I'm on Accutane (isotretinoin) and its made my acne so much better, and my self confidence increased to much. It's had no negative side effects on me what so ever.

I was on Roaccutane for 6 months and it gave me extremely dry skin and Yknow what I did? Stocked up on intensive moisturiser and lip balm and moved on with my life without bitching all the time- my skin is now pretty clear and I don't get breakouts anymore- comparing that to the extremely red face and painful cystic acne I had in the past - some dry skin was not a major problem.

@@kiranmai8773 It is based on body weight. You can't dose yourself because you require LFT blood tests and if you don't have them you might end up destroying your liver. Typical minimum dose is 30mg so if that is for a 70 kg person you can work it out. The Roacc capsules in the old days had the dose on them and they were always Maroon coloured. That's my recollection.

Acne affects most people with bad diets. I used to eat so much junk. My skin was so bad. When i cut down the junk and started to eat more healthy food and went to the gym, my skin problem disappeared. Well, most of it but it is so much better!

Yes, but then the fat content of your diet induced your acne. Doesn't mean that's the cause for everyone :)

Coconut oil is why I didn't leave my house for 2 months due to huge cystic acnes. 😠 Never again.

Fantastic hearing skincare advice from an expert! Laughed at the face wipes question!! It's a no from Phillipe 😂

since july from 2015, I've been using Roaccutane and I love it, this might sounds weird but it has definetly change my life! (sorry if I make grammar mistakes I'm from South America)

+Mayra Astudillo primero me tuve que ir a hacer un análisis de sangre, como estaba todo normal y mi papá es doctor, me consiguió una orden de roaccutan, eso también te lo puede conseguir una dermatóloga. Presente esa orden o "permiso" en una farmacia y me dieron el roaccutan. Saludos!

This video actually helped SO much. The make up wipe thing is what got me the most. When he said that I realized what the acne from my face is actually caused by. Makeup wipes! I began to think when my face would break out, then I realized that whenever I stop using makeup wipes, my face clears more. Now I just have to worry about my bacne problem.

Personally I take isotretinoin for 3 months now and the results are amazing so far. Worth the dryness!!

i was taking roaccutane for six or seven months and it was realy hard and i really understand you. i had really dry skin but now my skin is really good. love you❤❤

Did you have hairfall in raccutane ?

So glad you did this video! So many people think coconut oil is so great for your face when all it does is clog your pores! Never knew about the makeup wipes, I don't use them very often, but now I know not to use them at all..lol.

finally some reliable advices from dermatologist! :D

I'm on Isotretinoin and the dryness is horrendous, but it's worth it my skin has cleared up so much, don't let it out you off just be prepared for it! X

I haven't had an issue with coconut oil, i use it to take off my eye makeup before I use my clarisonic to was my face, and then if my skin is a little dry (more in the winter) ill put it on my face and use a hot rag and drape it over my face and let it open my pores for about 30 second and then wipe the oil off and if there is any left I rinse it off. I usually only ever use coconut oil at night

When u where talking about makeup wipes I was taking my makeup off with a makeup wipe and I was like shit lol, thanks for the video, v helpful xx

It's so Good that you talk about acne and what to do and not to do, it's so helpful! PS. I Love you and your videos so much! Thank you and please continue what you're doing!

I'm from Morocco and use olive oil to remove make-up and then wash it off is very effective and useful

This is such an informative video, thank you so much for doing this and for getting this lovely gentleman on board, too! I love how you're taking a different turn on the entire "skin-thing" xx

I have been on auccutane for 6 month before and u stopped and it came back now so I'm gonna eat it for 6 more months. And when I was on auccutane my skin and lips was horrible dry. Some days when I woke up my lips where bleeding.. Osssh it was soo horrible. And I had nosebleed maybe 1 time a day. But then it was a amazing feeling that my skin looks incredible nice, no oily at all and I didn't have to wash my hair because it didn't get oili. I loved the results but my acne is here again. Please wish my good luck that this time on auccutane it will works! ❤️❤️❤️

I was amazed by your PR skills. You're so calm and collected. Gosh, Hope to have that skill as well.

