Acne & Roaccutane forum logo

So i visited my dad a few weeks ago and noticed that my half sister has mild comedomal acne (she is about 15) so being the caring type i emailed my dad to suggest that maybe she tries differin cream because this by FAR the best topical i have ever used for my acne…I suggested [...]

This will probably be my last diary entry as I do not feel that I belong here anymore.
As the title suggests, it has been five months since I finished my Roaccutane course. Since then I have only had a few blocked pores on my forhead (due to changing facewash and my skin not liking it) [...]

Hello Dearlings!
I think this will be my last update for a while because my roaccutane and acne-related comments have become very boring, but in the best way possible!!

one week off the tablets and…..here is the good news – I have had no spots, the red marks are fading, I no longer have [...]

So that’s it. The last tablet has been taken. My journey with roaccutane is (fingers crossed) over.
As you may know from my frantic coment to my previous diary entry, I got me another mini pimple, or pimplet, which I like to call them (apparently this is a type of anemone too, but I reckon anemones [...]

Hello people! Huzah, I have survived another week of this, most tiring and woesome regime!!!
firstly, here are some pictures…side on without makeup at the end of day after travelling across the country (complete with delightful, as usual, tube journey), front on with makeup, just cos I wanted to show off my new hair colour and [...]

ok, so here is the lowdown. I read the article kindly sent to me by Olivia (Ton254) (cheers m’lovely) and have summarised the findings of a study comparing various aspects of some generic forms of isotretinoin (from 2006) and the original Roch pills. This study was funded by roche btw:
