Hi Everyone! I have basically been keeping a journal on my Accutane journey for my own as well as other's benefit. I find that reading other people's journal has helped me a lot, so I hope I can do the same for you!
If you don't want to take Accutane, I highly recommend you try Proactiv Solution. It was the only topical that helped me. I wrote a testimonial and a small journal about my experience in the links below. Check it out!
Note: Like every acne medication, Proactiv is only right for certain people. I can't tell you whether it's right for you or not; you'll have to try it yourself. But I'm writing so much about it, because it was the ONLY topical medication that help cleared up my face! (however temporary it was)
My Accutane Journal Entries:
I started keeping a journal kind of late - almost at the end of 2nd month. But nevertheless, I think you may still find some stuff informative or beneficial.
