Roaccutane Daily Skin Vlog - Month 1
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- I've decided to film my skin every day whilst on Roaccutane.
I'm doing this for a number of reasons:
1) So I can document how my skin is changing and improving for comparison reasons for myself and you guys to see how well it works!
2) To get rid of some of the bad stigma around this medicine and show the reality, instead of horror stories
3) To show that it's okay to show your imperfections. Hopefully this will help some of you going through the same journey.
Please note: My hands have always been washed just before filming this video so please don't tell me off for touching my face too much. That's not what is causing the acne.
Back story: I've had acne for 10 years and tried multiple antibiotics and none have worked! I've also tried using different products, giving up dairy etc with no success.

acne is literally the devil I've cried that many times over my skin and its literally crippled my self esteem
Sometimes, resorting to what mother nature has to offer is the best way to treat our ailments. I got rid of my acne using prescribed topicals. I've been on them for years and can't use any other facial wash and beauty products because i'll break out. And I've been wanting to do what other girls can do to their faces like doing face masks, etc. However, I discovered Perfectly Posh company. After I tried their products, they did not irritate my skin at all and does the job of what their advertisements say. I stopped using my prescribed regimen for a month now and my face never broke an acne with only using their products! I got bored using non-scented cerave/cetaphil thing. But I'm glad perfectly posh made my skin regimen more fun and enjoyable! P.S. also, their healing body creme did smoothen my bumpy, red arms a lot in just one night!
So relatable :(
ikr :(
Same here😭
I had really severe eczema as a kid and had to wear long sleeves all the time...I was embarrassed to stay over at kids houses so I didn't (because I would just get dead skin all over the sheets) ....I didn't want people to touch me either cuz my skin was really dry, red, flaky awful. : / I cried a lot too.
My heart broke when she started crying, I know what it feels like to be self cautions about acne
Alexander McDonald "self cautions"
EverlastingAura you know what she meant oh well ahah
Alexander McDonald m also agree wid uh ....m sufffering now this condition
Hurrum Sultan M also
same, being made fun of , ect.
I would do anything for just a normal skin, doesn't have to be flawless, just... Normal, no acne
I've been struggling very severe cystic acne since I was 7,now I'm 19 and still have it...and guess what?Way worse than before....😒😒😭😭😭😭😭Like it gets worst everyday!And Don't assume things like "You have a poor diet" or something because my freaking acne it's genetic!I HATE IT!
Every time I go out I see people looking at me and laugh.Last week a group of guys cane up to me and said "Ewwwwww!You're uglier than a monster!" "Go kill your self".I've been having really bad mental breakdowns since then.I tried to kill myself 6 times this year!I just wanna be beautiful,I just wanna have clear skin!And no matter how many pills or products the doctor gives me I still have fucking cystic acne!FUCK YOU GENETICS😭😭😭😭
I love dogs I’m really sorry to hear that, but you need to stray strong and keep fighting... It’s something a lot of people actually go through, but remember it’s not so crucial that you need to end your life for it. There is no good reason to end your life, and there will never be one, trust me... even if it seems things can’t go worst. You need to love yourself for what YOU ARE, not for what other people think or say about you. What they say, doesn’t really matter, they are no better. I hope you actually spitted in their faces when they told you such bad things, and if you didn’t, do that the next time that something like this will happen. Stay strong and don’t worry about what people thinks about you!
Hi Dear. Am fiza from pakistan. i have acne but its not genetic. its due to sebum production. . if u feel alone you can chat with me. am with u always. u r brave my dear
@@Michelle-ky8qt I can help u if u want
You got this man, it’s 100% possible. Someday, you’ll have clear skin, maybe not tomorrow or the week after, but someday. Stay strong dude
my acne isn't even that bad but I still feel that pain and depression.. people should appreciate more their clear skin..
Gina From Korea i think the same.. some people are really lucky and they don’t even know
soooo true i would be eternally grateful for the rest of my life if i finally had clear skin
Yess
Gina From Korea yes especially when they say your face looks okay 😒
Soo true 👍 and it makes me feel so sad when I hear that a person hardly even washes her/his face daily and has perfect skin and yeey there's me who gets acne from just anything
I hate how my mom tells me my acne is just puberty, it’s not.
Jaidyn Ramirez same like 🤦🏻♀️
Exactly! Mine it's genetic and IT WILL NEVER GO AWAY😭😭😭😭😭😭I've been struggling very severe cystic acne since I was 7,now I'm 19 and still have it...and guess what?Way worse than before....😒😒😭😭😭😭😭Like it gets worst everyday!And Don't assume things like "You have a poor diet" or something because my freaking acne it's genetic!I HATE IT!

Genetics 😢
I love dogs talk to me if you need someone to talk to, I feel your pain 😭
Same OMG
Omg when she started crying it broke my heart. I feel this way constantly about my skin and it’s such a struggle.
