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.

Day 32: Things are actually looking up. Scabs have begun to peel and fall off. I found out drinking lots of water helps with the dryness and probably even with the healing. I don't even need to put on as much lip balm/chapstick. It's marvelous.

I'm also eating more fruits and veggies and cutting back on sweets. Who knew all the benefits that come with healthy eating...inside and outside.

Today my teacher commented how "rapidly" my skin has been improving. I told him I just finished a month of Accutane. He simply nodded and smiled. I bet he hasn't really heard of Accutane since only doctors and patients do, but I'm glad people are noticing the results nonetheless. It's really helping with the anxiety and fear from worrying over whether or not accutane will work for me and if I'm on the right track.

Clear skin is mine eventually!

I'm glad, at least, that this happened before college and senior prom.

Day 22: Visited my doctor today. Luckily, all is well. He is increasing my dosage to 60mg as of today and putting me on a 125mg twice a day Amoxicillin. As for the leftover prescription from this month, I took two 40mg pills today, then will take one tomorrow, then 2 the day after, then 1 (etc) until it runs out (only like 8 pills left). With this alternating pattern, it will be the equivalent of two days of 60mg.

Status of my face...it seems to get worse on weekends? Dry pus on my face, my left cheek is now peeling like hell with the right side of my face. Nose, chin, and bottom portion of forehead super clear (yay!)...now if only the rest of my face will emulate their success...

Day 19: Huge yellowish and white scabs on problem areas. I'm so tempted to pick at them but I know I'll only get scars or it'll make the problem worse (and look worse!). The acne under my chin has basically cleared, which is good. Not using any cleansers or scrubs because I don't want the scabs to prematurely come off, so I'm just letting water run over them. (sorry!, I accidentally added this as a comment)

Add-on: Seeing my derm this Saturday for a checkup.
