I'm happy to see your flawless skin. happy for you Emily!

These videos are quite thorough. Literally Gold for anyone weighting the pros and cons of trying accutain. I felt, you were almost shocked it's working as well as it is. I'm excited for you now about the rest of the course. All very nice to hear! 👌😊

Thank you so much. I’m just trying to be as honest and realistic as possible about my experience. It’s not plain sailing for sure, but I am shocked by the results I’m seeing in my skin 😱😍

That's a really interesting point about the sweat. I'll be starting accutane next month, but I have been using differin for a few months (even though I didn't have great results, I did see some improvement) and I noticed this as well!

I really don’t know if you’ll see this but I just watched your videos on your accutane journey and went back to this video to tell you a big thank you! I know it’s probably random but anyways I have been dealing with acne since I was 9 and I’m now 19 I still deal with it but it’s very mild just like yours on my face and back maybe a bit more intense on my chin/jaw and was so desperate bc I tried everything with my doctor and I felt like there was no hope left because since my acne is mild I wouldn’t be able to go on accutane and then well I saw a dermatologist who told me I could but was really really anxious mainly because the only stories I could find were very negative (like the side effects but also the way they were talking, it wasn’t with a positive approach) and it was people who had severe acne... after watching your videos I cannot explain how much relief I have felt!!! like you calmed me and I feel ready to go on it and be done with it! Thank you so much for sharing your story because it truly helped me and it probably for others as well ☺️ I hope you’ll have an amazing day

You do purge when you’re on Accutane for at least 2 months. Then it’s smooth skin from then on. I was on Accutane for 7 months and purged the first two months and after that baby smooth skin. My acne was persistent mild to moderate. Healed now and on topical Tretinoin for life for preventative measures. Love you Accutane❤ And please, you must wear sunscreen.

Hi babe, I’m on my second day of Accutane and already have pimples on my chin, even though I have mild acne. Is it purging or did I break out? 😫 also, did the old hyperpigmentation scars from before your treatment go away? Love your video ❤️

I wanna start it but scared of breaking out. Like u dunno if u will breakout that bad or not so it is risky u know

I have a question for you and the other young ladies . I am 30 , I have had cystic acne since 13 ..so going on 18 years now. It’s been persistent obviously lol so I have finally decided to take the plunge being that it is typically prescribed for those with severe or moderate and persistent acne. It’s always been my last straw though. Why do you guys take something such as Accutane with only *mild* acne ? I am still fearful of what all I may encounter and I know I have no choice essentially . I wouldn’t even think to take it with mild acne. So I am curious ./ could it be social media and the desire for “ perfection “ in society today?

@emi1ylouise

3 жыл бұрын

For me, the negative impact on my mental health outweighed any of the side effects from accutane so it made sense for me. My body acne was more on the cystic side and that's the main reason I chose to go on it and clear that up to prevent any further scarring. It's definitely not a one size fits all when it comes to making a decision about whether to go on accutane or not though

Sorry to hear your confidence is being affected by your skin. I know exactly how you feel and it’s hard 🥺 I know accutane is different for everyone and I was lucky in the sense that I didn’t really have a purge. My dermatologist said though before I started my course that normally people find the first two months hard and then there’s a light at the end of the tunnel, so I hope this is the case for you! But if not just remember your skin will get there and that your skin does not define you. Go on holiday and have a great time no matter what 😉
