videos on rosacea fulminans so I will make my own, but just thought you might want to know the name of what you had.
thabk you so much for this video. I have also Rosacea and now is agail the time when it gets so worse. I want to try accutane. I cant take this no more.
excellent video! I´m on accutane as well and it´s such a maddening situation. I guess that diet changing didn´t work for you because in your case it wasn´t acne. Well, to be honest I´m not sure but I do have acne and changing my diet seems to be working. Thanks for sharing your story with us!!
Hey! I was just wondering what was your day routine, such as what did you use on your face. Other than taking accutane, what are some good tips you should do while on it. This is will be extremely helpful, because my skin is actin the same way you described it and im on my first 1 month.
The best thing you can do while on accutane to ease your discomfort and side effects is to stay very well hydrated. Aside from that, I would say using a very gentle moisturizer like CeraVe was really the only thing I applied to my face. If you're going to be in the sun for any reason, then sunscreen is also important. I also went through lip balm like crazy and used coconut oil for keeping the rest of my body hydrated. It's an intense ride being on it, but just know that it's not forever. Good luck! 😊
Ha i have the exact same thing. just started accutane today ive had enough
You look amazing. Thanks for the info. My daughter has been struggling with acne rosacea last 3 years and tried everything. They have flattened but gets occasional bumps. Now with cold weather her eyelids are reddish and her skin is so dry. Dies thisean this cured your acne rosacea or can you still have.flare ups
Thank you! I’ve never had flare ups and I’m sorry to hear she’s dealing with that. I hope you can find something that helps!
Do you have any of the symptoms (back pains and moodiness) after accurate ? Or are you back to your normal self?
dang every video I've watched so far everyone has started at 20mg. ive been on accutane for about 6 weeks and I've been at 80mg since the start
Diego Nava Oh wow! The dosage is also based on body weight, so guys do end up on higher doses usually. I hope your side effects aren't too intense, if they are they can always lower your dose a bit until you adjust. Good luck!
After we are off of the accutane treatment, does our face return back to being as oily and greasy as the past before the treatment or the treatment reduces the oil production permanently ?
Would you recommend accutane for someone with mild acne???
how prettyyy are you !
That's so sweet of you to say! Thank you for watching! 😊
Hi 👋 this is motivation video but i want to know something im also took accutane for the last 6 month’s ago this month in 20 March my curse was complete but still i have alot of redness in my face and what is that and what should i do?
Thank you for sharing 🙏 I just started my second month at 40mg a day and I am really freaked out about the joints issue as I do gymnastics. I'm HORRIFIED that i won't be able to train normally...
You're so welcome Sharon! Stay hydrated and be sure to eat a lot of healthy fats which can help with that. I so hope you don't have the same pain, but I was told it's a rare side-effect if that helps any! 😊
Sharon ask your dermatologist about taking fish oil, it's something I wish I looked into because I had joint pain and I am a weightlifter. I just dealt with the pain but in hind sight I would ask if you are able to take fish oil or glucosamine for you joints. Good luck and it will be over soon enough!
Kady Chochrek Thank you so much I will try that!!!
I just found your video and i love how informative it is and how detail you are in explaining everything. And i love love love the fact that you reply to almost every comment. i think you are extremely beautiful and i know how horrible it is not to be able to be confident because of acne and skin problems. I'm currently on Accutance for the 2nd time now, i had my first about 3 years ago. i forgot all of my experience with it the 1st time, i wish i had documented it, :< But this time i dont have super bad acne so im only on 20mg for 3 months. I wonder when did you start to see the results and were the dry lips that bad? I hope if possible i can ask you some more question through email or something... thank you so much
Hi Huyen! Thanks for your sweet words! 😊 Sorry to hear you have to go back on Accutane. I started seeing really noticeable results after about 2 months. The dry lips were pretty bad but only after my dosage was increased to 40mg. So at 20mg, you shouldn't notice too much discomfort. Just get a few good chapsticks and drink lots of hydrating fluids and you'll get through it. I hope that helps!
Katie Scanlan thank you for replying and your kind words. :) may i ask did it help with uneven skintone, hyperpigmentation or scars?
