Guys, PLEASE stay the FUCK out of the sun for at least a year after your accutane treatment, I’d honestly recommend to be very careful with the sun for around 2-3 years after. Just be careful please

[@mirandaleigh3709]

I was on Accutane a few years back. 100% was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life. Still have ridiculously dry lips as a lasting side effect, but it’s worth it. Followed up with microneedling treatments for scarring ⭐️ My skin was a little worse than Dawson’s, I was swollen and working in the skincare business. I was embarrassed. I kept my head down always. I felt people wouldn’t take my advise on skincare with my own face looking the way it did. Accutane was incredible.

[@XtinaLucia]

Try the jack black lip balm. I was on it years ago too. I’m not oily anymore but I still have acne.

Madison A yes! I did a few sessions, I bought a bundle with the esthetician I went to, I did a bundle of three, you have to do a few sessions to start seeing results usually. But it faded my scars and brightened my complexion! I definitely recommend it if you’re thinking about it!

I had a few pimples here and there through high school and thought that would be the extent of it, but had a terrible breakout when I became an adult. Because I was dealing with moderate adult acne I tried so many different things and delved deep into reading and listening to whatever I could find about acne, skincare, and products. Five or so years later I'm finally understanding what to do and why and my skin is healing. Now I just want to help anyone I can so they don't have to waste time and money like I did and am always so happy when I see others doing the same. Thank you so much for this video I hope those who need this will find it.

[@garssympa500]

I got on Accutane at the age of 24 (1980), hence it was too late to avoid the scarring. Still, from the very first pill, that was IT! I've never had a pustular cyst since. I remember having to go for blood tests for liver function before and during the treatment. I wonder if that is still part of the treatment. I'm happy for Dawson... he is on the right track and so young! Great video.

[@ajkrakovsky6513]

I used accutane as a teenager and it made me severely suicidal and depressed. I HIGHLY recommend Epiduo!! Accutane really cleared my skin up and Epiduo helped keep the cystic acne away. Cetaphil cleanser, moisturizer, aquaphor for healing ointment. My nose would bleed everyday on accutane. It was honestly the best/worst moment of my highschool career.

[@ilincagagafan]

I'm glad to see someone speaking out on the side effects Accutane has, I've also experienced some major suicidal moments when I was on it and it triggered my anxiety and depression. It did work, it also made my existing scarring a bit better, but my acne came back a few years after I was done with the treatment when I was very stressed out. So yeah it worked for a very short amount of time for me, now my acne is back, not as widespread as it was before, but the scarring is way worse now. I think people should be more careful with it, it's a harsh medication, it's not just fun and games.

I never though I would ever use a face oil but it has been the one thing that has saved me from flaking all day! Anyways I’m rambling 😂 love you all 💗

[@classycassie1118]

I'm on accutane now and I changed my routine from an oily skin one to a dry sensitive one. I even switched my foundation from a matte to a dewy one which can still end up looking matte on me. I use a gentle cleanser, a hydrating toner and serum. Along with a heavy moisturizer and of course spf during the day. I apply everything while my skin is damp and I wait about 20 seconds before applying the next layer. I do the same thing at night except I oil cleanse and then follow with the steps. I skip the spf and add an oil instead. My skin has not peeled and hasn't been too dry because I have my routine down pact. Lubricating eye drops and a heavy lip balm are a must. I don't regret going on accutane at all. My skin is so clear and I don't have any scarring. The side effects for me have been minimal and I do recommend it if you have had acne for years and everything else has failed.

IMPORTANT!: If you plan on using actuate or antibiotics for your skin you should talk to your doctor about the effects it may have on your gut biome. I used accurate many years ago and it worked to clear my skin but it ravaged my gut biome. I continue to have stomach problems because of it. There have been class action lawsuits against accutane related to gastrointestinal problems. Understand that a dermatologist is a specialist and they focus on their area of expertise and that their success in treating an issue may come with adverse side effects in others areas of your health. If you choose to use accutane you need to investigate probiotics and probiotic foods. I wish I had known about the risks to gut health health this medication can cause it would have saved me a lot of pain and suffering.

[@XtinaLucia]

I wish they talked more about this! It’s not a perfect solution it’s so toxic.

[@designbyshivani]

Totally agree with you, after reading this it makes sense to me why im having stomach issues. Dermatologists never ever talk about your gut health, or the side effects of taking these harsh medicines. I believe everything starts with the gut health and taking care of it is key.

[@briannajoslyn9295]

@@designbyshivani I would disagree on the never part. I successfully completed accutane, but while being monitored constantly for side effects from my dermatologist. There were monthly appointment check ins where we discussed my gastrointestinal and my mental health, with blood tests to check for changes in lipid levels. It was an involved process, but I felt very thoroughly evaluated and was given tons of literature. She said it was all standard procedure, so I hope others do as well.

[@ofthegirl]

My daughter has Colitis after being on Accutane. She was in the hospital for almost 2 weeks, and now has infusions every 8 weeks. This definitely needs to be discussed! No history of any kind of IBS in the family. I wish we never put her on it.

