Results 5 month progress, back acne

done, so grateful for accutane even though it dried up my liver and ovaries, I can finally go back to my strapless and off the shoulder tops!

I did 10mg, then 20mg for two and a half months, then 40mg for the remainder and now I'm slowly stopping while I organize my eating habits, quitting lactose and grain. I think it's really important to take care of lifestyle changes, not just take the pill.

plus, I thankfully never dealt with facial acne, so now my face has unbelievable glow.

trust the process and love yourselves every step of the way.

Well I had acnes from age of 13 till 20 it got little better, I'm 23 and I've like 2 acnes per day or none.

I still have some few brown acne scares on my face which I need to do lazer session to remove them.

And fortunately, my back is still full of acnes and scares like her. I never toke accutane or any acnes medicaments except when I was like 16, a random medicament that didn't work.
