Hi every one.
I will be going on accutane in just a few days.I am quite excited in hope of being acne free in 6 months.
(if all goes well knock on wood)
From what I heard the side effects are petty bad
For those who took or who are on accutane what products did you use : to wash your face, moisturize it,make up,foindation , ect.??
How long till the first result?
Did it come back and why?
The wurst thing while on?
I hope you guys can help me .for once I want to be acne free, and not hide behind a layer of make up .I hope you guys can help.

I developed serious tendencies to self harm because of accutane
I have no previous history of mental illness and am now happy and healthy since getting off accutane

I'm not trying to scare you... I just want you to be informed
My doctor did not go over all of the risks before putting me on accutane

hey im using it now and my dermatologist said to keep your routine as simple as possible.all products must be highly moisturising and Oil-Free! thats really important. no exfoliants/abbrasives.no waxing etc. im using simple oil free cleanser and dermol lotion. invest in lipbalms! vaseline for your nose etc. clinique makeup and skincare is great as its all fragrance free and allergy tested.all products should be for sensitive skin and non comedongenic and non acnegenic and remrmber oil free! think less is more! good luck :)

Please please inform yourself on it. My sister had to go take monthly pregnancy tests because if you get pregnant on it, it can seriously harm your baby causing different metal and physical problems

I would recommend trying the Clarisonic. I say this to anyone, but it's worth a try before filling your body with harmful medications! Just worried for your health, that's all! It's terrible for your liver as well