Day 18 literally broke my heart. I know exactly how you felt, I've had so many days like that, you just feel like crawling into a hole and hiding. Thank you so much for sharing this with us, it's so helpful for us to see... I've wanted to try this antibiotic for ages, but it's really made me nervous. So thank you for showing us your journey! 🙌🏼🙌🏼❤️
thanks
Same here! I am super nervous but having acne for 5 years really damaged my self esteem. I can relate 100%
accutane is not antibiotic .. accutane (isotretinoin) is a form of vitamin A derivat .
I tried it and, in spite of being hard, I'm very happy with the results!! In a few days I will be finishing the treatment ☺
i went on accutane and apart from the dry skin, it really does help. completely clears up your acne.
I wanna cry
I can't imagine my skin without acne
when the day is come in my life
Hey Aditi. Out of personal experience - my acne went away when I changed my diet. I no longer eat any sugar, gluten or conventinal dairy. I also always prepare my meals at home and it has gone so much better. I added Omega 3 rich foods like avocado, chia seeds and salmon.
I also had Acne and i started to Drink Zink Tabletts. And it helped! My Ance went after some Weeks. Try it :) but i need to say, it needs Time
Aditi Sharma If you want to kill acne, just use lemon with oat as paste or cream and use this for 15 minuts and lemon clean in a great way and oats absorbs oil and skin gets healing in a wonderful way. I had this problem around 12 years ago, I was using that and never have been suffering that kind of problems with acne. GOD Bless 😊😇💗🙏
I get bumps it hurts bad
me too😔
day 18 made me so SAD ugh poor baby. I feel this pain
Me to, that hit home so hard 🤧
This is incredibly brave of you. I found this quite emotional as I used to suffer quite badly from acne. I can't remember if this is the same treatment I did, but it worked for me. So I wish you the absolute best x
I agree so brave! I have also posted about my own journey, id love you to take a look? ruclips.net/video/EVq8H72zGqQ/видео.html
Try Cetaphil sensitive foam face wash then apply toner try Dickinson's pore perfecting toner then what I usually to for scaring I use vitamin e oil afterwards and use it as. Primer .I usually us powder and a little blush no harsh chemicals like foundation . well hope you let me know how it goes .message me about te vitamin e supplimants I can give you info .it's for scaring and just about any skin problem
Jenny Miranda its so incredibly rude to just tell people to try this or try that when they didnt even ask for it. its just like asking someone with acne to wash their face ugh
JackHoward same I feel like I’m depressed because of it don’t want to say depressed though because that’s a big thing to say I think but I feel I’m rlly down and don’t want to go out and I’m always angry because I just hate how I look 😭
i had bad acne in the eighties my doctor prescribed me retin a acid cream i put it on my face twice a day for one month i never had acne again 30 years later my nephew had bad acne i told him about retin a acid and he had his doctor prescribe him retin a within a month his acne was gone
i cried watching this because I feel your pain.
ur sexy
I do not speak English well, but I wanted to help others a bit, so I used an English translator. Please understand if I can not speak English. First of all, I am Korean, and I used to have a lot of acne on my skin. I cried a lot because of acne. I drank more than 2 liters of water a day to get rid of acne. Also, I did not touch my face with my hands and did not eat a lot of flour food. Also, I did not make makeup every day. I slept on my face with aloe every day before I slept. If you practice these, your skin will get better. It takes a lot of time and effort to get rid of acne. Do not be stressed much and always smile. I hope my comments help you. sorry . My English really bad 😭😭 If you curios about something to me , you can ask me ! Luv you from Korea ❤️❤️ cheer up ~~
김가현 아큐탄 했어요?
Now your acne has gone doing these procedure at your home?
Parwati Bhatta yeah!
do you use any products before the aloe vera?
The Bella is awesome Yeah I’m really not good at English . I know . Sorry . :(
day 18 made me cry seeing u cry, i feel the same. there's days when i don't even wanna go to school bc of my skin.
Yesenia Sanchez even me
Same like the bumps hurt to no no no
Same
Same
I recently decided to get homeschooled due to my skin
anyone else start crying when she started crying?
L. Whit yea i was feeling that pain. Its sooo hard, i hate acne
Yes
Hi
L. Whit yeah as i relate
Yes... I felt really bad..
You are so brave to do this ...I can't even watch people directly in their eyes because I'm so ashamed of my skin...I've cried so many time...I pray so many time and feel like God don't even hear me out...I feel so lonely...my friend's face is very clear I feel so disappointed when I'm walking with them... watching this makes me realize that I'm not alone in this...❤️❤️❤️love y'all
Snethemba Mkhize I hope your acne will disapeared
Snethemba Mkhize this is like exactly me
It can be hormonal!!! Please get checked, sometimes when acne is this bad and doesn’t go with anything it is just hormonal and you can get rid of it by taking birth control
Snethemba Mkhize we are so relatable ;-; And I love you
I feel the same way 😞 I cry & just prays it goes away
I cried with you.. I understand your struggle.Your skin will clear up beautifully.