Ps. I really like your airbnb review videos 😍😍
Thank you! 😊 My experience has been that hyperpigmentation does fade very slowly over time, but it's gradual. I have some scarring still and it's been almost 2 years now and even that has been fading over time. I just found it easier to get used to the way my skin is now and embrace it. There's a lot of peace that comes with that. 💖✨
I wish I got a kit when I went on it, they just gave me the meds
I am 20 days on roccutane 10mg. What have you been eating, I need to know,I wanna have a nice diet. Happy for you, you look gorgeous!!!
I ate and still eat a pretty balanced diet. Lots of fruit and veggies, healthy fats were also very helpful during the treatment for internal dryness, and I loved drinking hibiscus/rose hip tea. It's very detoxifying and amazing for the liver which is a bit taxed on the medicine. It was nice to have herbal teas with honey especially because you can have them hot or cold and it was a nice break from just water 24/7.
Katie Scanlan thanks, what about your lover tests. My AST got a bit higher, but my dermatologist said that`s okay.
Usman Maraj My blood test numbers went up in the last few months once I was bumped to 60 mg but my dermatologist said it was still in the healthy limits.
Katie Scanlan great, thank you for the information. So happy for you, you look even more gorgeous now!!!
I'm suffering from redness due to isotretinoin? Did you have it? Does it last forever?
Are u using any product for dark spots???
Will body skin and hair scalp will trun normal or will they be dry even after Accutane is stopped
Did the joint pain/back pain go away?
Hi! My question is that were you on BCP whilst on accutane? If so, are you still on it afterwards? Sorry if it's too personal 🙈
Great question! Women have the extra challenge of worrying about birth control while taking accutane because pregnancy is definitely NOT an option while on this medication. I happened to already have a hormonal IUD (Mirena) so that was something I didn't have to worry about, but many women choose to go on birth control pills while on accutane if they're not already on them. Since doctors usually recommend that two contraception methods are used while on accutane to avoid accidental pregnancies during the treatment, birth control pills are a popular option. I hope that helps! 🐵
What was your dosage please ?
did u have hair fall .and i dont want hair fall what i should do
How is your skin doing now?
Hi thx for your review. Your acne condition is exactly the same as I am suffering at the moment, I am taking 20mg at the beginning now then 30mg the second month but it doesn't change much:( better than before but still very disgusting, and I know if I don't continually taking higher mg this won't get better but I am so worried that after taking this medicine it won't give me much changes but make me have other serious side effects in the future
You're welcome! The most frustrating part of accutane besides the side effects is waiting for the results to happen. It takes a lot of patience but I promise you will begin to see improvements each month you continue. I've been off of it for almost a year now and I have no serious side effects from taking accutane. Just healthy skin, so I encourage you to continue your treatment and keep a positive outlook as hard as it is. I'm sure you'll be glad you did! Good luck! 😊
sun jiaying hows the process?
Did it came back again or it's completely gone?
How long did you have to take it and after u came off did you have flare ups again?
Hi Ashley! I took accutane for 6 months, and I've never had any flare ups or even the slightest bit of breakouts since. 💜
how to remove scars
what your daily skincare for removing the scars ??
My skincare routine is very simple now. I usually gently exfoliate a few times a week and apply moisturizer daily. I still have some scarring that will probably never completely smooth out, but exfoliation can be helpful in reducing the appearance.
I m on accutane from 2 weaks .I m getting more n more pimples ? Y can u tell me plz.
How long my skin became sensitive 😥😥😥😥 after 3 month of accutant it still red
What products did you use while on accutane?
Mainly I used the moisturizer provided in the Accutane care kit my dermatologist gave me, which was called CeraVe for my face. For the rest of my body and scalp I used coconut oil. I also used Visine for my dry eyes and a ton of different natural lip balms (I think I went through 10 in 6 months!) Hope that helps! :)
Have you experienced loosing weight or gaining weight ?
What are the negative long term side effects of this kind of medication?
My dermatologist assured me there was no serious long-term side effects from accutane, and after a year and a half I can say I have had no issues. But of course, there are always rare exceptions with any type of medication, especially something as intense as accutane, so everyone should evaluate the pros and cons for themselves with their doctor.
The acne come back again?
what did you take for back pain?
I tried not to take too many other things like Tylenol or Advil because Accutane is so hard on the liver in high doses so instead I did very slow gentle stretches for the low back which helped a little bit and basically kept counting down the days till I was finished. It went away fairly quickly after I finished taking it, within a week so at least there's that! :)
how did it effect your mood and emotions etc.
