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.

Back on track!!!
I finished my Claravis! Partyyy! I'm 2 months off it & My skin is amazing now! I'm so happy I did it and waited it out. ( I don't have anything but mascara and lipstick on in these new pics!! How cool )
Now I have my new pre-op appointment set for Nov 7th so we can go over everything again and set a surgery date :) Again, I can't wait! My new skin has made me feel like a million bucks and the new nose will have me feeling like a bazillion!!! I am adding current pics of me and of the angles I hate :(
Here we go!!! Soon soon soon!
Oh and I just got my hair cut yesterday! Today's a good one!

Hey guys! So here we are, almost a full year has...
Hey guys!
So here we are, almost a full year has passed since I started my story... and I'M STILL ON ACCUTANE (Claravis) !
I was supposed to have only been on it for 8 months which would have been June 2012 to around January of this year, 2013.
My extremely old, conservative (annoying) derm has extended it every month since then citing that I wasn't as far along in results as I should have been and upped my dosage. *Sigh*
I started out taking 40mg a day for the first 8 months and I've been taking 60mg a day now for the last 3 months, so by the time I'm through I will have been on Claravis a year. *Exasperated sigh*
HOPEFULLY, this time I will FOR REAL only have 20 days left including today and be able to be finished by early June.
With all that said, the Claravis has worked wonders and has dramatically changed my skin for the better. I posted a before and after even though I know this is a Rhino review and I'm not off the drug yet. :)
I don't get acne anymore, my scars have almost completely faded and my skin is finally looking clean and clear! I prefer not to wear makeup to work, which would have never been the case before, I just wake up, put on lotion and go! The side effects have been irritating (mild depressive moods, nose bleeds, dryness, cracked lips *i have carmex on me at all times and apply all day* , being limited from sunlight/alcohol, mild bloating) but the results have been so worth it and I hope to be in the 80% of people who only get better and better after they are done taking the meds.
Now, if I am finally done in June that means I still have to wait AT LEAST 6mo until I can FINALLY go ahead with my septo-rhinoplasty... so that puts me into the beginning of 2014. All I can say is, I CAN'T WAIT.
Well, acutally I can wait because I have no other choice but to and I will ~haha~
but it's so hard to be patient for something you have already waited years for!
Anyways, I added the Claravis pic and 2 more pics of my soon but not soon enough to be 'old nose' ;)
Hope everyone is well and best believe I have been creeping on all of your before and after pics!!!
