Going on Accutane was the best thing I ever did. I went on a full dose for five months and it cured my severe acne I struggled with for 15 years. My life has extremely improved, I am so happy. Thank You!!
@YanadaMako Retin-A? Hmm, idk if that comes in pill form or not, but I used the topical cream form
I have sensitive skin, so it made my skin peel a lot and very red at first, but after a while, my skin got used to it. It didn’t make much difference for my acne, but neither did the Accutane or anything else I’ve ever tried xD I think it’s bc my acne is hereditary, though, so it may work for you. Just make sure to moisturize well, but not too much, and you should be fine 
Is this really correct?
Im on a low dose ad this kind of scared me… I weigh 67kg and Im on 20mg as of right now due to sid effects. If this dose wont cure my acne I want to increase my dose or stop. My doctor is controlling my dose, why would you know more than her?
@IluvKirito I’m so sorry to hear about all that :/
So what do you suggest taking? I have a lot of acne scars on my cheeks and so I was thinking of using Retin-A…
@IluvKirito done to my stomach. I don’t have the abdominal pains so much anymore, maybe once in a blue moon, but I now have ocular migraines that can be just unbearable. PLEASE, even in low doses, please don’t take this medicine unless you want to risk bodily and mental damage.
Please, no one ever use this medication, I BEG you. I took Accutane back in 2008, and within the first week I started getting headaches every day, and this weird pain in the left side of my abdomen. Then after about a month I started getting depressed and angry about everything; by the third month I begged my mom to call the doctor to get me off the meds and when she called and told him what was going on, he said I should have called sooner bc there was swelling in my brain and damage being
Thank you Dr. Schultz, very insightful now i know why I made a treatment,,just one and my acne came back..i might consider redoing with full dosage, dont want to control it i want to get rid of it
@lulanami I think your acne scars will take a little longer to heal. Try using Aloe gel. it does wonders for my fresh acne scars!
Thank you so much for this video! I have terrible acne and it started about a year ago (i have a video of my foundation routine you can see my acne in that video) I have been prescribed another acne medication and its basically vitamin and benzoyl peroxide and it makes my skin extremely dry and flakey (it even makes it burn sometimes) i dont understand why i suddenly got acne at the age of 21
i feel so terrible and insecure. sometimes i dont even want to leave me house :’(
Rather be pimply than with organ problems.
I had acne growing up and accutane was the only thing that worked for me. I had to go on it 3 different times over 5 years, but now my skin has finally stayed clear!
Fortunately, I didn´t had any bad second effect. Just my hands and lips got very dry. Then I had a blood test every month because the colesterol rise up. But it was controlled. Apart from that, I was ok eveytime I took it!
@lulanami Hola, creo que hace 20 años poco se sabía sobre como utilizarlo de una manera correcta. Lo que he visto es que ahora te lo dan durante más tiempo. A mi cada vez, sólo 4 meses, claro después de dos veces y gracias a dios ya no me volvió a salir, pero me dejó con muchas cicatrices. Gracias por contestar.
@randominternetgoer Pero veo que ahora durante más tiempo. en mi caso sólo fueron 4 meses. No sé, yo creo que no había mucha información hace 20 años sobre esto y por eso fui un poco conejillo de indias!!! Gracias por tu contestación
@ctriju a mi me parece que en españa en general nos dan unas dosis algo bajas, al menos es la impresion que me ha dado al leer foros españoles y americanos.
@tessab0o So sorry to hear this… Accutane is known to cause organ problems, Crohn’s disease, etc. Maybe you’ve just heard about this, and it’s the power of suggestion. But either way I wish the best for you.
I`m 42, when I was 18 and 19 I took the accutane, In Spain called, Roacutan!! It was very new in here, so I don´t know if I had the right daily amount of the product, because the next year, my acne appeared again….It was just for 4 months each time, if I remember it was 30mg per day. 20+10. I´ve got scars that still I try to fix with AHA Glycolic.
i never knew this! i’m 20, i weigh 56 kg and i went through a 40 mg dose for about 7 months, i finished my treatment last august. even though the acne isn’t back i do still have a breakout here and there, have blackheads, milia and have red scars. i don’t regret going through accutane but it was a bit disappointing because i was expecting a flawless result. maybe it’s because i didn’t go on a full dose, but that’s what the dermatologist prescribed. even crazy i wouldn’t go for a "second" round.
it helped me SO SO MUCH
where can i get accutane ?
I think this messed up my body
i have colon/side pain now.
my son start using accutane like a year ago and his face looks beautiful now thanks god everithin its ok
