Sorry for the lull in updates. Between moving, taking a vacation out of the country, and starting a new job, this got pushed to the back burner.
My skin is really moving along, I'm even comfortable going out without foundation on my better days! Still hating the dryness and the fact that I can't wear lipstick because it becomes caked and dry very fast. Anyone have recommendations? Thanks!

Your skin really looks great :) have you tried aquaphor lip repair. I've been using it from day one and I have not had any lip dryness yet. Hope it helps

Your Skin looks great girl! I read something about higher the dose the less likely to come back. My doc has me on 80mg a day and it took my skin a little longer to stop breaking out but they said higher dose works more effectively so you should be good this time around since they have you on a higher dose. Goodluck!!

My back looks so so wonderful and I didn't even realize how much it's changed until I made this picture comparison. It looks so great and I can't wait for my face to catch up!

Day 40-ish

I'm 10 days into the 70mg/day and progress continues to come. I broke out along my chin pretty badly but I'm thinking its because of my birth control affecting my menstural cycle. I got the under the skin implant (Nexplanon) in December and have only had one period since. This is the week I normally would get my period, and though I don't actually shed my uterine lining (bleed) I still go through some of the hormonal stuff. So I'm not too worried about that.
I saw my boyfriend for the first time since going on Accutane this weekend (we're long distance) and he remarked how despite my blemishes my pores are smaller and my complexion has improved and he can see a big difference. It was really lovely to hear that and get some positive feedback from one of the only people who's ever seen me without makeup.
