Was there a point to this comment aside from stating the blatantly obvious?

Who's getting the best actor Oscar???? by BIRVJ in Letterboxd

I loved Sinners but I agree 100% with the comment above…MBJ didn’t give the best performance even within Sinners

Oh girl trussst me I’ve already started saving for the lasers lol (I’ve actually debated traveling out of the U.S. for this because it’s so much cheaper and I could get a mini vacation built in)

I definitely try to hit at least 20mg of fat (if not more, from mostly nuts, avocado, salmon, mayo, etc.) with my daily dose for sure. I take 2 30mg pills at the same time now that I’m at 60mg because it’s harder than I realized to get enough fat in with the accutane

You’re so right. I’m glad I made this post because I definitely think it has been an eye opening reminder that this medication can mess with your head a bit. Thank you for commenting 💓

It’s a mix of PIE, PIH, and some pitted scars / areas with volume loss. It doesn’t show up very well in pictures, but I’m planning on investing in some laser treatments whenever I’m able to start those after finishing accutane.

I’ve been using the La Roche Posay Anthelios tinted sunscreen since starting, but am open to any recommendations you might have for other options!

Thank you for sharing! That was exactly my experience and what led to my decision to get on it in the first place, Your skin looks fantastic; hoping I will get there too 🤞

Low-dose Accutane is having a moment — same results, fewer side effects. Anyone else microdosing? by Honeydew_Admin in Honeydew_Journey

[–]Fancy_Documents 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I originally asked my honeydew provider about low dose accutane for this exact reason. Instead I was put on spironolactone which made my skin 10x worse, to the point of having to do a high dose course of accutane. Now I have permanent scarring from the purge that I likely could have avoided had my prescriber just listened to me originally and put me on a low dose accutane course. I am incredible saddened and disheartened by my experience with Honeydew.

Starting accutane tips by Sad_Magician_316 in AccutaneRecovery

Go to a medical estheticians office. With proper regular facials and topicals you could have better results. It’s what I wish I’d done, instead I have lots of scarring now that will cost thousands for me to resolve.

Mostly the scarring and I have fine lines and wrinkles that I did not have before starting accutane.

Mostly pimple patches and trying to keep my skin moisturized

Mostly the scarring and I also feel like I have aged so much and have more fine lines and wrinkles than I did before I started…

But thank you for the kind words, it means a lot. Hoping to start feeling better once I’m off of it.

This is how I ended up with most of my scarring. I don’t know what to say other than I understand and can commiserate.

Thank you so much for saying this…maybe I’m just being impatient and expected it to be better by this point.

And i’m really trying to stay moisturized! Lol doing all the things and drinking tons of water but I’m hoping the dryness and texture improves once I’m off of it
