2 months down, 2 more to go!
Hey Errbody!
I am halfway through my accutane journey, and I am so happy :)
Been so overwhelmed with school, I did not have time to post. Okay, so I don't have the whole 'dry lip' issue anymore, I drink tons of water and then whatever lip balm/gloss I use works fine. Like I said in my last post, I don't experience dry eyes, thank heavens. I still have a few pimples here and there, the scarring is depressing me :(
I wear a liquid foundation when I go out, clean up as soon as I get home. The acne is clearing out, I'm not getting those annoying tiny pimples anymore, I get two or three every other day but they're bigger :(
I've got two more months to go.
Xoxo

Day 30-there is still hope =D
Hey everyone!
I am finally finishing my first packet of Oratane! So since the last break out, my skin didn't get any worse, it was pretty much the same. Except now I'm getting these bigger pimples =( I hate them! It's hard to keep positive when you wake up with new pimples sometimes, but I know it's all a part of the journey and I can not wait to be free from acne.
My eyes are not getting dry anymore, they feel pretty normal to me. My lips, they still get dry, but they aren't as bad as in the first few days, don't know if it's the water, the vitamin E oil or what. I purchased Eucerine's Aquaphor, I'm yet to try it out.
My skin is generally dry, all over, I am using Nivea for dry skin, it's quite thick but works wonders.
What else.......?????
Ooh I spot treat my pimples with Calamine lotion at night, lol that's if I remember =)
Oh yeah guys my bacne is gone!!!! :D like gone! I don't have a single pimple on there and on my chest. When I started with accutane I had some on my back and I hated em cause I couldn't wear tanks, sorry I forgot to snap a picture for yall.
Okay so one month down, three to go.
Remember to stay positive guys and don't give up, ever! We deserve beautiful skin.
Let's kill this acne!!!

Day 7-Breakout!
Hi all, I'm on day 7, dry lips and eyes are not an issue no more. I'm drinking gallons and gallons of water hahaha.
I'm starting to break out a bit :( it shall pass, just hope it won't get much worse than it is right now.
Either than that there isn't much I can say about this. We'll see how it is in a few weeks' time..

To tell you the truth, I was scared to start with accutane myself. Yeah, I think it's okay, remember it makes your skin dry, so you need a good moisturiser and lip balm. oh and also keep hydrated!
I'm really not sure, my medical aid is paying for a certain portion. I only pay R140.
Good luck!
I will take note of what you have just mentioned , thank you very much .
..I am gonna need it Lol .