CAN WE ALL JUST TALK ABOUT HOW GORGEOUS THIS GIRL IS, I ASPIRE TO BE LIKE YOU. SO CONFIDENT, SO BEAUTIFUL HEART EYES I LOVE YOU
Sapna Singh I really don't get people who say such things, you're trying to make her feel worse, you're a terrible human being. Grow up fool.
Katie Snooks You're beautiful with and without acne
Claritys you kinda have to get used to those kinda people
Caitlin Johnson I know right! She's beautiful!
Acne is such a difficult problem and hard to deal with but never forget your not alone ,millions of people suffer from it , it drains your self confidence and makes you feel unattractive but we are all beautiful xx
Cara Smith thank you for saying this😭😍
❤❤❤❤
I wonder where u are rn in your acne journey
I cried at day 18, cause I've been there so many times :(
elliekinzz1 me too . I don't want to look at the mirror 😔😭and even go to school😭😭
Hate it I get made fun of at school for acne I remember being called acne face last year at school I cried so much I had to go home and it still happens I feel like my acne is getting worse
Me too 🤧😔
I cried too, it really pains me too see that suffering although I know she's better now
Day 18 was so real and it truly shows how terrible acne is it really can make you depressed I felt so bad seeing that bc I can relate. I'm sure your skin is doing tremendously better now as this video is from a while back.
when you said you put on your foundation then didn’t like it and took it off, then did it again, then took it off again
shit, i felt that
Same 😭😔
I can totally relate to how you felt day 18. Like,people who don't have acne don't understand how bad seeing your face covered in pimples feels like. How insecure,stressed and depressed it makes you feel. You had the courage to do this video and that means a lot. You are a beautiful and strong girl. Acne can't change that. I hope it gets better
Day 18. It completely broke my heart. I cried with you. I’m 13 but I do suffer from a small bit of acne. Obviously it’s not the same but I just wanted to say you are GORGEOUS. You are beautiful and acne does not change you. Keep going and I hope it improves ☺️💙
Day 18 was like 😔 I feel so so sorry, I want to hug this girl and tell her that everything is gonna be ok. So sad.
Me too, I wanted to cry with her
Couldn’t stop staring at your lips , eyebrows and eyes 😱😱 they are gorg , wasn’t even concerned by your acne , your braver than many people I know , be proud , be you , only you can be you , your perfect the way you are with your insecurities, doubts and scars , life is too short to worry ❤️
Riley Samedies well said
i've cried so many times because of acne, and i have the exact same skin like you on day 18.

Or another thing is, do you drink a lot of milk? Do you eat a lot of red meat? Some peoples bodies react to red meat and dairy by causing acne, maybe try going milk and red meat free for a month or two? You can do some further research on it, just a suggestion.
when you start accutane sometimes there is an purging period in which your acne gets worse so dont be discouraged when you start and get a breakout
Day 18 made me very emotional... Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one struggling with acne but it helps seeing that others feel the same way... wish you all the best :-** and thanks for your honesty :))

Cannot express how brave you are and how appreciative I am that you have documented acne is such a genuine and real way. Thank you for being a great human being
Girl, I have so been with you at day 18... Acne is such a hard thing to deal with, it has a nasty way of making you just feel like crap. I just wanted to say that I think you gorgeous and I am so happy that you vlogged your experience :)

i feel like a lot of people dont understand how good it feels on those days where you feel like your skin is looking amazing like to others it may still look terrible but to you its just great. that feeling of waking up and walking over to the mirror to see improvements, major or minor, is such a good feeling. i feel like acne gets pushed under rug a lot like ive noticed its not really mentioned on media that much. with all the other disorders and illnesses that affect many people, which are all obviously important too, i dont think acne has been brought out as much and many dont understand how much it can knock down your confidence in such a short period of time, how it can hurt and how crap it can make you feel. a lot of people just seem to take there skin for granted and not consider whats going on for other people because acne is so visual. and the fact that some dont understand why we wear makeup to try and cover it to make ourselves feel better
i feel like this video was really inspirational in a way, to show those who have acne that you arent alone with your struggles and that its not all that easy.
i also want to thank you for documenting this as im guessing this journey means a lot to you and its must take a lot of courage to show that you know, maybe your not as perfect as you like to be. because nobody is and thats okay
i really do feel like this is such an inspirational video, for everyone
thank you katie and i hope this journey goes well for you :)
Watching you on Day 18 had me in tears, I felt that. I would put make up on, take it off, then miss college because my confidence was so low.
I thought I’d grow out of it but I’m 24..... I was wrong lol. Been to the doctors today to get a prescription, time to take control of my skin!!
I honestly can't figure out why you don't have like 10 million subscribers!! I cried along with you for day 18! Ly Katie xx
You're too kind!
