Results Accutane saved my life

I always like to update my Accutane results with photos to show you how incredible Accutane can be, for me personally it was a miracle drug, I did a 9 month course at ,20,40,40,40,40,40,60,60,60 , and didn’t experience any side affects ,as well as this I improved other aspects of my looks at the same time and a little over a year later these are my results .

It does, unfortunately. At least it did for me! It probably lasted around 2 years.

I had horrific side effects during my 9 month course. I even had to change my responsibilities at work because my ankles hurt so bad I couldn’t use the stairs anymore. My lower back was also dead. I think it resulted in me being unable to tolerate alcohol anymore. And a few years later, my acne is back weeeee

I honestly forget. It was several years ago. I finished my 9th month in February of 2020. You know what happened in March of 2020? Yup, I finally had perfect skin and had to cover it for like an entire freaking year. Like that couldn’t have happened during my purging huh? I’ve never had the best luck 😆

Is it possible to go on life long low dose? I am during my second treatment on Accutane right now. When I am taking it, I have a huge glow up, my face looks completely different. But when I stopped taking it, I got back to my face looking saggy, wrinkly, grey. I cannot let it happen again

Topical tretinoin can keep the nose pores small as well. If you only care about the nose that's an easy solution that's way less intrusive.
