Use strawberrys!
I’ve been getting a fresh strawberry cutting the top of and rubbing the juice over my whole face. It’s only been a week so far and everyone is noticing the difference! I feel really good and I’m starting to get my confidence back again.
Put it on like 20 min before you go to bed, then just wash it of in the morning
It helps most for cysts and whiteheads..so far I’ve seen no difference in the blackheads. But they don’t bother me that much!
good luck!!
i will start acctane but i am goin holiday and will run out of it an wont get any untill 19 days would it be ok to go off it then on it again?
any of you heard about Apo tetra? Im on tht right now and its almost cleared up, the derm told me july 6th it should be pretty much gone
3 years o_O , ouch, i’ve only been trying 2 different type of pills the doctor prescribed me for 2 years, im on max dosage anti biotics atm, but i saw him last week, he said 2 more months, then there’s no point in keeping me on weak stuff any longer, then he’ll refer me to a dermatologist who’ll gimme accutane, yay :p
i went to a dermatologist today for the first time in 3 years and i told him that i used crams and pills etc. and he told me right away that we should try accutane. So im starting hopefully next week.
im on accutane its been 3 and a half months i had severe acne! note had. now i just have pretty bad red marks and the ocasional spot as opposed to like 10 a day im on it for 6 months kinda looks good so far wish it worked faster. just the common dry lips and skin dont worrie about all these stories of terrible side effects and especially deep dark depression its all in the mind. stay strong!
Oh and I’m on a 3 and half month course, taking 4 tablets a day, either throughout the day or all at once, I take my all at once so I don’t forget.
Just started accutane 3 weeks ago, I have dry skin, and extremely chapped and dry skin around the mouth area, I cant open my mouth properly, Ive noticed that I feel a lot more tired, I have lower back ache and for awhile my little finger on my left hand felt numb and tingly, but so far nothing is killing me and it’s all bearable depending on wether vaseline is available. I just had my second blood test today now and awaiting results, hopefully positive so I can stay on accutane.
also if your acne was so bad, how come you’ve got no scarring? o,O , i’ve got acne scarring on my forehead, at the sides now :s
my acne is pretty bad, and the shit the doctors keep giving me is useless, oxytetra cycline… erythromycin… oh, lets keep trying with erythromycin with double dosage… its making no difference, I want accutane, but they wont give it to me o,O
My accutane story is on my channel along with tips and product reviews to make your time on accutane easier. Hope its helpful!
I’m on accutane for the second time.
The first time i went on accutane was about a year ago and it worked great. From never having good skin, to having translucent skin it was amazing.
But- 6 months later it ALL CAME BACK.
So now, I’m on my 3rd month of my second try.
I can also feel that it’s not working the way it should.
Best of it is – my doctor doesn’t want me to go on a higher dose because its “annoying”
whatever… i’ll try again next year !
accutane does work, i’m so happy i took it. I remember watching this video before i started my cycle and I was so excited, seeing his flawless skin after the treatment. It worked really well for me, the treatment is usually 5-6 months, but I stopped after 4 because my acne was almost completely gone and the chapped lips were more of a problem. Take accutane, don’t worry about the sides!
@ mackin
Learn how to spell it dumb shit.
ACCUTANE = POISON
Do a little research rather than being like sheep.
i don’t think it matters when u take it, just so u try and take it around the same time every day. Also,it’s best to take it with a meal or a glass of milk, just make sure u take it with something or else something fatty, which is the best to do b/c it helps the body absorb the accutane A Lot better. Swallow it as fast as possible n don’t chew it or suck on it b/c if it breaks open it can damage ur esophagus when going down ur throat. That’s what the iPledge book that the derm gave me said
it usually always gets worse before it gets better but i’d say give it a try b/c 40 mg is a lot less than 80. The higher the dose ur on, the less time u have to be on accutane, but the side effects can also be a lot worse. I think that the 40mg may be better 4 u b/c most derms start patients off with a lower dose and then up it near the last few months of treatment. Ur height and weight should be taken into consideration too when the doc is deciding how many mg to put u on.
most take it for six months but i’ve heard of ppl taking it anywhere between 3-12 months. I’ve also heard of some who had to do a second or third course of it cuz their acne eventually came back, but it is supposed to get rid of acne forever for about 80% of patients, well, i’m pretty sure that’s what my dermatologist said
yeah man dont worry it will go away eventually.
im on accutane and i strongly suggest it. i get chapped lips but other than that i love having clear skin. my acne was pretty bad but now my skin is great. ive been on it for about 5 months and i couldnt be happier. just dont give up!
I’ve been on it for 15 days. This video makes me so happy because I’m almost a mirror of you and the dry lips is definitely the worse, I agree. And the breaking out is pretty bad, too. I just hope it gets better, your skin is so clear now, i want that so bad. I only take 1 pill a day and go in 1ce a month for blood. Interesting.

Use Queen Helena Mint Julep Mud Mask or Nu-Skin Glacial Marine “Epoch” Mud Mask. It’s the closest thing to a cure for acne. Also, just get a good soap with it too, but NOT just by itself.(Neutrogena) Drink a 1/2 gallon-1 gallon of water all day everyday. NO Greasy Hamburgers or “Milk” Chocolate. Always wash with soapy water around your mouth after eating!
