So, I must have had a really good month last month. My skin has gotten very dry again and it always seems to be red. I've been having a breakout here and there again but nothing major. I'm noticing that my pigmentation has gone down a ton although I still refuse to leave the house without makeup. Im so ready to be done with these pills and these side effects but I'm happy it's helped my skin so much.

I'm finally getting clear(er) skin!!! I rarely break out anymore. Maybe 1-2 spots here and there. I don't really have dry skin or lips anymore... very minimal. More like a "normal" skin type. I'm so glad I decided to finally get on this miracle pill!

So your skin actually got less dry even as you increased your dosage? I started on 40mgs two weeks ago and am pretty dry already, I've been worried about increasing my dose.
I've been at the same dosage of 40mg 1x daily the whole time. At first my skin dried out really badly but it's definitely gotten much better over time. Not sure if that would happen if you increase your dosage though.
this is great, very happy for you! Hope I get the same results!

Amazing!!! Love your results! I too have been struggling with acne on my face & back. I'm considering getting on accutane too.
It has seriously helped me so much! I haven't regretted it one bit.

So far I have finished 2 months of accutane. The doctor seems to think I'd be good with just 2-3 more months. Exciting! No new symptoms besides being less dry.

Wow you look amazing in such a short time, I have a review on here too you're a couple weeks ahead of me but I hope my course goes as smooth as yours. Thanks for sharing please continue! :)
Thank you! I just checked out your review. Your skin will clear up SO fast!!! I have very similar issues as you and I know once the purging phase is done it goes away rather quickly. I'm now almost 4 months in and I think I've been breakout free for about a month. Good luck on your journey! I'll continue to follow you!
thank you! glad to have found support here!