+Katie Snooks I just came home from school and saw you replied to my comment. Thanks for making my day xxx ly
so did I, you're beautiful even when your skin was bare and you had pimples!
Lisa O'Keeffe because she is ugly and dirty af??
Kimberly Florey look at her fucking acne... Nobody deserves 10 mil subscribers when he or she looks like that
It was really difficult to hear you say you didn't feel beautiful. I know it's just words coming from a stranger but you ARE so beautiful. You really are, inside and out. X
I suffer from acne and it really affects my confidence and self-esteem. I also go to highschool so looking around and seeing beautiful girls with such clear skin ruins me. I’ve gone to doctors and I’m on my different things that aren’t showing results. I can really relate to your emotional journey. Sending love, peace and CLEAR SKIN. 💗
You are the most beautiful human being, inside and out ❤️
Thanks so much Alix, too kind xxxx
Don’t worry boo, I can relate (especially on day 18). It’s sad because I cry everyday wondering what it would look like with clear skin. I’m so self conscious, but I refuse to wear makeup. Girl I’ll stick with you. Stand strong, you’re very brave and I admire you so much.
Heart Maker I can relate to but on my back. I’m finally almost a month in on Accutane, and being a girl who’s 14 it hurts when girls at my school wear dresses and show skin. And I have to wear T-Shirts. It hurts because that’s not the type of person I am. I love fashion and wearing dresses and going all out. So it’s not even me. I hope it helps.
I cried watching when it got to day 18, I’ve felt like that so many times ❤️ you are not alone, and you really are beautiful x
When you started crying I also started crying. As someone who suffered from acne since the age of 13 till 22 I know exactly how you feel. I also was on roaccutane. I'm not gonna lie my initial breakout was horrendous And my face didn't clear up till about the last month, and even then my skin was still left with scars and hyperpigmentation marks. My heart genuinely does get upset when I see people with acne. My acne was painful! I couldn't slightly touch my face. Whenever I washed my id end up in tears because it was really painful. I didn't find accutane hard I didn't get loads of side effects however I am left with chronic dry lips. My skin is starting to become bad again and If I need to go on roaccutane again then I will. Only people with acne know what it is like. It's painful and humiliating. It's not as simple as "wash your face and don't wear make up". I hope your skin is better now and all the best girl❤️❤️

Honestly teared up so much during this. I have chronic excema which gets severely bad at least a couple of times a year. By bad i mean my skin goes very stiff, red, spotty, extremely dry and flakey and my whole face swells up so bad that its hard to open them. i went through the exact same problems as you. I felt extremely depressed and my confidence levels dropped so low that i cried all the time! Its so refreshing to see you do this video and show your acne to the world when i couldn't even leave my room. You're a true inspiration and more beautiful than you can ever imagine. Inside and out. Love you Katie. xoxox
I have the same exact things! Ive had chronic eczema all my life and it's terrible. Are there any creams that have helped it clear it up? (Other than the general ointments that leave pigmentation)
I had acne as a teenager, it was awful. But one thing I never did was let it get me down. I always did what I wanted and not care what anyone thought. You are beautiful and don't ever forget that.
I sware you look pretty. Im not grossed out of those red dots on ur face. But of course i understand your struggle :) good luck !!!
she's beautiful
+Eli Yaeli you're beautiful
Yeah she's beautiful no matter what
hi，u need to stop couching ur skin with ur hand，cuz hand are not clean so it will make it worst
sunny girl♡ read the description dumbass!
Day eighteen describes how I feel every day, I'm 12 I've had acne since I was 7. It gets better and worse, I really want to take accutane but my parents don't think it's healthy for me at least. I don't wear foundation so I have to walk in to a judgemental middle school everyday with my bare face. I actually feel like garbage everyday
Alex A. You are beautiful
Do not take it, it is devastating for the health you will have seversl health problems and you can have depression..do not take it ! And do not listen to the others, you are beautiful !
Ik how you feel! I’ve had it since 11 and I’m 13 now and it’s the most depressing thing ever! I had to go through middle school bare faced for years and it crippled my self esteem! But it’s fine, since my skin is so close to being clear now because I used this product called “Liz Earle” which is natural lol
Same I’ve had it since I was young too (about 8) but back then it was barely anything, now it’s bad
Think carefully about accutane if you're going to use it. In exchange for beauty, your body will permanently be damaged
When she started crying it made me emotional I know how she felt especially when makeup won’t work with it you feel so trapped
She’s still so beautiful with or without acne 😌
You are so pretty! ❤
Day 18 was so hard to watch as it was so relatable!! It's so good to see improvements already, I feel like my skin didn't improve half as much in the first month!
i sat with a ball in my throat wanting to cry.
