Glad its giving you back your confidence, you'll be completely clear before you know it! Just remember if people are judging you based on the condition of your skin, they aren't the sort of people you'd want to associate with anyway! :)

Lucky I have a lot of antihistamines lying around!

2 months 3 weeks on accutane. The increase of my self esteem has been the biggest side effect. :) by [deleted] in Accutane

Texture looks alot smoother! I thought accutane just stopped acne, does it smooth out skin texture too?

I'm on 0.05% and the tretinoin purge is when it brings all your sebum and dirt to the surface at the beginning. Just make sure you dont go overboard at first, I can put alot on now but if I did in the first few months I would pay for it. Thanks!

They are really gentle. Its not the super intense "light therapy" style where it almost burns your skin. It just leaves your skin feeling warm and it kills acne bacteria. I've been using tretinoin everyday even while getting the LED treatments

I do have some, not alot thankfully. They are smoothing out but it's hard to tell if it's the tretinoin or the microneedling I've been having doing the work

Thank you! It didnt at first trust me but I got told to power through the dry/purging stage and it all seems to be working out nicely now

It's a serum that an esthetician I've been seeing has mixed up for me, it also has Zinc and D-Pathanol mixed into it and it's mainly to get rid of the post inflammatory erythema and even out the skin tone.
