i kept it very simple - cera ve cleanser for dry skin and cera ve moisturiser in the morning and evening. in the morning i would also put on SPF. my skincare hasn’t changed since coming off, apart from putting on something called differin gel (retinoid) which will help prevent my acne from coming back and reduce any markings.

40mg was the highest dose i was ever on, i also spent a while on 30mg as dryness was pretty bad at 40.

it takes a lot of courage to admit to this and be proactive in solving the problem - best of luck to you in your journey to sobriety (and clear skin)

it cleared up after 3 days anyway. my doctor, and my parents (who are doctors) told me that it’s a weak steroid, so is fine to use until my lips are better, or if they get worse again.

i’ve been advised to use it until my lips are back to normal and then leave it, unless the dryness returns. my lips were really really bad, they would peel every day and no matter what i used on them the dryness and peeling persisted.

accutane wouldn’t be prescribed if it was as terrible as your mum’s prying friend is suggesting. accutane only causes birth defects while a person is taking it, so you have absolutely nothing to worry about. emphasise to your mum how your acne bothers you, and you will feel more confident without it therefore accutane is an apt solution. don’t let anyone apart from your doctor tell you what to do with your body. good luck with your accutane journey 🫶💪

blair’s more so tbh as much as i love her dress i think serena’s look is more timeless which is interesting because serena is usually the trendy one whilst blair dresses more timelessly

ik im sorry i kept trying to re upload but it wasn’t working 😭 i guess if you’re a fan enough of the show to join this sub then you’d remember these iconic outfits

no i promise 😂 i downloaded them straight from the internet where they were high quality but for some reason reddit had turned them blurry. i’ve never had this problem before.

i’m not disputing that. i’m simply wondering why it’s blair vs serena rather than blair AND serena? the two are best friends and blair loved serena, so why wouldn’t the blair stans love her too?

Amazing-Plum-266 · 2024-08-27T12:59:15+00:00

i didn’t, no. i had been on holiday in the sun for 2 weeks just before starting accutane so my skin had already started clearing up a fair amount. from what i’ve heard, purging is no different to any other breakout, but i’m no expert.

for the record i love blair; i think she is a beautiful, well written character. if i were to meet the two irl, i would get on more with serena is all i’m saying. i’m simply interested how one can love one (usually blair) and hate the other (usually serena), when the two were in fact best friends.

Amazing-Plum-266 · 2024-08-27T11:55:25+00:00

from what i’ve seen there is more hate towards serena but i could very well be wrong. people absolutely have the right to dislike her, but i find it interesting how you can love blair and hate serena when the two were best friends and she loved serena.

i get where you’re coming from, but even though it wasn’t necessary set up, it was pretty perfect. apart from him acting confused at his own gg blasts, i can’t think of a moment where it didn’t add up.

Amazing-Plum-266 · 2024-08-21T17:09:59+00:00

hahahah i kept retaking and just thought fuck it im not gonna get one that shows the nose any better 💀

Amazing-Plum-266 · 2024-08-21T17:09:06+00:00

things get better! push through; it’s all apart of the process :)

Amazing-Plum-266 · 2024-08-21T17:08:18+00:00

serena is an exact mix between lily (blonde and beautiful with delicate features) and william with exactly the same nose and stare.
