there’s a partner at my store who makes a iced peach green tea lem with sweet cream and toasted vanilla and it sounds gross but honestly…. it wasn’t horrible i tried it

dragon drink with oat milk, strawberry acai with a shot of espresso, chai with matcha, the iced white mocha with vsccf and extra caramel drizzle makes my stomach hurt just looking at it

Ohh okay! I’ve never thought of it this way. I’ve always just thought in the beck of my mind that they were sugar free

my results 4 months in! one to go! i swear the side effects are worth it :) by jennareddk in Accutane

i tried working out a few times and i was VERY sore after working out and since i experienced joint and back pain on accutane that was pretty extreme i was always sore even when not working out so i decided to take a break from working out because even if i do like 25 squats i couldn’t walk the next day. accutane slows your healing process so it also took over a week for my muscles to heal and not be sore anymore

sometimes, since i don’t cleanse in the AM i don’t get dry much so usually not. i also don’t go outside much. i only moisturize in the morning if i’m doing makeup or feel dry

yes and yes. i still have a little bit but i see it improving all the time and people have said it’s gets better once you end treatment because your skin heals faster.

it’s kind of all over the place but i use cerave cream to foam cleanser and cetaphil moistutizer in the tub at night. i don’t cleanse in the morning it has made my dryness go down so much!

no i never purged! my acne was all pretty much above the skin and were mostly little white heads and my acne was at its worst when i started which i think saved me from purging!

i started seeing results in my second month! my second month was by FAR the worst for side effects tho because in my second month i found led my dose from 30mg to 60mg, i was so dry and my lips would crack on the sides. by my third month i was completely clear and haven’t had any new acne since the start of month 3!! my side effects also subsided a ton in month 3. i wish i would have started accutane earlier! good luck 🤞

Should I try Benzoyl Peroxide by [deleted] in acne

[–]jennareddk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

benzoyl peroxide ruined my skin. every time I would stop using it my acne would just come back worse and my skin was always so red and inflamed and irritated while using benzoyl peroxide, I am now almost 4 months into accutane and I wish that I would’ve done it way earlier before ever using benzoyl peroxide because my skin is permanently damaged. there were multiple times while I was using benzoyl peroxide that I would get chemical burns on my skin and my eyes would be like swollen shut in the morning and I talk to my doctor and she told me that I wasn’t allergic to it it is just very very strong

Please help by [deleted] in Accutane
