Hello everyone!!
Recently I had been posting about how my skin had been breaking out again, even after taking 3 courses of roaccutane, and i really really didn’t want to have to resort to roaccutane again so I have been trying a large number of other things in order to try and sort out the spots [...]

Hello all, hope you had a good new year
I thought it would be nice to start the year out with something positive. I was looking through my pics and found one of me when I was about 14. At this point I had taken a few antibiotics but nothing was helping. I felt like [...]

Just wanted to wish all my roaccutane buddies a merry christmas!!!!

Well i wrote a few days ago to let you all know my skin has started to breakout yet again
This is a pic i took of my skin this morning, it’s very disheartening as only 6 weeks ago my skin was pretty much flawless, and from previous experience, it’s all down hill from [...]

I’m completely gutted. I kind of knew this would happen when i came off the dianette. My forehead has 4 spots which are hard lumps (thank god for my fringe), and i have several painful spots round my mouth and by my upper lip. I also have a new develop which is spots on my [...]

Ok, well, the original plan was to do absolutely nothing to my skin for a week, however, yesterday i got a bit fed up with the few annoying spots i had so decided to pop some “dr organic” tea tree oil from holland and barrett on them. Apart from that, i have done no washing [...]

Hey all!!!!

However, since coming off, i have been experiencing some small spots. Nothing very major at the moment, but enough to get me a bit worried. They are mainly around my [...]

I thought it was definetly time i did an update!!! Well, i came off roaccutane 5 months ago now. I continued taking dianette up until 1 month ago and then i decided to stop taking that as well, and currently, my skin is still looking very fabulous!!! Yay!
I was very nervous to come off [...]

Thought it was time for an update!!
Since stopping the roaccutane my skin has stayed very good. I currently have 2 tiny spots and they are the first since stopping the course, and as they are only tiny they aren’t really concerning me yet. I am still taking Dianette, however, the doctor called me [...]

I’ve finally taken my last roaccutane tablet after 10 months!!!!! I was actually quite sad to take my last 5 mg tablet as iv just got so used to taking it. My skin has been clear for a whole 7 months now, so i’m going to be completely gutted if it starts to break out [...]
