Week 5,6

Sorry for the late update! Busy with school work....

Side Effects:

  • Nauseous? After every meal I feel kind of queasy. sigh.
  • Still quite red in the face
  • Less dry, my hair is even getting oily after 2 days of no washing
  • Some blackheads came back and I am having a little break out :c
Sigh, not a good week for my skin but hopefully it will get better by the third month! That is normally when a lot of people really see results :)!

Week 4

Week 4 Guys! Done with my first month of accutane :)

So far clearing up. Last week I got a break out though :T Probably due to my period...but accutane is supposed to also work on hormonal acne.... >< *crosses fingers*

Side effects:

  • Still constant dry lips, just constantly put on a lip balm
  • Less dry skin than the first month
  • Still red faced
  • Sensitive eyes?
  • Dry throat and nose (not too bad though, just drink water) 
So far so good. Hopefully my journey will continue smoothly! >< Only thing that is really really bothersome is getting the actual medication. I just transferred my accutane to a different pharmacy and there was a minor problem. The result was just a lengthy wait at the pharmacy, around 2 hours. 

Oh! My skincare routine is really helping the dryness of my skin! As a matter of fact, my face rarely feels dry anymore! If anyone wants to know my routine please comment or something <3 

Thats all for this week! See you again soon :)

Week 3

Third week of accutane!
Side effects:

  • Dry skin
  • Bloody noses
  • Dry cuticles
  • Shedding hair
  • Redness in face
Well, it is my third week of accutane and so far so good! Besides the thinning hair, my other side effects are bearable. I have not had severe bloody noses and my lips are dry but they have not cracked and bled, unlike most people on accutane. It seems that I am lucky so far *knocks on wood* and hopefully my blood test will also show good results!

Oh! My blackheads are also almost completely gone! Still peeling though!

That is all for this week~ and hope everyone is having good progress with their skin problems too <3
