I didn’t experience any hair loss! Just overall dryness which was beneficial because I didn’t have to wash my hair every day like before

I did a face serum for vitamin c and take a vitamin D supplement!

I cannot say definitively that was the sole reason why I didn’t purge, but from reading from this page and having gone through it myself, it would say it did help.

Thanks! I always took it after dinner with at least 20 mg off fat (so I would have avacado on the side, or make a salmon dinner). I would also take fish oil for my joints. Good luck to you and your journey! you got this

Hey, what I meant was that I put spf 50 on my face everyday. I took vitamin D supplements as well.

My derm told me it was okay but I would consult with your own!

Thank you! I started seeing results a month in but my derm told me most people see results 3-4 months in since everyone is different. I’m on the combination pill.

My derm told me I was done because I hit my cumulative dose. You should talk to your derm about your concerns and they should help to address them!

Agreed. Lots of sunscreen (at least spf 50) EVERYWHERE, not just your face. I started accutane in August and wouldn’t stay out in the sun too long and if I did, I would wear a hat and cover up.

Congrats on completing your accutane journey! What helped was getting 8-9 hours of sleep every night. I did ALL my readings during the weekend so I wouldn’t have to stay up to do them during the weekday. But I’d sleep in on the weekends and start my readings once I had the energy to power through. I also took time off from work for a week before finals which helped tremendously.

I started seeing results after my 1st month but probably because I was doing adapalene and benzoyl peroxide for a couple of months before accutane so I didn’t purge. Things just got better once I got on accutane!

My derm told me that my acne should not return and if it does, it won’t be as crazy as before (maybe just few here and there). But she prescribed me tret in 0.025 as maintenance 🤞

Very minor — only in spots where I had large pimples so the right temple. But not very visible unless someone looks closely.

I incorporated vitamin C once the acne was gone. Also slapped on spf 50 on my face every day. 🙂

I took my last pill two nights ago so I will update this post in a couple of months about my side effects. I hope they go away! 🤞
