Has anyone taken Accutane before?

 

Naw, proactive is where it's at.

 

What about Personalized Acne Treatment Soluctions?

 

Never tried any. I got proactive a few years ago and it works great for me so I haven't really tried anything else. I did once try an off-brand of proactive and it sucked, but that's about it.

 

lol, i remember when i had acne real bad. man...teenage days. i used the pad things.

 

I tried to use it when I was younger, but I couldn't do the whole in the morning and at night thing.

 

Not matter what the product, you should use it the way it was meant to be used to expect the results you hear about.

 

I've used Accutane.....it works, but dude I had to put lotion on my skin or it would harden and peel. I had it during soccer season in 10-20 degree weather, which made things ten times worse...

Why do you ask?

 

Yeah that's very true. What did you exactly use?

 

dude honestly....NOTHING ELSE WORKS!
i did 7 months on it...i had it bad. now im a model.
i took it in the summer, yea it helped big time with the acne... but i had a new sun burn every day....either get your treatments started before warmer weather comes around, or just use some other treatment untill next winter.

Accutane Roche 40 - Thats the exact **** i used. I back this product 100%...changed my life

 

I must be the lucky few that never really had bad acne. I had just a few small spots now and then that was it. I just used a daily face wash in the shower before bed just like I still do.

 

I never really had it all that bad, either, but there are certain times when I do get it and I will say no more because this is a male dominated forum, haha.

I use the Neutrogena Advanced Solutions or whatever the hell it's called. I love that stuff.

 

dont take it, a friend i know took it and it gave him liver problems.

 

I took accutane. Trust me, I tried everything first. I tried tetrocycline (an antibiotic pill), I tried all those lotions, I tried proactive. Nothing worked.

I finally went to my doctor and told him I was ready to try accutane. I took it for six months and my face has been perfectly clear since. Don't get me wrong, those six months were hell. I would get random nose bleeds at work, my lips would be extremely dry that I'd be putting on chap stick every hour, my face was extra sensitive to sunlight, etc.

But in the end, it was totally worth it. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

 

To me, that almost seems like one of those instances where 'the cure is worse than the disease'. I guess I have that thought because my acne has never been that bad to make me go to extremes. I suppose if I thought my acne was that bad, I would go to that extreme.

My skin is like ultra sensitive. I have to be very careful about the products I use or I will literally either be in pain or my skin will be horribly dry or both. Just to give you an idea, I can't even use Johnson & Johnson's baby lotion because I am allergic to it.

 

I feel you there Black Sunshine. Accutane was the only thing that worked for me. Since I was about ten I've tried to use every type of cream, ointment, pills, facewash, alcohol pads, and even Proactiv (which did absolutely nothing for me).

Accutane is the only choice for some people because it actually closes up your oil glands so your face isn't oily. Instead of just washing it off, it slowly lowers the oil you produce. After only six months my skin is completely clean and I had acne pretty damn bad. Now my hair won't even get oily lol. It works for sure.

 

Nothing works like it bro. It truly is the best medicine for acne there is... but it REALLY does dry you out. My friends would even try to make me laugh so my lips would bleed when i smiled :/

 

Some walgreens crap....it was like 5 years ago, too so I doubt they still sell it.

 

i only get small breakouts.. nothing to bad.

 

I am on month 3 with accutane. Was wondering how long it took until they took you off of it. **** sucks...i mean i used to workout like 6 days a week. Now i can only do like 2 workouts a week. And the lips cracking are really annoying. I have seen a huuuuuuge improvement in my skin though. Right now i am taking 40 mg a day. I could take 80mg a day but i would have to pretty much completely stop working out at all which i couldnt do. The thing with be a weight lifter and accutane is that when you do heavy lifting your body produces creatine. When your body produces to much creatine the medication stops working and the accutane may have a chance of damaging your muscles.

 

Had friend who took acutane for a couple months. We made fun of him constantly because he had to carry chap stick everywhere he went.

 

If that's all people could make fun of me for, I'd be happy. lol

 

if they are by your mouth they are probably herpes from kissing your boyfriend.

 

Who is it we will **** them up!

 

Are you trying to tell us something Ryan?

 

I stopped getting breakouts when I was around 18. It's awesome.

 

i know i can't ******* wait to have clear skin...it is pretty close right now. My face is really clearing up now. It is just my chest and back that still has a bit of acne left.

 

atleast im getting more love than you

 

wow..

 

yeeah....um...about that
