Hi friends!
It’s been 1 year and 5 days since I started accutane. Wowowowow honestly look how far I have come.
I am so happy with my face, despite minor break outs when I pms. It really doesn’t phase me though because I know that it is 100% better than before. Keep going everyone, it is worth it.
4 months after
I keep dwelling on how far I have come skin wise in the past year. I think accutane saved my life and my sanity. Although I still have deeply rooted self-image distortion, at least acne is the least of my worries. I look back at these pictures of my blemishes and try to remember what it was like to go to bed every night with an aching, throbbing face. To wake up every morning with 4-5 new blemishes. To feel the pressure of putting on make-up every day without a break. I cant count the times I have hated myself for my ugly face, and yet here I am my freshman year in college, worry free and flaw free. Accutane was the best decision of my life honestly. It was worth the dry skin, chapped lips, back aches, head aches, and crying spells. Every minute of it. Because now I feel comfortable in my own skin and that is all I ever wanted. Thank you.
I’m not quite sure about the dosages or how that effects you due to your weight.. BUT I know for me my skin was basically completely clear by the 4th month. Slowly along the way I was noticing improvement and thinking I was at the best it could be but really it just gets so much better in the 4th and 5th month. You get baby skin. BABY SKIN IS SO NICE.
Get excited. It literally does wonders. But don’t think it will take away all your insecurities; because I did. Its just one less (major) thing to worry about. And thank you so much :)
Hi its been 3 weeks since I stopped taking Accutane and I have never bee happier with my skin. I love that I can see my freckles now and that my skin doesnt hurt anymore. My face is still red but no more dryness and I dont have to worry about make up. I am so so so so so so so happy. If you told me that my skin would be this perfect 5 months ago I would have never ever believed you.
I am only wearing lipstick.
Dude idk. I know I’m not very helpful… But I did have TONS of scarring under my chin. I think it just depends on who you are. I just moisturized a lot and took care of my skin. I’m not sure if that helped me or if I’m just a lucky butt. But thank you for the compliment! :)
Day 1 vs. Day 124
HELLO I am starting on my 5th month and everything is fine and dandy! Starting college on Friday with a beautiful face! Accutane has done everything and more for me. SO happy.
OKAY :) I’ll try.
It’s different for everyone! I’m sure your skin will start changing very soon. Mine didn’t start clearing up until about that time either. And thank you :)
