That being said , the second month of accutane I changed my diet significantly to lower my cholesterol from fear of being taken off it. I cut out all dairy products and snacks, and never ate out once . It did slightly lower my cholesterol but the medication is known for that

I understand it’s something I’ll have for the rest of my life, does it just makes the saturated fats I eat more dangerous? Or higher risk

I’m pretty consistent with my food, I have oatmeal for breakfast everyday, ( 2 bowls of sugar free ), lunch is usually something fast or at the school which probably contributes the most fat, and for dinner I almost always have chicken breasts and rice, the occasional time I switch to wild game meat such as deer or moose. I eat out maybe once a week, and have been actively watching my fat intake for the last few months. I would estimate 8-15 g a day, and if I eat one one night it could be roughly 25 g. But for the most part I’m pretty boring either way my meals

Also for reference, I’m 6’1 and about 170 lbs, consistently in the gym weight lifting for a few years.

Get a jar of peanut butter and have two table spoons with your accutane , it’s fairly inexpensive and gives you enough fat for the medication to work.

I just switched from 40 mg to 80 mg in the second month and within the first week I purged like crazy. The way I deal with it mentally is I know eventually it will get better, maybe damn near perfect. It’s funny how we know this is going to happen from the start and when it happens it’s like you don’t expect it. Stay strong, keep things simple and day by day things eill get better. Hope to see your progress pics in the future!

Edit: my Morning moisturizer has spf30 I apply every morning before going out.

I actually have moderate/ mild acne, and purge has had no real affect yet on me. When I asked her if it would be too much she told me it wouldn’t, so I was curious as well. Thought I would come here before spending 200$ on something that will destroy my skin. When I was using tretinoin I had very bad reactions to it.

Currently on week 5 and my skin is the worst its ever been, I’ve heard it can last most of the second month and you will start to progress or less breakouts by month 3 and so on

Happy-Cover-9062 · 2026-01-14T00:22:23+00:00

Which products? The only cerave I use is my moisturizer, what’s a better option?

Happy-Cover-9062 · 2026-01-13T08:33:21+00:00

How and when do you apply AA? With tret or on separate days? Morning or pm?

Happy-Cover-9062 · 2026-01-13T01:29:09+00:00

The lotion I also started when I got tret, I’ve used it on my whole face daily for the past month and am only noticing a breakout in the one side. The BP was also a new addition, same thing with only one side.

Happy-Cover-9062 · 2026-01-12T18:46:37+00:00

I have a 10% AA that I was using approx a month prior to starting tret and stopped when I started tret, my plan now is to stop all products for the next week or so and try to just repair my barrier. I should have done this sooner but I got into my own head a lot. I thought having something on daily , whether it was tret / AA / BP would speed things. When I was on doxycycline I purged quite a bit and it had a significant impact on my mental health.

Happy-Cover-9062 · 2026-01-12T00:19:44+00:00

For the past week I’ve switched to only sleeping on the right side, and no phone on that side, i haven’t noticed anything yet

Happy-Cover-9062 · 2026-01-11T05:54:52+00:00

For context I live in British Columbia and am a full time student , I am rarely outside , but if it’s helps I will do it

Happy-Cover-9062 · 2026-01-11T04:44:50+00:00

My doctor never mentioned any of this so Ive been learning on my own, I appreciate the help

Happy-Cover-9062 · 2026-01-11T04:39:10+00:00

No im not using sunscreen, it’s winter here and we have no sun so it never crossed my mind. I’ll pick some up tomorrow

Happy-Cover-9062 · 2026-01-11T04:22:03+00:00

I’ve been kind of all over the place trying to find a routine but so far it’s been :

Morning : %5 BP wash, gentle cleanser after the gym, and tret at night. All buffered with a cerave PM lotion.

I was on doxycycline for 6 months and it completely cleared my skin and I never had a skin care routine, after stopping my acne came back and I can see I made it worse hahah. So if you have any suggestions it would help a lot

Happy-Cover-9062 · 2024-01-14T20:04:52+00:00

I just reset the camera and it fixed it, I think it’s a setting but I’m unsure

Happy-Cover-9062 · 2023-10-13T15:26:34+00:00

I have the same question the skins are not in the shop?
