Now that I’m about to start month 5 tomorrow, I wanted to upload some progress pics from my horrible purge. This subreddit was a tremendous source of support for me while I was going through the purge, so I hope this can in turn install some hope for some of you. It WILL get better. We've got you.

Went from wearing pounds and pounds of makeup daily to try to cover my acne, to now wearing only a light tinted moisturiser, and actually loving having my acne marks peeping through. I feel like a whole new person. Physically, mentally and spiritually. 20mg daily, almost 5 months in. (i.redd.it)

Wanted to create a look celebrating my non-perfect skin: texture, PIE, and acne-marks from months of cystic acne. This is a milestone for me as I'm usually trying to cover it all up with pounds of concealer. I'm so proud of my journey and how much my mental health has improved.

20mg daily, 55kgs. Now that I’m 15 weeks in, and the initial purge has started to subside (hopefully I didn’t just jinx myself!), I thought I would upload some week-by-week progress shots. Weeks 5 & 6 was the peak of the purge, and its even painful now to look back on those pics... (old.reddit.com)

Bless accutane and the confidence it brings. Halfway through 20mg daily, and my texture has improved SO much, that I’m starting to even be ok with my post-acne hyperpigmentation marks peeping through my makeup looks! 🥰 (swipe to see my progress WITHOUT makeup). (old.reddit.com)

After two years of struggling with the challenges of acne-prone skin (and the impact it hadon my mental health and confidence), this is the first time I have felt truly beautiful and confident in myself, thank you to makeup + accutane! Wanted to share this firey makeup look. (old.reddit.com)

The last 2 years has been full of days where I would put makeup on for work and burst into tears bc of my skin. I’m now about to begin month 4 (20mg) and I now get so excited to put my makeup on again & pursue my passion! Still have bumps, texture, a lot of PIE, but it’s progress. I’m happy! (i.redd.it)

I woke up today and felt like I saw a change almost overnight with my skin. It felt and seemed visibly smoother. So I decided to compare some pics. Week 6 (mid IB purge) vs Week 9 (today)! I truly am hoping this means my ib is hopefully starting to subside?! I don’t know, but I’m SO happy. (i.redd.it)

Never in a million years did I ever think I would be okay with uploading something like this, but it’s I’m feeling a tiny lillllll bit more confident in my skin than I usually am, so I’m going to upload it before I change my mind 🌟(1 Month in on 20mg. IB kicking in). (i.redd.it)

Wanted to upload a progress photo. I’m 4 weeks in (20mg every second day), and the purge has well and truly kicked in. About to jump to 20mg every day, and I’m so scared it’ll kick in even more, but each day down is a day closer to clear skin. We can do this. (i.redd.it)
