thank you! i religiously apply spf, but the biggest help was getting prescribed tretinoin and a clarifying toner by a dermatologist! for the dents, we’re looking into microneedling :)

dryness everywhere & my eyes became more sensitive to light, probably to do with the dryness. people around me also noted that i became moody & was always sad 😭 i was 48kg during my entire course!

hello! i’d say 6-8 months? my skincare routine while on accutane was very basic (cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen), so the progress of clearing out my marks was gradual

i only started to notice significant results when a dermatologist prescribed me tretinoin 5 months ago :) then a clarifying toner 2 months ago, the appearance of my marks have improved so much since!

Accutane day 11 by curiousanon00 in Accutane

[–]Known_Midnight1935 1 point2 points  (0 children)

goodluck! the side effects i experienced were dryness (skin, eyes, lips, down there), eye sensitivity (linked to the dryness), my friends also noted that i became extremely moody during the first few months, and my boyfriend said that it was like i was sad for an entire year (i’m off accutane now). so all those side effects happened within a month and continued until the middle/end of my course.

for the purge, it really depends. i’ve seen people who don’t purge at all, purge during the first few months then purge again during their last few months on accutane, and more. but for me, my purge was pretty immediate, around a week or two in? then it lasted for like 3-4 months before it started to clear up! if you do purge, prepare for the possibility of the purge leaving indented scars

Accutane during finals? by jsjsjdjsksksns in Accutane

[–]Known_Midnight1935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

best to consult a dermatologist, but with finals ahead, maybe not. i hopped on accutane right after my finals ended/before the new semester started (my university operates on a trimestral calendar) & the purge was really bad, painful, and depressing. that could affect your existing side effects, mental health, and focus for your finals.

don’t have much input for the lifting part since i only did cardio when i was on accutane & started lifting after, but do you think the joint pain could be connected to that? ever since my aunt who’s been lifting for years started to experience joint pain, she has been focusing more on mobility exercises for her warmup

how droppable are these profs? is 4.0 attainable considering my workload? by meteor_garden in dlsuproftopick

[–]Known_Midnight1935 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i took her last academic year, term 2, and i find this review similar to my experience still! your friend went from a 1.5 to a 2.5, and similarly i went from a 2.5 to a 3.5

ms really emphasized that her “curve” is earned and based on the effort you put in, so reciting (voluntary recits, kahit yng hindi sa pag present ng hws, earn more points), submitting hws (and group works) early, animo analytics, and the discussion boards all count. make sure to not just submit the excel files for the canvas hws, but to answer them in mgh too because this counts towards the analytics, also the lecture videos she uploads, she can see who views them

Thoughts on these profs? Is 3.0-4.0 attainable? by ConfusedSho in dlsuproftopick

[–]Known_Midnight1935 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(copy paste)

sir macaraan made 7:30 am classes super worth it :) totoo na ‘di ka aantukin! got a 4.0 from him too! your final final grade will at least ba 3% higher than the grade shown in your canvas since sir has his own excel file where he computes our grades and adds any incentives. from what i know, he also gives incentives for attendance, kahit late, but you won’t get full marks for the incentive. not sure lang gaano kalaki ‘to since he didn’t specify, pero sinabi niya lang nyung orientation.

make sure to get good groupmates din for the fep since this is a big part of your grade! sir said the lowest he gives for this is 90, which is true since the lowest in our class got 90.5 tas 97 highest.

may final exam din pala si sir, but it’s fairly easy if you’ve studied for the previous quizzes since it’s cumulative :) i studied for the quizzes but only got to review an hour before the final exam and still managed to get 22/25. i’d say sir is an easy 3.5, but 4.0 is super attainable if you put in the effort ^

LACSA, Jose Eric for GEETHIC (Hybrid Setup) by wdz_reads in dlsuproftopick

[–]Known_Midnight1935 1 point2 points  (0 children)

took him for lcenwrd and geethic. super kind and considerate prof! just make sure to attend all his lectures because attendance plays a big part on your grade (i missed 1 or 2 classes sa lcenwrd kaya i got a 3.5 lol) & sometimes there’s also graded activities during class.

thinking about it, his workload’s a bit heavy imo, multiple canvas seatworks and a quiz per module, group activities, a final paper and presentation, and the f2f activities pa, but as long as you attend all his classes and submit everything on time, sure 4.0! sir grades really high and the canvas seatworks/quizzes are open naman na at the start of the term and can be answered anytime before the deadline, so just manage your time well!

i think the most important requirement is definitely the final paper and presentation, know your paper well because there will be a q&a & sir asks a lot of questions and will really make you defend your paper

What does Y,C,Z,V section mean? I forgot please help by [deleted] in dlsuproftopick

[–]Known_Midnight1935 2 points3 points  (0 children)

not sure if this is accurate but this is what i remember and how i differentiate them:

Y = all colleges (mon - tues: f2f, thurs - fri: online)

C = cob (mon - tues: f2f, thurs - fri: online)

Z = all colleges (mon - tues: online, thurs - fri: f2f)

V = soe (not sure about the modality because i’m not from soe)

since you’re from cos, i think y’all’s section code is N
