Posted in Roaccutane Diaries

Hi everyone! 

My name’s Claire, i’m 22 and have had acne for about 11 years. Today I had a dermatologist appointment and I’ve finally been given roaccutane!! I will be taking my first tablet tonight with dinner :D. I’m on 20mg for the first month, and then we’ll whack it up to 60mg (maximum for my weight) for the next 3 months. He said that should help lessen the side effects, which is good!

I am a bit scared of the initial outbreak but I don’t have to start uni for another 3 weeks so hopefully it should have died down by then… The dry lips sound a bit bad, but hopefully if I go on the pre-emptive attack with vaseline it shouldn’t be too bad!

Any product recommendations/tips for me?

Good luck to everyone!! Claire

Heyyy Claire,

I just started yesterday so I’m not the best person to give advice really but I just wanted to wish you good luck!

Also, if you’re looking for good products, check Abi’s ‘list of the elite’ products, there’s some good suggestions to be had!

But Blistex for lips…I think everyone agrees on that!

Hi! Thanks for the reply and the tip, will be out to buy some simple products tomorrow! I also have some Bio-oil that I bought a few weeks ago, I might use that in the evenings. I have been too scared to put it on my face until now, but I guess if my skin needs to be moisturised now, it might be good :)
Hope your treatment goes well, we will be having the same experiences I would imagine!
