ACCUTANE JOURNEY-DARK SKIN Week One - Great Britain

UPDATED FROM eade
6 months post

5 DAYS LEFT??!!!!

$8
Hey guys, so i did not keep my "promise" in updating routinely. I got too lazy tbh lol but yes i am finally nearing the end of my accutane journey and it has been a wonderful experience. My skin is now 98% clear and the 2% is just my scaring actually. I saw my doctor two weeks ago and he did pre-final checkup (i have to go back in 4 months before he can officially discharge me) and i have not been prescribed another monthly medication. To people that are just starting the journey or are in the breakout stage trust me STICK TO IT! It gets soo much better. I am in love with my skin right now even though it's not perfect and sometimes i start to worry when i look at my pre-accutane pictures i am shocked myself at the change, It has increased my confidence levels 100%. I dont have to hide away from making eye contact if i'm not wearing makeup now. My friends and family love the change and they can see how good i feel inside aswell. If you have any questions please ask and i'll try to help/advise as much as i can. I will hopefully be doing an update video for the next four months or so about how my skin has gotten after officially finishing. I have 15 single tablets left and i am still on 60mg a day. From my last appointment (2 wks ago) I think i have used another two weeks worth of treatment because when i started accutane i would forget on some days so i am just catching up on the total dosage i was given. The major side effect that i still have now is the dry lips, its making me want to just stop now and forget the next five days but i think i would start to reduce the 15 tablets i have left to 40mg-20mg till it runs out this should be in a week and a half i think. I have been taken some pictures throughout the times i was not updating but I just gonna post the current ones now and i will do a before and after later on most likely (If anyone wants to see the other ones let me know )
Goodluck guys!!! :)

oh wow! Your skin is looking amazing! Good on you for persisting!!!

Congratulation on a successful treatment! Your skin looks beautiful. How are you doing now?

Thank you ! I am doing great now, my skin is the best it has ever been , it was all worth the wait and all the blood tests etc . Thanks for your encouragements
Your skin looks absolutely amazing!! Congrats on clear skin, I m a few months into accuttane and I hope to get to where you are soon xx
Just another question..,has the dry lips an d skin eased up since you finished?
Thank you! Stick with it!! your skin will be amazing, can't wait to see the results and yes the dry lips literally stopped suddenly after a week or under.
Wow , you look gorgeous, your skin is so beautiful!! Did you experience darkening of the skin? And what was your regime while on accutane as far as face wash and moisturizer? And do you feel like it helps with the hyperpigmentation and scars? Thank you
Thank you :) and no i didn't experience any darkening, actually my skin got lighter as my scar faded and yes it helped a lot with my scars a lot! the hyperpigmentation is still there but it had reduced more than before .
my regime was using st ives blemish clearing scrub and body shop face wash. i used a mix of natural shea butter and coconut oil to moisturise my face as it was really dry duting the period. I still use the mixture now but i am slightly reducing the amount i put on my face because my skin is not as dry as before
i'll post an update pictures today/tomorrow
Thanks for your reply :) I'm so happy for you!! You look so great! Did you also use sunscreen? Since Accutane makes you sun sensitive?
hey no i didn't use sun screen.. didn't look into it but you might have to try it out
