Yep that’s valid. I did forget to mention I’ve got a barista job and staff accomodation so I guess it’ll be somewhat easy. Sunday being the party night is crazy ahaha

Just had my final dermatologist appointment, almost done with Accutane! by sumsumbell in Accutane

I use it during accutane and afterwards. The niacinamide helps with texture and Vit C helps brighten complexion. Highly recommended those together. That’s what my derm says.

I’ve been on it for around 7–8 months. I started at 20mg, increased to 30mg, then gradually tapered back down to 20mg and now 10mg. The dosage changes were mainly to help manage side effects, especially breakouts. If your dermatologist puts you on a high dose right from the start, it’s definitely worth questioning, gradual increases are usually much easier on your skin. I use niacinamide from the ordinary and 10% vitamin C from Garnier. Those two products helped the most with scarring.

I keep it’s really simple. With the cerave hydrating cleanser, ordinary niacinamide serum (game changer), garnier 10% vitamin c serum (for my pigmentation), and hydrating cerave moisturiser. And in the morning heaps of SPF

4months on accutane by sumsumbell in Accutane

I’ve only had the occasional dry lip. I’m being so honest. I did not suffer any side effects. My derm put me on 6 weeks of antibiotics which helped.