So helpful! I always sensed that sun is a killer for my skin. More films like that please, now i'm having a new hope and i'm over the moon. Love ya

I knew it, I said makeup wipes were bad!! I noticed after I use them my face would break out & just look horrible. I went back to using a good ol washcloth or just picked up the makeup remover cloth from Sephora & Its improving. Thank you so much for doing this video

I was on the coconut oil train to take off my makeup. It did such a good job of melting everything off and my skin was great for a long time. And then I began to have terrible breakouts. I switched over to using mineral oil to remove makeup and my skin has recovered.

Thanks Morgan. I just go off of what I've learned from r/skincareaddiction on Reddit. I will keep an eye on my skin because I don't fully trust any product anymore. However, from what I read on mineral oil, the molecules are too large to penetrate the skin. That's why mineral oil and Vaseline are great at keeping the skin hydrated by acting like a sheet on the surface to stop any moisture from escaping. I do find that if I don't properly remove the oil after removing my make up, breakouts happen. I avoid this by removing it with a hot wash cloth or going over my skin with a micellar water. If you'd like to look into it, here's a thread below! www.reddit.com/r/SkincareAddiction/comments/1356nj/mineral_oil_and_its_benefits_for_skin_dont_be/

I’ve been on 40 mg of Accutane for one month so far. The only dryness that I have is my lips and they are not that bad. Maybe when they up the dose I will start to experience dryness. I use cereve products. It’s a good brand that isn’t expensive.

About a year ago, I started to become very spotty, extremely bad, covers both my cheeks and my chin. Although all my life I've been prone to a few spots this was horrendous and it was acne. It wasn't a minor case but in fact one which ruined my life for about a year. 7 months ago, I was subscribed from the doctors to a dermatologist. I was put on a course of roaccutane for 6 months and I came off it about a month ago, it took me around 5 months of being on the treatment before I started to see a difference. The dryness of my skin was awful especially my lips and face, but I got bad eczema in the cracks of my arms. It was difficult having bad effects and seeing no improvement but at 5 months my spots started clearing up and now I have no spots, only around my time of the month which are hormonal. I am now left with red inflammation on my face which is caused by the roaccutane because even after you stop taking it, it stays in your body for 6 months. It really has changed my life x

omg this was so helpful! thank you so much for this video! honestly you have helped me look after my skin so much better and cover my acne❤

Woah thank you so much for this! Every night I use a makeup wipe to remove my makeup, then I use a gentle cleanser and toner before moisturizing. My acne has been REALLY bad and nothing I do has been working so now I figure it's the makeup remover wipes! thank you!

They strip the skin of the good things in it as well as the bad. A lot of them contain alcohol which isn't good for the skin and they also can increase oils and unbalance the ph levels in the skin because you are removing what the skin needs to keep it healthy x

Dry skin isn't the only problem with Roaccutane. I was on it for 10 months and just recently came off. I had awful side effects. I've lost half my hair; it's so thin now, and it really took a toll on me mentally. It's been an awful journey both mentally and physically. Really think about it before you go on. It effects everyone differently - you can't guarantee what side effects you'll get. It's definitely not a quick fix like people say it is.

Oh gosh, i use the Simple Oil Balancing face wipes when i'm really lazy.....back to warm water & a face cloth for me!

i've always hated face wipes because they just feel so abrasive and horrid on my skin, i'm glad my neuroticism is actually justified

This video was so helpful! Great advice and will definitely put it to use :)

i hate make up wipes anyway my face doesn't feel clean afterwards so just soap and water works the best and feels refreshing 😊

You look so different idk why !! But more & more beautiful in each video 😭🙌🏻❤️❤️❤️

Brill loved this.. thanks hun x

I have been using Roaccutane for a month now and I think I do see my skin improving already. I have always had a very oily skin so I don't have a lot of dryness. Just a simple basic day cream has been enough for me. I think the lips are the worst, they keep cracking open. I use a lot of lip butter or eos (eos works for me, I know to some it doesn't) and also Vaseline, but I don't feel like Vaseline really prevents the dryness. Also my hands are dry. This video was very helpful!

Great Video. this one was really helpful

Omg this has been a massive help thank you !!!!!

This video is awesome - it's great hear expert advice!

Thanks for making this video. It's all super helpful!

I use coconut oil to remove my makeup and i have not one single pimpo not even on my period... So maybe is only bad for people with extremely oily skin and people with a lot of acne and sensitive skin.
