I am only on my 3rd month of 40mg accutane and so far it is one of the best experiences i have gone through. I started with acne all over my face, nose, cheeks, chin you name it! It was mostly cystic. If you have any guestions I will be more then happy to answer them! My insurance covers most of it.

You skin looks amazing! With make up you'll never know you have acne. How long before you started seeing improvement?

I hope in the next two months I won't have to wear make up at all! I actually started seeing result right away, after the first month all my acne had shrank and all that was left was scars healing.

Week 14/ on accutane!
It's been 3 months and 2 weeks! Here are some updated photos from today. What I forgot to mention was "drug store witch hazel", it has been my best friend through this whole process. Everytme I go to sleep, I get a cotton ball and wipe a thin layer all over my face. When I wake up my face feels like a baby's butt! It's also kept the redness down and sped up the healing process. I'll be more then welcome to answer any guestions!

Do you put on any lotion after the witch hazel? I just started accutane and a lot of people recommend heavy moisturizing before bed.

I've never moisturized at night even before accutane because I kind of just wanted my face to breath and relax after the witch hazel. But it is strongly recommended to apply lotion at night, I just haven't gotten in the habit of doing so.

Cleanser for oily skin while you are on Accutane which causes dry skin?

I use cetaphil face wash! It's one of the lightest face washes you will use. I think because your face is already filled with all the chemicals from the medication and make up it's just like washing your face with water but better and it's cheap!

So far I am using Clearasil as I have not started yet. I am still scared of the initial breakout and wish to know the time for it to take vacation from work!

Anytime during the first 2 months is average! I used to run to the bathroom over 10 times to add more powder during an 8 hour shift. I now only go once and actually look people in the eye when speaking! You have to be hopeful, you need to allow your body to react to the medication for it to work! I promise you after 3 months you will not stop taking pictures of yourself. Haha

The dermatologist told me the first week will be safe and one of my friends who had been on Accutane for 3 times told me the first 2 weeks are always the best. I will start on 20 mg for one week then double the dose to 40 mg per day.
Recently I observed that whenever I consume Silk Soya Milk with added vitamin A (10% of daily recommended), my acne improves.
