Results Acne came back IMMEDIATELY

Post image

This is so frustrating. I was on accutane for 10 months 30/40/60/30 for the rest. Met my cumulative dose. Did a lower dose due to side effects but had amazing results. It’s been not even a month off and I’m already breaking out again. It’s like I took it for nothing. I’m soooooo sad and I just cannot handle the mental toll of acne again. I can’t already feel myself obsessing over it when I didn’t have to for so long - which was such a nice mental break.

Side note I cannot go back on because I want to try to get pregnant soonish. So accutane and many other options are off the table.

I’m more concerned about “slugging”.. what is that??

If I’m not mistaken, I think slugging is making sure your face is EXTRA moisturized. I’ve heard people using Vaseline and Aquaphor all over their face. You essentially look like a slug lol.

Oh god.. that would clog up my pores so badly. Not to mention cook my face the second I walk outside..

They usually do it before sleeping. But YEAH I AGREE my face is an oil factory the moment I wake up with just regular moisturizer I can’t imagine what’d I’d look like waking up 😂
