Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

This is photos of my 1 month on 30mg on accutane :)
These picutes are of my 1 month on 30mg of accutane :)
Updates: My lips are insanely dry (especially when I'm in an air-conditioned work environment). My skin is absolutely not oily! It's bliss! Honestly, my makeup stays where it is and doesn't budge! I'm so happy about that. For the first two weeks I had a slight initial breakout, nothing major, just a few spots creeping out that quickly disappeared. BUT oh my gosh the blackheads in those two weeks that appeared were shocking! My nose, chin and inbtween the eyebrows felt like sandpaper because my blackheads were coming up? Just earlier last week did my skin shed in those areas and now its so smooth! Ive never had that feeling in many years!! Makeup was a HUGE problem! I couldn't find a foundation to stop making my skin look crusty! In the end I just ended up giving up haha BUT if you ladies are wanting to use lipstick I've found a solution haha I apply lip balm first, apply lipstick on top of that, rub my lips together and then apply a small amount of lip balm again :) it gives the lips a glow but also moisturizers them :) No side effects except dry skin and brittle hair :) then again, my mood has been a little on edge. Oh and for women who are worried about how accutane effects everyone women's best friend (monthly cycles) mine came on time and didn't cause anything unusual :)
My skin isn't near perfect (but hey no one has perfect skin :) ) I've got a strange like lump under the skin on my chin that doesn't hurt at all but just appears as a lump? It use to be a hurting cyst two months ago but now its a lump? I'm going to ask my dermatologist about this as I'm confused haha any questions please ask :)

Photos of the first week I took accutane :)
The photos attached are from a week taking 30mg of accutane :) my skin was still relatively oily. The oilness has completely gone now :)
Trying to put photos up
I've taken photos but my phone isn't allowing me to put them on here :L I will try on my computer later and see if that works.

Fantastic. Very calm, straightforward and understanding. All the clinic's staff were just great.