I've abosultely loved watching your previous videos on roaccutane Katie! My skin has been relatively good so far in month 2 but I'm seeing my derm on Monday who might put me up a dose so I'm expecting it too get bad again! xx
Aw thank you!! Your skin may break out a little again but I don't think it will be as bad as the initial breakouts, whenever I upped the dose I had a bit of a breakout but it also began to clear up a lot faster :-) xx

My 16 yr old son is about to start Roaccutane for his acne, I watched this to get some advice on just what might happen during the first month, you are a brave, beautiful and inspirational young lady. Be very proud of yourself and thank you for doing this.
Katie you are incredible and brave to film this :) You are beautiful no matter what just remember that!
I feel yoir pain at day 18...it was so bad for a month and it hurt and was too depressed to go out...and my mom who has never had acne told me I can't always let that keel me in, it can't keep being an excuse. But my brother sister and I have all had it even though neither of our parents did. And my mom would get mad because my acne stuff kept costing her so I fiy told her (I was in tears cause I was tired if being told these things from someone who never dealt with it ) "You know what...do you honestly think this is fun for me? Don't you think I know there are better things that money can go to, but this isn't a choice. And I don't like having to get the stuff anymore than you do...especially the huge painful cysts and so many scars" That finally got throughto her cause I could see by the look on her face she felt guilty...and she never mentioned it again
Melody Vaughn this was literally my life all through high school.... I use to hate her so much lol
I am also on roaccutane and it's a rollercoaster..I also had a moment when my skin had gotten worse, but now it is healing and getting better. Good luck and stay strong! The results will show that it was worth it xx
Hey how is that treatmeant goin on ?
in all honesty i’m so proud of you for publicly sharing your journey. I have acne and i’m dealing with the same thing. it’s terrible and i totally get so emotional and some days i just want to stay inside all day bc i feel so disgusting. I 100% feel your pain. keep doing what you’re doing 💞

@@wilsoneusebio777 your grammar can use some work. And do you not think I tried that before fixing my Acne? For most people it takes a more internal approach and nothing you put on your face is going to work, I tried it all. I had to completely change my lifestyle and so have many many others. I'm trying to help people and your spamming this crap about putting oatmeal on your face, it doesn't work dude leave it alone. Everyone that has suffered with cystic acne I mean REALLY suffered has tried it all.
Hi there! Not sure if you'll even see this comment, but today made my 7th day on Roaccutane and I just found this video. My skin looks extremely similar yours and I haven't really had anyone to talk about my acne with who understands. This video was so overwhelmingly relatable that it brought tears to my eyes. While it may not seem like much, I thank you for sharing your journey. I'm not sure you realize just how comforting and helpful it is. And for that, I am grateful. I feel more confident and inspired. Thank you :)
Yes whzn you speak with your cousin she just sqys "dont talk to me about that it brings me negative vibe" i understand her but... she doesbt do the same with me and people keep saying "oh its nothing cmon it'll go away and i had worse acne " i feel like an ugly shit who has zero confidence and so guilty about that
Only acne prone skin people could really understand you. I break out a lot too. I am planning to check my dermatologist of proper medication. Thank you for being brave miss.
Day 18 broke my heart :( when you said you applied 2 different foundations but hated them both so you room them off, I can so relate to this, I will do my eyemakeup and love it but then I'll apply 3 different foundations and non of them will look good and it makes me feel disgusting as I have extremely combination skin and I'll end up not going out and crying in my bed for hours, so glad you noticing some difference and it will hopefully work for you
You're so brave. It broke my heart when you said you don't feel beautiful, I'm so sorry you've had to deal with problematic skin, I'm 16 and never have clear skin but wouldn't say I have acne but I know how bad it can feel and how having spots can bring your mood and your confidence down. I really admire you Katie, and you honestly are beautiful inside and out. Well done for posting this, it will help so many people. All the best. X
This is such a sweet comment, thank you Becky it means a lot. xxx
Lol back here after being prescribed accurate! who would’ve thought! Hoping for results like Katies
Ok apart from having the acne, every time you’ve shown your skin it looks so dewy like you’ve taken care of it and washed it and properly moisturized it
I literally cried when you were crying this is such a relatable topic for me. I admire you soo much for having confidence in yourself by posting this. Just remember you are beautiful no matter what you look like stay strong and positive 😊
I've had acne since I was a teenager (I'm 34 now). I've always wondered what it is about the skin on our faces that makes it susceptible to acne. I mean, if you look at the skin on our necks, shoulders, hands, legs there is NO ACNE whatsoever. So why does it happen on our faces??
People who have really bad acne can struggle with it on shoulders and backs and the chest area as well but I think this is put down to these areas being warm/sweaty , but the facial skin is finer and more sensitive than any other skin hence why it's affected by dryness/dehydration more than other skin so maybe it's similar with acne
most of them about carrying a lot bacteria on hands and we are touching our face so much
beyza yilmaz
I agree! This is precisely why I never touch my face. I keep my hands far away from it (aside from when I wash my face in the morning and before bed).
