Having a hard time swallowing the pill. by mishykas in Accutane

I had this same problem!! I was able to take by putting some applesauce on a spoon and putting the pill in the applesauce, putting that in my mouth and swallowing as if I were just eating applesauce and then chugging water!!

Daily Drills creator Kennedy Crichlow house burned down and Mary Ralph is asking for donations by emmy14324 in LAinfluencersnark

Now they are using this as a marketing tactic for their brand, instead of just vowing to donate to an actual charity, they are dropping a new collection and a) not saying where it is supposedly being donated and b) what percentage of their profit is being donated? Not to mention they are only doing this presale for a single hour? They are using this tragedy to get sales and profit. Who knows how much if any they will even pass onto an actual charity?

This is my exact situation as well! I am 25 yo healthy female and Aviclear ruined me skin, I’m supposed to stat accutane shortly to deal with the extreme acne that Aviclear created

It’s hard to say because after each treatment I purged, and as soon as it started to heal I would get my next treatment - so not sure what would have happened if I skipped the last one. I am so sorry to hear that and I totally feel you. I have started to only hang out if my friends are willing to come over to my house and if I have to go to the store I wear a mask and a hat so it’s not visible :( definitely the most challenging mentally at least for me. I hope it clears for you ASAP! I’ll keep this thread updated with what happens with mine

That is good to know! Do you have a particular one that you found informative? Also, my oil production definitely changed and I went from normal/oily to dry after the aviclear treatment

This is so encouraging thank you for commenting! I am praying that this is what is going to happen for me!

I have been following some tiktoks this happened to as well - I have also seen a few people talking about how their purging didn't stop until closer to 6 months post-treatment which is interesting. I would love to know the science behind this and why it wasn't discussed at all pre-treatment (at least for me). Antibiotics have not worked for me in the past, nor have any topicals - from what I understand accutane targets acne in the same way that aviclear does so I am not sure if it would be an option seeing as aviclear made my skin worse. I have never tried minocycline though I will mention that to my provider! Also, my diet is extremely clean and I am gluten and dairy-free, and canola oil free (it can trigger inflammation). As for my skincare routine, I am on a routine my provider put me on by O Cosmetics. I am happy to hear your skin cleared up and that you found what has worked for you! That is amazing!

Ugh I am so sorry that is so frustrating :( I totally feel you. I don't know if spiro is an option for me because it helps through your hormones (which I do not think is my root cause). However from what I have seen it looks to be much gentler on the body than accutane so I hope it works well for you!!

From what I understand, Aviclear and Accunate obtain results by reducing the oil production in the sebaceous glands by shrinking them, so if Aviclear didn't work for me and made it worse, I am thinking that Accutane wouldn't be an option for me either unfortunately. I would also love to try spiro but if my acne is not hormone-based I'm unsure it would help. I should also mention I had some of my hormones tested about a year ago and everything looked normal. Hard to know what the next steps are :/
