Week 3 of Accutane
So during week 3 my hands started to get really dry but land lotion solved that problem. My face is still very dry and I have to put lotion on every morning and after I wash my face. My lips get dry quicker than normal but I have chapstick and Aquaphor that help with that. I'm a baseball player who lifts 3 times a week and plays 2 games a week and I haven't had any problems.
Week 2 of accutane
Hey guys, so through my first two weeks of taking accutane my skin has improved already! It's not gone, but enough red spots on my skin disappeared to be noticeable. Week one my lips didn't really get that dry, but week two there were some side effects I experienced. Side effects during week two included a stiff and aching back and neck lasting for about 4 days, lips drying out, face drying out, and the back of my hands are starting to dry out. But it has all been manageable so far. So far so good.

Hey guys, I just got on accutane after 3 years of cystic, red dot acne on my chin, cheeks, and forehead. My acne isn't severe, but it's enough to make me lose confidence in my appearance. I tried everything (benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, oral medication, tazarotene, washing face regularly, etc.) but it never led to long term improvement. Only the benzoyl peroxide provided temporary improvement but never really got my face to where I wanted it to be: 100% clear from my acne. I have been taking accutane for 8 days now and I can see that my face is already improving. I have not experienced any major side effects yet. However, can feel my lips are starting to get dry, but I have Aquaphor to take care of that. I'll keep y'all posted on how it goes!