Vanessa Buttino my chinese therapist says acne is caused by internal heat, heat tends to go up, to our head...but not everone agrees

I’m on Day 16 of my roaccutane medication & this video has given me so much confidence knowing that it will get better - I get so low about my acne, and I'm so grateful for videos/people like this. Thank you.
This video is so inspirational, and you are so beautiful! I can't wait to see your skin at the end of your course- my boyfriend was on Roaccutane for 9 months and it completely cleared up his skin! :)
Soph ❤❤❤❤
You remind me so much of myself. Especially on day 18. I've been dealing with cystic acne for 5 years and it's just terrible!! I am going to a consultation for Accutane next week. I hope I can start on it. Also, what moisturizer do you use for your face and lips? Also do you have any foundation that you notice works best with the dry patches? You are so beautiful by the way!! And so brave. I wish I was like that.
I used Cetaphil while on Accutane to moisturize my face because it is oil free and really soaks into the face and is light weight. I still use that body moisturizer to this day. Your lips will get real dry so I recommend something really heavy duty such as blistex (I find the ones that come in little pots better than the sticks) and if it has spf that's a bonus because the skin will be sensitive to the sun. My best recommendation for foundation is stay away from matte finishes. Maybe try the Maybelline Fit Me (the original one not the matte and poreless one). Hope this helped!
+Chloe Monette Thank you so much!! :)
+Chloe Monette i agree cetaphil was my saviour
ive been on roaccutane for the past 7 months now, you should definitely try Clinique liquid matte foundation, it's oil free and works wonders! went through heaps of foundations and found that one to be the best (Dermatologist recommended it) it being matte has nothing to do with blocking your pores like Chloe says, trust me. As long as it's oil free it's fine! :) i wash my face 3 times a day with cetaphil (highly recommend it, face wash and moisturizer) i use Nourish Naturals dry skin lotion at night before i go to bed, you shouldn't really have flaky skin if you use a moisturizer every night before you go to bed. Paw paw ointment on your lips do the trick for dry lips.
+Alyssa Meyer I've never tried the Clinique foundation but I know they have good things for sensitive skin. I never said that matte foundations will clog your pores, it's just that when you have very very dry skin it doesn't feel very comfortable as opposed to a more hydrating foundation.
It's okay to cry,I did cry too because people always judge me just because I have acne or pimples all over my face.But I tried to ignore it even though it hurts...I had it since I was 7,I was self esteem that I almost wanted to kill my self,but then I found lots of people that has it too,I was finally not alone...But still I hate it to have acne or pimples,I don't even have makeup to cover it...I understand and love you! You are so pretty! Bless you
don't apologise for being TMI! it makes it so informative for people,I have been very lucky and have never suffered from acne or spots really but I still love watching videos like this,so lovey to see your journey through! and you ARE beautiful Katie,please don't think anything less x
*lovely
Thanks so much Grace, this means a lot
+Katie Snooks you're so welcome,thankyou for responding💛
Stick with the medicine!! The first month's are very hard. I'm almost done with my isotretonoin treatment. The results are amazing!
the first 3 months or? When does it start clearing up? 😟
Rena Ariel I'm also using isoretenoin the first month was 10 Mg and I broke out a lot then after three months my doctor raised the dosage to 20mg then now my second month of 20mg I have four big cystic acne. Sooo sad about it.
windyrain storm how's it going so far ?! I was prescribed 10mg the first month and now I'm going up to 20mg for the second month.
This medicine is death.
Im 14 and i ve had acne for 2 years now im sooo sick of ive been taking roaccutane for 3 months and i have 6months left im quite satisfied with the results but i still have breakouts and really acne makes me feel down and i often cry about it. I admire u for doing this and recording ur skin every single day coz i wouldn’t be able to do it. When u have acne it feels like it s the only thing ppl notice when they see u it makes u believe they think « omg what s that suoer grosse thing in her face » but u cant do anything it s not ur choice. Some ppl understand acne and dont give a shxt but others really point it out and it s the worst feeling ever. It d only been a month, depending on how long ur treatment is ur going to see more results just be patient. Congrats ❤️
When you started crying I wanted just to give you a hug! I know that sounds weird coming from a stranger. But I totally know what you felt like. It's totally not fun having acne or in general a large break out. But I promise once you find the right products that work for your skin everything will gradually get better! And just remember you are beautiful inside and out! ❤️
GIRLLL you are god damn beautiful! I know it must be hard to feel good in yourself but if only you could see how gorgeous you are!
I hate acne 😔It's full of my face 😔who know my feeling 😔
I!M here suffer almost 1 year

You are so brave. I have adult acne and I completely understand how it can really knock your confidence. Mine is on my face, neck, chest, back and arms and I get days where I just don't want to leave the house, I'm fed up wearing high neck t shirts with sleeves. I just wanted to say I think you are very brave and also very beautiful, I hope you start to feel that way soon! :)
You are such an inspiration to all Katie. Thank you from someone who suffers with acne this is amazing and inspirational xxxxxxx
No one will be believe me but. I suffered from acne at age 10! My whole face was like lasagne 😂😥 it was everywhere. But with time it’s improved but I still have some :)
me tooo Alicia Bell i started to break out really bad a few days afetr my tenth birthday and it never went away :(
-after
Sister Snatched try aloe Vera and benzoyl peroxide
I was only 7 or 8 when it started, I’m constantly exhausted because of it.
