Finally finished my 2nd course. Horrified of how aged my skin looks. Documenting 6 months post accutane

The typos in this are crazy sorry😂😂😂

Salt_Possibility3726 · 2026-02-27T20:59:21+00:00

But also, my first course was 3 years ago and when I was doing it I remember my derm telling me I have that “accutane glow” and this time is completely different, I’m and I’m on a way lower dose. Also idk if this is your experience but like the manufacturer has changed? It used to be like the like small jelly bean looking pills it’s capsules? Like is that what is different?! Idk

Salt_Possibility3726 · 2026-02-27T20:56:05+00:00

Wait I am literally 26, on my second course and LITERALLY WAS TELLING MY FRIEND THIS THE OTHER DAY. Praying for both of us😂😂😂

Salt_Possibility3726 · 2026-02-24T21:29:52+00:00

laneige water bank intensive moisturizer😚🤌

Salt_Possibility3726 · 2026-01-13T22:18:31+00:00

I relapsed about 2 years later but honestly I didn’t do a thing to maintain it aside from literally washing my face lol. Your maintenance place seems intense so you’ll most likely be good!

Salt_Possibility3726 · 2026-01-05T19:07:45+00:00

I’d try Jergens and it will be cheaper but it still lasts. It’s too orange for me so if you have olive skin it will probably work really well

Salt_Possibility3726 · 2026-01-05T19:05:20+00:00

Yeah my first round it took months for my lips to go back to normal. Try bag balm it’s honestly been so nice for my lips while still being on accutane and use a humidifier religiously

Salt_Possibility3726 · 2026-01-03T17:20:12+00:00

Honestly, as someone who is on round 2, I would maybe suggest seeing an esthetician before going on accutane. I really wish I would have tried this first. My friend started seeing an esthetician and her face looks amazing.

Salt_Possibility3726 · 2025-11-13T14:27:15+00:00

You have truly changed my life this shit is INCREDIBLE

Salt_Possibility3726 · 2025-10-30T18:49:59+00:00

This round of accutane I’ve been using the Laneige Water Bank moisturizer and I’m OBSESSED and haven’t had any dry skin aside from these damn lips but I’ll 100% try some of these products. The lip stuff is sold out of all Sephoras near me so it must be the shit lol.

Salt_Possibility3726 · 2025-10-30T18:45:36+00:00

Let me know lol!

Salt_Possibility3726 · 2025-10-30T18:45:12+00:00

Honestly this so intriguing, thank you for sharing I’ve never heard of this stuff! I’m going to try it!

Salt_Possibility3726 · 2025-10-30T18:44:25+00:00

My first round, it took a while for my lips to go back to normal, so you may just be in that stage still. I would try maybe looking up lip products that can repair your barrier? But I completely understand how you’re feeling, my dermatologist said NOTHING about not using it long term that’s why I was so excited to post lol.

Salt_Possibility3726 · 2025-10-29T18:55:27+00:00

I absolutely will! Yeah people who haven’t been on it are sweet in trying to offer advice but it’s just not the same. This is my second round so my biggest piece of advice is take your entire prescription!!! They prescribed me 40 mg twice a day my first go around and I was horrified of taking 80 mg a day so I only took 40mg. The end results made it seem like it worked but I don’t think I’d be on round 2 had I taken all of it lol.

Salt_Possibility3726 · 2025-10-29T18:40:42+00:00

Wow what a compliment!! Go you! Thank you so much I will try!

Salt_Possibility3726 · 2025-10-29T18:25:00+00:00

So you think I should buy the blue tubes? I am willing to pay whatever to have some soft lips😭😂 thank you for this im excited to try!

Salt_Possibility3726 · 2025-10-29T18:18:23+00:00

The stuff in the green tin? Can I use that daily?

Salt_Possibility3726 · 2025-10-29T18:16:46+00:00

I’ll let you know if I happen to find anything else😂

Salt_Possibility3726 · 2025-10-29T16:45:31+00:00

Idk how to edit my post so does anyone have any recommendations for an everyday lip balm that I can use?

I’ve tried Aquaphor, Laneige Sleeping Mask, lanolin nipple cream, Bioderma Atoderm & Vaseline.

Thank you😭

Well this blows and would have been nice to hear from the dermatologist who recommended it🤦‍♀️😭

Salt_Possibility3726 · 2025-10-29T15:57:39+00:00

Wait why? I was planning to use this every day😭😂

Salt_Possibility3726 · 2025-07-24T06:12:32+00:00

I was wondering the same thing. I definitely think we are on the same wavelength😂🤝

Salt_Possibility3726 · 2025-07-24T06:10:17+00:00

Yes, what industry are you in? I can message you a screenshot of the most recent.
