Hi everyone
I've decided to start my own review, hoping to help others out there as others' reviews have inspired me.
I'm a 21 year old African girl, I'm a student and have been struggling with acne since high school. It's recurring acne and I'm just at the point where I wanna enjoy beautiful skin all the time. I have tried everything on the shelves, I've been using birth control since 10th grade, my doctor prescribed them to me and I can't say they did much for me do I ended up stopping in high school.
Had a lot of acne scarring, managed to get rid of it. Then of course acne decided to come back and now I'm just tired of it all so accutane is the last thing left for me to try.
*accutane journey*
I'm sooo nervous bout this, cause of some of the reviews I've seen. I've got mild acne so my derm prescribed 10mg of Oratane for four months, I took the first pill yesterday (28/06/2016). Two weeks ago my skin was clear, after all the exams I got so stressed and acne came back in full force, touching my skin felt so rocky lol. Anyway its been two weeks and I can count the pimples *yay* but my derm thinks I should still go on accutane so let's see how this goes.
Question:do we have to take the pill at the same time everyday or it doesn't really matter? I hear we supposed to take it with our fattiest meal
Guys I'll be trying to update you all on my journey, I'm gonna be positive and do what I have to do.
Let's kill this acne!
xoxo

DAY 3- DRRRRRYYYYYY LIPS
zaedaJune 30, 2016
Hi errbody!
No breakout yet, lol I actually need that flare now cause I'll be going back to school in a week's time, it's the end of Winter break :'(
I woke up this morning with suuuper dry lips :'( I have NEVER seen my lips this dry guys! It's so sad, vaseline obviously isn't working for me.
Opening my eyes was a lot harder, lol not that I didn't wanna get out of bed but cause they were dry :/ I was not expecting this so soon and with such a low dosage :v
Nothing on my nose yet, thank heavens! It's still the way it was before accutane.
QUESTION:
Which balms do you guys use? Hopefully I'll be able to get it here in South Africa.
What do you guys use for your eyes?
Thanks in advance guys.

I'm currently taking 40mg of accutane. My dermatologist wrote me a prescription for fluocinolone acetonide ointment it works wonders. I only have to put it on my lips once every hour. I hope this helps and you can also try carmex.

Hey again
Still on day 3, so I made sure my lips get really wet for a long time when I was taking my bath. Even put my wet face cloth on my lips for some time. Those little lose pieces of dry skin on my lips got really soft, and easily got off when I washed my lips with the cloth.
My lips are now soft and very smooth. I applied my vitamin E oil and it feels really good. I'm so happy, lol it was really irritating me!

I'm really happy for you, maybe you'll be seeing improvements only from now on. I've decided to take mine in the evening cause my breakfast consists of just a fruit sometimes. What do you apply on your lips?
