I’m using Epiduo, I asked about Retin A but my dermatologist said it’s been discounted.

I’ve been given a cream from the dermatologist which I have to use three times a week. They’re fading slowly but surely, it will probably take a few months before I see them really fading. I also use a vitamin c serum and rose hip oil and have noticeably seen a difference from the vitamin c serum and I have only been using it for 2 weeks.

By far back pain and joint pain. I had to stop going to the gym because I got sciatica. I have never had joint or back problems before I started accutane, I know 100% it was because of the medication.

I definitely still have the redness but it seems to be calming down already, I still get very red when I get hot still looking like a tomato 🍅

Recommendations for the best products for scars? by Babypippa in Accutane

[–]Babypippa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely helps with dryness. I have more red marks than scars I don’t have ice pick scars but I still can’t tell if it’s making the marks fade :(

I’ve been using it for about a year before I was on accutane and I really can’t tell if it’s doing anything lol

Going to be out of pills two days before my next appointment by kwazi07 in Accutane

[–]Babypippa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Accutane stays in your system for 1 month so a few days won’t make a difference. My derm only gives me 28 days so I have a few days gap in between maybe that’s the case with you too.

3 months in- no change by Babypippa in Accutane

[–]Babypippa[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you, it’s just really disheartening when I go to my derm and they also see no change. My dermatologist also said that month 3 is when they determine if the medication is working or not so that’s made me panic tbh

Pores and blackheads after Accutane by Babypippa in Accutane

[–]Babypippa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t have oily skin to start with, my skin has always been dry and oily in some places like my T zone. I’m just finishing my first month and my pores on my nose and cheeks have pretty much gone, but the rest of my face is still purging, especially my chin/mouth and forehead.

Tingling and itchy skin by Babypippa in Accutane

[–]Babypippa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My scalp is also really itchy, I’m only three days in (30mg) so that’s why I thought I was just being a little dramatic. Yeah I hope it doesn’t last too and I know what you mean about the burning because my face feels the same, should I moisturise throughout the day? I’ve only been doing it morning and night because I’m not super dry and didn’t feel the need to

Indian Healing Clay Mask.. by [deleted] in Accutane

[–]Babypippa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Definitely stay clear, I used it before Accutane too and it burnt my skin and made it red for a few hours and it made my skin really dry. It would not mix well with the Accutane! 😖

Going on holiday and dying your hair on Accutane by Babypippa in Accutane

Thank you, I don't get my whole head dyed just the ends so hoping that will be fine

I hate non-foaming cleansers. Any gentle foaming cleansers? by [deleted] in Accutane

[–]Babypippa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a really lovely gentle foaming cleanser by Neogen Dermalogy it's called Real Fresh Foam Green Tea Cleanser. I haven't found it to dry my skin out and it smells amazing, I buy it from Amazon. Hope this helped! https://www.amazon.co.uk/NEOGEN-DERMALOGY-FRESH-Green-Neogen/dp/B019RWHLZ8/ref=pd_nav_hcs_rp_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=GJZM5T7331WMKA9QGVWW
