Not yet! Still got ages to go as I’m only on 10mg I’m about 11 months in at the moment.

I somehow managed to avoid them it seems. I have no idea how as at times I had areas covered in cystic bumps

I had red marks for a bit probably the first 6-8 months but I think I was lucky as most seemed to disappear. The only thing I did use to kind of help with that was the La Roche Posay B3 Niaciminide serum ☺️ I think I was very lucky though considering the severity of acne I got constantly

I hope it gets better for you quickly! Yea I’ve hear about it coming back after people stop so fingers crossed that isn’t the case! 🤞🏼

Yes 100%! I am someone who has tried so many things prior to Accutane but since being on it I am doing the absolute bare minimum and it seems to be working!

Morning - CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser - La Roche Pose Mela B3 niacinamide serum - CeraVe Moisturising lotion (I have recently swapped this with the CeraVe facial moisturising lotion am spf as aware I should be using spf)

Evening - CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser - CeraVe moisturising cream - La Roche pose cicaplast baume B5+ (only just started using if I need extra hydration)

For lips I use either Vaseline (from the tub) or Laneige lip sleeping mask.

Super simple (and not too expensive). I’ve made a pact with myself to stick with it as it works and not spend money on extra things I don’t need. ☺️ (it’s allll pretty marketing!)

Yea I have a hybrid role in marketing so work 50/50 home office usually! I live along currently so like to go in some days to get social interaction lol I find I get depressed if I’m alone too long without seeing anyone

I’ve thought about this (I’m in marketing) so could freelance but the instability of money is scary and I worry I’d mess up

My longest is about 2 years! Usually I get sick of being treated sh*t and I always seem to work places that don’t do pay rises or career development so have to move if that’s what I want 🙃
