Hey guys, I'm abit confused right now as I don't know if I'm using the right moisuriser for my skin. I'm on week 8 now and its really dry, like if I don't put on cream every few hours my top layer of skin literally starts flaking off like i'm

I check this site pretty much everyday so i wasn't sure whether a daily or weekly post would be best, however i have decide on a weekly one unless anything extreme happens with my skin:) So far i haven't really experienced much in terms of side effects. The first few days

MY first 8 weeks of treatment went well i had my initial oubreak but after i was pritty much spot freee but last week i started breaking out again :S:S , well lucky enough for me i live near some woman whos a private dermatoligist and shes knows im on

Went to have my bloods taken today and ended up having to have an unscheduled appointment to get another prescription as my remaining Isotretinoin tablets ended up doing a cycle in the washing machine this morning! My skin is still a shock to the system but is much less inflammed than

Hi, finally got my med at the begining of the week (the NHS pharmacy experience is a new one on me...talk about a bun fight!!) I am on 40 mg a day until my next appointment (in five weeks) and this must be the first time that I am actually looking

I have a lot of bumps underneath my skin, on my cheeks. Has anybody else got this and do you know if it means there will be a HUGE break out? I'm a bit concerned. Or if this will just reduce throughout the coarse? Thanks, Paris x

Nearing the end of month 5 and yes I dont really have active acne at the moment, but my skin looks horrible, if anything i think roaccutane has made it look worse, i hate having to go out in public with red marks all over my face

So it's day 8 and feeling fine. A couple of things I've noticed. Been getting a few random sharp pains in certain muscles and my hands have cracked a little bit. Is this  normal?

I've been taking my pills pretty reguarly. It's difficult to avoid the sun, I don't really know how serious the warning is but it should be ok. My skin is getting a bit dry, definitely need to invest in a good moisturiser. However, the most annoying thing is LIPS. Oh. My.

Too be honest! I couldnt feel any worse! There still breaking out, still got dry skin and still got dry lips.. my jawline has broke out, under my chin i have about 5 big cysts ive never had before, my forehead has about 4 big spots Not good at all, When will i

Nothing too exciting has happened. I had a mild headache all day on saturday. Just today i've started to notice scaly skin and i'm itching like mad all day today!

Day 7 and I feel absolutely fine. Roaccutane is a breeze................lol

Day 92, two days into Week 14. I went out yesterday for the first time in probably 5 years with no foundation on, not even a dusting of the mineral stuff! My skin still has bumps and what not but it's been relatively clear, only had some breakouts in my ears! Also, the dry

Hiya Guys :) So, i've been having a bit of a problem for a few months now... but for anyone that hasn't read any of my posts before, here's abit of background... I was on Roaccutane for 4 months from August 2008 to December 2008. I was on quite a high dosage

I went to see the dermatologist today and she refused to put my dose up because I told her I'd felt a bit weepy and down. I'm a bit disappointed about this because I really, really wanted to shorten the course. She also explained that the reason I feel like

I am yet to see some results I am happy with. I have still had pustular spots on my cheek and visible marking. I keep up my healthy eating, avoiding alcohol and skincare routine as much as I can, I just want to see something HAPPEN. Also, I seem to