Brooo me 2
You're so brave for sharing this, its going to help some many people who suffer from acne. Remember you're beautiful x
Thank you! xx
This video is going to be useful for SO many people! Well done you for posting it. Day 18 was so relatable. When i was 18 I went on an acne medication called Isotane (i think it's similar, but developed in New Zealand where I'm from) because I had acne not only on my face, but on my back as well. I remember how utterly ugly I felt in the summer when it was too hot to cover it up completely :( I hope you know that you are stunning no matter what your skin looks like, but I know how hard it can be to actually FEEL it. I'm so happy it seems to be working well for you so far!
Thanks so much Charli! I hope you're skin is clear now :)
it is! the medication worked really well :)
CharliMarieTV If you want to kill acne, just use lemon with oat as paste or cream and use this for 15 minuts and lemon clean in a great way and oats absorbs oil and skin gets healing in a wonderful way. I had this problem around 12 years ago, I was using that and never have been suffering that kind of problems with acne. GOD Bless 😊😇💗🙏
Im getting anxious every time she touch her face like girl stoooop
me toooo
sameeeeeeeeeee, I was about to put the same comment
She does it to feel her acne/pimples lol
Lily Ren yes oh my god same feeling....
Read her description...
Hey Katie, I'm just about to start my retinol journey and found uour videos. I'm 33 and still wake up each day with something new to deal with, it's heart breaking. I've just seen your month 8 pop up on here and so thrilled at how amazing your skin looks, hoping I can document the same success!! Xx
just started accutane and you filming this must have been so hard. you are beautiful and brave.
She looks good with or without acne 😊
YAS I RELATE SO MUCH TO DAY 18!! Sometimes I literally just break down and cry because I feel so ugly. You're beautiful with or without acne btw.
You are really pretty!!! Your eyes, lips, eyebrowns and color skin are perfeeect
Ohh Katie I started 20mg of roaccutane today and watching this has brought me to tears. I know how painful acne is and how it affects how we feel about ourselves.
Thankyou for doing this video. It was very helpful xx
Best of luck to you 💜 I've got my whole Accutane journey up on my channel too, in case that could be of any use to you:)
@@LifewithShivani ahh thankyou I will have a look ❤️
You are some awesome Katie. So proud of you for sharing your journey (: x
Thanks so much Lily, this means a lot! x

I totally feel your pain on the day you were crying . My face broke out from when I used black soap to try to clear up my old scars 😞.
The feeling that acne gives you. Like I felt that day 18 cry. I’m so glad it got better for you 💗
Day 18 made me cry too😢. I know what it feels to have acne and what it can do with someone
Day 18 was so sad.. i had some teary eyes cuz i could relate to it my face cants seem to get better cuz i've been suffering from pcos so my arms, my shoulders and my neck and jaw bone always get cystic acne due to the hormonal imbalance and if i try to remove hair from my arms or face it would only worsen it so i stopped doing that. i didnt care before but now i hear a lot from ppl and i see my friends doesnt have anyting of what i got so it gets me depressed so i hope someday i would get better and u too 🌸❤
I am just going onto my third month of Roaccutane now. It is one of the hardest journeys I’ve been on with my mental and emotional health they warn you about every possibility but you can never truly prepare yourself for the true ups and downs. It’s different for everyone but I believe to deal with acne on its own you have to be an extremely strong person to then go on something like Roaccutane you have to be an even stronger person. It is so incredibly unpredictable.
Thank you so much for sharing your journey it has really helped me out and shown me that I’m not the only one dealing with the same thing. xx
As someone that also has acne I really admire how you brave you are sharing this! Please make a video on the products that you are using to help fade the scars as this is something I struggle with! :( X
I'll definitely do this video once I find some great products :) x
Day 18 got me.... I don't think I could be as strong as that wow💔💔I wanna clear my skin but my self confidence won't be able to withstand a "day 18"😭
I'm so proud of you for keeping strong. I remember one time I just had enough with my skin, I locked myself in the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror and just began pulling my face because of the thoughts of "why me? Why do I have to go through this?" And I just cried silently. It was so hard. I felt so insecure. Even in my own home, I couldn't see myself in the mirror. I tried everything, all types of products. I hated having one of my friends offer me chocolate cake and me having to say "i dont like chocolate as much anymore" but in reality, I feel like it would give me more acne. I hate having my other friend point out my acne back then, and it just made me feel super insecure, I'd go home and cry. It's painful. It hurts. It's horrible. But you can get through it. Please, keep strong and a positivie attitude. My skin isnt clear yet, but they will fade away. It takes time and just know that it's ok to feel this way. Keep your head up, you're so much more stronger than you think
I feel ur pain😭 I don't just have it on my face, I have it also in my entire body 😓
Ah literally my skin got so bad before it got better so when you started crying I knew exactly how you felt I had the same problem and I just couldn't stand it.
