I hope I'm allowed to do this... Haha.
But Jessica inpsired me to make an accutane log, and this is more for myself, just to be able to see what happens, but feel free to ask questions or post comments. Any product reccomendations or accutane stories are much appreciated!
So, I'm 15 and I have had acne for pretty much the past 4 years. It's had its good and bad times, but I'm just really sick of it. I have tried everything, over the counter BP, Proactive, 6+ prescription drugs, antibiotics, arbon, soooo mannnyyy thingggss!!!
My skin gets soo oily during the day, but it has been dry lately b/c of the medicine i was using before accutane. (That didn't really make sense, haha, but i'm not sure how to word it.) My acne isn't like horrendous, it just wont go away!!!
So my dermatologist finally put me on 40mg. (I weigh about 135) a day of Accutane (Claravis) Yayy!!!
I'm on Day 4 today (of a hopefully 5 month course)
There isn't really anything that's changed yet... My lips are slightly more dry today than usual, but my lips have a tendency to be dry all the time, even before accutane. I have a couple new bumps, but i don't really think its from the medicine yet. I think it's more b/c i hadn't been using anything on my face in the few days prior to accutane.
At night I'm washing my face with a bar of Dove Sensitive Skin, and using a VERY thin layer of vaseline mixed with warm water as a moisturizer.
In the morning, I wash my face with the same Dove bar and use a Dove moisturizer. it's like the heavy moisture, or something like that. (it smells so good!! <3 )
I don't use foundation, I just use like tinted moisturizer and i try to wash it all off as soon as i get home.
I guess thats all there is to say! I'm planning on updating this regularly and hopefully see progress....
Thanks for reading!
