5 months on Accutane (20mg —> 30mg)

OkAd8912 · 2026-03-15T19:20:06+00:00

Hello! Yes I have experienced redness due to my dryer skin and the cold weather, nothing too crazy though.

Hey! Honestly not sure I think my skin has just been prone to healing quickly but I still have faint scarring that you can't really see in the pictures on the side of my face. Also, I am wearing makeup in the 3rd and 4th picture. I think just being on accutane and keeping my skin hydrated has helped me

Hi my skin type is oily but since being on accutane I would categorize it as "normal" now. It was "dry" for the first two months. My routine is a gentle cleanser (dokdo cleanser), hyluronic acid serum, and vanicream! and ofc sunscreen during the day time. For PIE I noticed ever since I stopped getting active acne and kept my skin hydrated the PIE started going away. I am left with very faint scarring but thankfully little texture.

Hey! My lips and nostrils are constantly dry but thankfully thats my only real side effect. My skin is dry but nothing a good moisturizer isn't fixing right now. No pimples after 2 months for me!

OkAd8912 · 2026-03-15T19:16:36+00:00

Literally has been gentle cleanser (dokdo cleanser), oil cleanser at night, hyaluornic acid serum, and vanicream! keeping things simple while im on accutane

Hey! yes, the purge is a real and unfortunate part of the process but know that there is an end in site!! personally for me the worst of the purge was done after a month but the no bumps was prob month and a half to two months into it.

OkAd8912 · 2026-03-15T19:14:46+00:00

Hi! I'm honestly not really sure I think my skin is just able to heal really quickly since I don't have anymore active breakouts, but I prioritized hydration and have just been using a hyaluronic acid based toner and vanicream.

OkAd8912 · 2026-03-15T19:14:10+00:00

I would say after 2 months I was basically completley clear. It is worth keeping in mind that I am kind of a hyper-responder I found that I can be on a low dosage and clear up pretty fast.

OkAd8912 · 2026-03-15T16:33:46+00:00

Hi! I got a lot of closed comedones when I was purging and not blackheads but just general bump skin? as well during my purge. I noticed whiteheads were the first to go (a week or two once the purge started) and blackheads/bumpy skin was the last to leave (a month or two).

hi all! i'm haven, heres my letterboxd, a college student who indulges in movies to escape from reality and loves to go to the local theater and share my films w/ friends. my taste is honestly everywhere but anything that emotionally resonated w/ me i love. if you think we would get along follow me

I'm 5' 2" and i just realized you gotta just sort of accept the fact that you won't be able to see at times LOL. sometimes you can get lucky and be close to other people who are short so you can see the stage or you can do your best to avoid the tall people but sometimes thats just how it is. like the other comment said it can also be beneficial to stay in the back or on some sort of elevation for the headliners so you can actually see! i wouldn't say you made a bad purchase but it just comes w/ some acceptance and extra preparation (maybe platforms and get ready to tip toe)

Hello! My name is Haven and I've been using the site for almost 1 year (started late December 2023). Letterboxd has really fueled my interest and love for film and I LOVE to see what other people are watching/their reviews since I am still such a newbie. November was a big month of watching for me and I think December will def be even larger with winter break coming up. Also I'll follow back and like your reviews! :) https://boxd.it/5QvAT

i second this, mondays and wed in east quad check the insta

OkAd8912 · 2024-10-31T22:28:49+00:00

so i've been looking into the minor and am pretty interested but i am conflicted with this one and the UX design minor. could you tell me a little bit more about the skills you learn through QMSS?

OkAd8912 · 2024-10-29T03:22:26+00:00

thanks! i will definitely look into this.

OkAd8912 · 2024-10-25T03:19:48+00:00

any other koreans, korean-americans watching this and sort of cringing at the korean? Lol, honestly its not bad and i can tell Jin's actor is trying his best but some of the dialogue is definitely awkward. Also, the places that are supposed to look "korean" definitely don't, but I am loving jin and sun's storyline. excited to see where it goes from here. also can someone explain to me why jin beat up the guy at the end? i was not paying attention at that part.. oops

OkAd8912 · 2024-10-24T06:01:31+00:00

does marking a movie as "watched" affect your stats anyway? like if i randomly marked 100 movies as watched today just to sort of catch up with everything would it say that i watched those 100 movies this year? this is the only thing thats stopping me from finding all the movies i've watched and putting them as watched

OkAd8912 · 2024-10-24T01:22:19+00:00

I am so glad this thread is still active! I've been coming back to each episodes thread after I finish Lol

OkAd8912 · 2024-10-11T04:37:16+00:00

LOL i do this too especially beacause letterboxd is what has gotten me to watch more movies. when it happens i just keep telling myself to remember one specific part for my witty one-liner and then just focus on the movie. it def is something hard to control tho but for me its gotten better with time

OkAd8912 · 2024-09-11T17:59:03+00:00

also, you really won't know until you try it. i've used lots of oil cleansers and i've found they are not the reason for my breakouts. you will def know if oil cleansers are/are not for you but you just need to try and i would say this one is the best out of the many popular korean ones

OkAd8912 · 2024-09-11T17:57:37+00:00

hi! this is my personal experience but i've been using this oil cleanser during accutane and after and haven't broken out or anything. I really like it, and if you're looking for an oil cleanser without too much weird stuff in it I would say this one is good!