As my dose increased, I found my moodiness increased as well (angry, short tempered, sad, crying spells). The side effects are tough to get through so I'm not sure if the drugs cause moods swings or if it's just the process of going through this. Either way, everything improved once I stopped the medication!
My dermatologist said that Accutane is out of your system after 30 days of being off of it at the end of the treatment, but how long was it until your skin went back to normal in its normal thickness and sensitivity? or did your skin still feel sensitive to the sun or anything rubbing against it? Did these side effects go away right after you stopped taking it or do you still have side effects after stopping accutane?
It is out of your system fairly quickly, so the dryness and bad side effects all went away pretty quickly within a week. But because it thins your skin so much depending on your dose and length of treatment (mine was a heavy dose and 6 full months) my dermatologist said 6 months for my skin to thicken back up to normal. So because of that, no body piercings, tattoos, or unprotected skin in the sun. A year later I find I still have some mild sun sensitivity but otherwise nothing major. :)
10 years later skin is sandpaper red dry sensitive pores lines I’m 29
I m on 20mg for my minimal rosecea....its too harsh. Makes my face flush 2 3 times and day n burns slightly...are those flushing n slight burning ok? Can i take it alternative day or so?
How are you doing now?did your face got worst when you startred?
Hello there, i was on 20mg daily accutane for papulo pustular rosacea and it works amazing! I was clear 100% but then i relapse (maybe my cumulative dose was too low) now im taking 20mg every 3 or 4 days currently (3 months). My skin is improving, i have some breakouts sometimes specially when i lifting heavy weights or when i stress alot or my diet was shittie. I have to tell you this my derm and few forum derms told me that i need to take isotretinoin for life because rosacea is chronic. When you take baby dosis like mine 20mg twice weekly you will se improvements slowly but it is safe, forget about liver, kidney problems, super dry skin, depression, etc. Those side effects only appears in high dose, there are many many people that consume this "maintenance dose" for life. There is also a well known dermatologist who take it like this. Ask you doctor about this maintenance dose before taken it this way. Sorry for my english
@@nawarah93 its normal, my face goes crazy for 2 weeks maybe, now im clear but if i forget about my diet or something i flare up my my little pustul come to say hi 😅
I am on Accutane since 40 days now but my lower back joint, left side hurts like crazy! I can't even walk properly! Will this go? When will it go if it will? :((
pragati chhetry I’m sorry you’re in so much pain. I had this too and it will go away a few days after you stop taking Accutane. Good luck 💕
How is your hair doing?
My hair has recovered fully I'd say! 😊
thank's baby 💏
Did u take 40mg a day? Or twice a day...
Yes I took 40mg a day, until the last three months and then my dose went up to 60mg, but I also took that once each day, usually after dinner with a full stomach.
After accutane, did your skin stay photosensitive and thin?
It took about 6 months to first notice my skin thickening back up to normal, and a full year to really notice the complete recovery and lack of photosensitivity.
Thank you for responding. ❤️
can accutane be used for rosacea ?
Ahsan Rafaq caused it for me
@@talksick508Do you mean that after taking accutane، you have rosacea!!!
Did the eye drops help? My eyes are so dry
They made it bearable. Try increasing the humidity in your house (if you can) and stay hydrated too!
Heyy how's ur eye now
@@dakshitabargoti2919 hi they are permanently dry. I take eyedrops everyday.
did you loose any hair?!
Hey Holly, I found I kind of did loose more hair than normal and I'm not sure if that was related to the stress of the whole situation or the actual medication. I've since found that whatever I did lose has grown back, so it was temporary at least!
Katie Scanlan thats great to hear (:
Were you on birth controls?
I am using it right now but you made super scared.
Aw I'm sorry to hear that. Accutane may be a challenging thing to go through but I would do it all over again to get the results I have now. And above anything it's made me stronger. You can get through it, good luck! 💜
Do you keep any diet? :)
I always tried to eat pretty well, but I don't keep a special diet for my skin now. The only thing I've changed is that I'm extra aware of when I'm in the sun and protect my skin well because it's still delicate even a year later. :)
cool :) and what about scarring?
I have some mild ice pick scars on my cheeks but I keep exfoliating regularly and I find with time they're still fading 😊
does accutane help with blemishes?
Yes, Accutane is primarily used for treating acne and blemishes, although one's skin usually has to be in severe shape for it to be prescribed, because of how intense the medication and side effects are.
