My Accutane Journey ✨

I know I made a post about this, but here’s the final result!! 💖

After struggling with acne for 10 years, and trying countless remedies that never worked, I decided to take the leap and use Accutane to clear my skin, and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made for myself. I took Accutane for 7 months, 6 months is standard. I have never felt so confident in myself, and it’s such a great feeling! 🫶🏼 While the side effects surely sucked during the duration of usage, it was more than worth it.

If you’re struggling with severe acne, and have contemplated talking with your dermatologist about trying Accutane, DO IT!! So so so worth it !!!

... Read moreAccutane, a powerful medication for severe acne, has helped many regain their confidence and clear their skin. Patients typically undergo a 6 to 7-month course, reporting significant improvements. It's essential to discuss any potential side effects with your dermatologist, as they can vary across individuals. Common side effects include dryness and sensitivity, but these are often manageable. Keeping track of your skin's changes during treatment can be beneficial for both you and your doctor. Support groups and patient testimonials are great resources while undergoing this journey. Remember, finding the right treatment is a personal experience, and Accutane could be the right path for many struggling with cystic acne or persistent breakouts. Always consult healthcare professionals for tailored advice and to ensure a safe journey through the process.

My accutane Journey
Let me just preface by saying accutane is not for the weak, but it does work. It’s one of the scariest medications I’ve taken hands down with all of the warnings and possible side effects. I’ve had acne my entire life and usually the pill controlled it pretty well, until my insurance quit covering

A person takes a mirror selfie in a restroom, sticking out their tongue. Text overlays indicate this is a personal routine shared by someone undergoing a skin treatment and working in dermatology.
Two large pump bottles are shown, identified as a moisturizer and a cleanser. Text notes the moisturizer is sometimes combined with another hydrating product.
A tube of balm and a dropper bottle are displayed. Text explains the balm helps lock in moisture after moisturizing, and the dropper product is hydrating, used after toner.