I know the feeling too! I took Roaccutane and I share how I clear my acne too! I truly hope it helps anyone!
Is month one the break out month?
Day 18 really hit home... I can't express how proud I am of this girl, the fact that she's doing this in order to let others know they aren't alone makes me feel like there are people out there who understand. This gives me hope that people might start to see how long and tiresome this process is.
NEED TO KNOW TIPS FOR ACCUTANE.
1. Moisturizer get a good face cream, and a body cream too.
2. Sun screen is your new best friend,this drug makes your skin sensitive to sunlight. DO NOT forget to protect your lips. Trust me it was painfull having sunburnt lips. Didnt even think about my lips.
Lip balm, get a multi pack put one in your pocket, one your bag, one by your bed, in your car...etcetc you get the idea. (I bought sun screen balm too, I'm not repeating that again) check your pockets before you wash your clothes. I've ruined at least three balms because I forgot it was in my jeans)
Exfoliation is important, you will feel smooth but you will be flaky.
Makup can be frustrating, give your self time to start over as you may find makeup crack/clings to dry skin,especially eyebrows, cheeks and nose. You may find you need to experiment with new brands as your skin type changes.
Most importantly as this the serious part. Accutane effects the way you absorb lipid fats (cholesterol), and alcohol, do not drink much alcohol and eat a low fat diet. Be kind to your liver, play it safe. It also can effect birth control, be extra safe if you are sexually active as this drug can cause foetal defects.
My journey so far.
I'm 3 months in, I felt weird each time I had to up the dose. I take 50mg the capsules are in 20mg somy routine is 2 one day, 3 the next, I use a weekly pill holder to keep track. My lips were the first thing I noticed to become dry.
I did get dry skin but not as bad as I had been told to expect. My lips did swell up once but that was my fault, I now refer to this as the sun burn incident of May 2019. It went down quickly.
Make up was a nightmare for micro flaking. It took 4 1/2 weeks for all active spots to go away, I stillhave had the odd spot on my chin around the time on my menstrual cycle but they havent been as bad as I'm use too.
Accutane can make you break out really badly about 2-3weeks in , BUT it does get better, this break out phase happens because all the built up skin, oil bacteria and genral all round pore clogging stuff are being pushed out. This part will be the hardest emotionally, But I promise give it a week to 10 days after that and you will see a diffrence. Not that I would call it a side effect but my hair doesnt get as oily as it used to either, so unexpected but happy result there.
I am currently very happy with what its achieved so far, I have a fair amount of scaring due to years of acne I have been told it will fade but I really dont know if it will,even if it doesn't I'm still so pleased with my journey so far.
3 months to go, 🤞🏻❤
Good luck everyone, hope this helps.
Von Socks thanks I appreciate it
Please for people who have acne and are desperate to try anything that they think will work: stay away from any "easy fix from the kitchen cabinet" or "how to clear your skin overnight" articles. You want good skin? go to the dermatologist, research french skincare brands (LRP, Avene, Bioderma...) that specialize in acne prone skin, drink your water... but please no lemon, milk, sugar, aspirin, toothpaste and other shit that you read on forums. Go to a professional. It'll save you a lot of time and frustration.
yasmine dermatologist usually works short term as the products they give or medication , can't be used forever . Better to find natural solutions.
Youre honestly so gorgeous. Ive suffered with severe acne in the past i know how it feels. I still get cystic breakouts and whiteheads. Stay strong love
You're beautiful Katie. With or without Acne. Beauty is skin deep. Stay blessed. Bravo!
Just wanna say how helpful this video was especially since I’m planning on being put on Accutane within this week. I literally felt so emotional with you on Day 18 because I KNOW THAT FEELING! I’ve had so many important days and have struggled applying foundation to acne covered dry skin and it sends you to rock bottom. I had to reapply my foundation 3 times for a relatives wedding and just last week I had that issue right before a concert! It’s tough but I know it gets better! Also your eyes and hair are soooo stunning! Literally a cotton candy dream 😂
Sj23 how’s it going with your Accutane?
I think day 18 is just purging. I had that day 18 as well when I woke up august 08, 2020 and I had like 10 big painful acne on my right cheek and some more on the left side. It was my 2 months on a pill and i was confused why all of a sudden i had so many breakouts. Can't imagine how depressed I was but now after on a pill for 5 months, I don't wake up with new acne everyday. I'm just healing the dark spots it left me. Hoping I will be better soon
omg babe! You are so brave to put this up! You are so beautiful hun
