I feel so happy for that young woman 😊. To have successfully cleared her skin must feel AMAZING! I hope she’s feeling more confident and beautiful in her skin now 🙏🏼

I had horrible cystic acne and was on Accutane. The side effects were HORRIBLE. As soon as I finished, it all came back with in months. Turned out my acne was from a severe dairy allergy. I eliminated dairy and cleared my skin with natural oils.

[Reckoning]

I suffered for 15 years, before accutane.
Accutane needed 1 year to clear my skin, luckily I had no side effects aside from dry skin. It was SO worth it.

I figured out the secret to Accutane. I took it when I was 15 for six months and the only side effect I did not want to have was the dryness and dry chapped lips. I had done a lot of research on it and my cousins took it as well so I knew quite a bit about the drug and how bad ppls lips would get and some would bleed. Nothing else worked for me my back looked like a pepperoni pizza so it was my last resort I needed to take it. But I just DID NOT want the chapped dry lips no matter what. Then I thought if accutane is going to basically suck all the fluid out of my body if I keep hydrating myself maybe it will help? I drank 4-6 L of water every single day when I was on acccutane for a full six months. Even tho I lived in the bathroom a lot It helped tremendously. It first gets worse your initial breakout before it starts to get better but I wore my chapstick and drank my water and my lips were good. Skin was a little dry but nothing lotion couldn’t fix. The constant rehydrating is what saved me and made everything so much easier. After 2.5 months my skin became clear I remember getting compliments all over I was very happy and now I’m 29 and it’s still going well. But that is the secret. You HAVE TO DRINK 4L atleast every single day while on it trust me it will help you soooo much. Accutane is going to literally suck all the fluid & water out of your system but if you keep hydrating it won’t be nearly as bad. Anyone who’s on it or looking to go on it please do this and watch how much easier your treatment will be. I promise. God Bless

You look like you are a kind person and an understanding down-to-earth doctor😊

[GeorgieTVRus]

I thank the scientists so much for discovering this remedy. It saved my life and confidence.

[amaryllis_dz]

i've been struggling with acne for the last 15 years, i've been on accutane for 3 weeks and since i started it i only had one pimple! i never imagined this, i used to get new pimples every single day!

[stephensherry]

I think this medication is amazing. I know as with most medications that some side effects can be experienced.
I have to say though, if you rewatch the video that in the before scenes the lady isn't wearing makeup, but clearly in the last 2 still, she is.
This will obviously have an effect on the end result.

Hello doc, I have 15 more days to go on Accutane and its been 10 months, which I took 40mg daily for the 9 of it. My dermatologist said its fine since total dosage taken was around 10000 mg (I am 5’8 and 160lb), but I am still curious. Is it okay?

[madison-us]

i have blackheads on my nose, cheeks, and a little on my chin and inbetween my eyebrows. does this get rid of blackheads? if so how long does it take?

[ringtok]

I am tired of trying to get rid of acne

[daniyal]

How long should accutane be used.
I have been usinfmg for 2.5 months.
Dont have acne for a long time. But basically using for acne hyperpigmentation

[Purrl]

Hey doctor, question…
Can you take 2 10mg isotretinoin capsules at once in the morning and another 2 10mg in the evening to Carter for a 40mg prescription?

[RedRumble]

What’s the original video? I wanna find out the time it took to achieve that progress. 6 motnhs or more?

[kennethkristopheranouilh]

Why does it have to take so long to work,

[rohitnarvade]