These are all great products to use even after accutane, really. I was on accutane from 2015-2016. It changed my life for the best. For me month 2 and 3 were the most challenging: very dry skin rashes on my hands and neck, random nose bleeds, dandruff like crazy, and permanently dried out lips. I never experienced the mental health issues during my 6 months but know I was very lucky to experience what were seemingly easy-going but highly standard physical side effects. My advice to anyone undergoing it would be to do your reasearch, drink hella water, ban all alcohol consumption, lotion tf up day and night, make chapstick medicated and neutrogena suncreen your best friends, have patience, and the best of luck on your skincare journey!

[@carriemackay714]

Aquaphor is life

[@nana7fan]

I was on isotretinoin for about a year when I was 26. Low dosage, probably 20mg? For me, three things: aquaphor for the lips, La Roche Possay Toleriane Ultra for the face, and Vichy Ideal Soleil for oily skin as SPF. As I love to wear make up, I got my first beauty blender and switched the regular Ideal Soleil for the BB version of it, and that helped me to reapply my sujscreen and not leave too many dry patches on my skin. Also it is important to know that if you have oily scalp, you'll probably fall in love with isotretinoin. I only had to wash my hair twice a week, it was glorious! But you have to take care of your new normal to dry hair as well.

I tought it was worst thing ever and nothing helped to calm it down. I wish I had good skincare routine back then.

I had great skin for a couple of years until I went on birth control exactly once, for 3 months. When I got off it my hormonal acne came back with a vengeance. Now I'm just trying to survive with The Ordinary products but almost all of my scarring came after the birth control. Just about every zit leaves permanent scarring. Fun life in my mid-20s.

I was on accutane during college and had a very different experience, so I wanted to share some things that worked for me. I feel that accutane was one of the best things I have done for my skin, but to be honest, the process was rough. For me, my skin got A LOT worse before it got better. During the first 2 months of treatment, my acne was worse than it had ever been. But during the 3rd month, I started to notice improvements. By the end (I think 5 months) my skin was completely clear. I just want to reassure people that it will eventually work and don’t get discouraged!! Also, everything was really dry. My eyes got really dry, so I recommend using lubricating eye drops daily. Also, my lips pealed, and the only thing that worked for me was aquaphor. I tried pretty much every lip balm, and that proved itself to be the most effective. It’s also very important to moisturize your entire body. My hands especially got very dry. Lastly, don’t forget the nose!! I would get some nosebleeds because of the dryness. It’s important to put some aquaphor up there too!! Love these videos Susan!!

Omg me too

[@tranlevantra3773]

Thanks for sharing, I need to order aquaphor right now, my skin just started to peel but my lips have been peeling long before that

Doctor prescribed me accutane bt I'm bit nervous

Missing the segment where afterwards you would tailor a skin care regimen with products you would reccomend

SUSAAAAN! I’m DYING to see your reaction to Kourtney Kardashian’s skincare

[@jermwerm2575]

The way I am combating dryness while on accutane is washing with First Aide Beauty's anti oxident, sensitive skin safe, face wash. Then I tone with 100 percent distilled rose water and then imediatley use my snail mucous essence. I let the essence settle into my skin then use another essence made with aloe vera and fermented green tea. Afer that gets absorbed I use the cera ve night cream (both day and night because it is extremley hydrating) and it has literally been game changing. Keeps my face from drying up. I then finish it off by applying cera ve daily moisturizing lotion, to seal in the night cream and just add some extra hyaluronic acid.

[@Mag3141]

When I took accutane I took hyaluronic acid pills. While my lips still got dry and cracked my skin was not as dry as others I have talked to and I attribute that to the oral intake of hyaluronic acid

[@AaronHolmgren]

Can you make a video about skincare ingredients you shouldn't (and should) mix!

[@Nigerian373]

Can we see Dr. Desai’s makeup routine please pretty please?

[@dellar6358]

I LOVE Accutane it saved my skin and it's cleared up all the scarring I had. Will always recommend it. I didn't have any major side effects besides the SEVERE dry skin and sore joints and muscles and then afterward my hair fell out but only for about a month

[@vipertooth777]

I wish this video existed while I was still on accutane!

[@priyankasengupta3862]

I never had any side effect while on accutane.. only little dryness.. thts it.. its clear my acne and gave me back my self confidence

[@Nangeala]

Eurcerin soothing balm for his lips, but also as a nightime occlusive. its non comedogenic as well and very very safe for sensitive skin. I has like 7 ingredients in it, so very little to react to.

[@cauepeter3738]

My skin got worst when I started on accutane but after a couple weeks it got better. Unfortunately, I couldn’t keep on bc I had a side effect that I didn’t feel but it was affecting a protein called CPK (it was too high and could overwhelm my kidneys). Even though I just went on accutane for 4 months it helped my skin a lot. Now I’m still dealing with acne but all the products that I’m currently using are helping me to calm down my break outs (which gets wort in Brazil’s summer).

[@karissal5790]

I was on accutane for 10 months from aug 2018-june 2019, now I’m on it again (my acne did not come back nearly as severely as before though) hopefully this course sticks:)

[@emmaengland2726]

Having a great derm is EVERYTHING when you're on Accutane/isotretinoin. I took isotretinoin almost a decade ago and I've had clear skin ever since (I get the occasional hormonal spot, but that's expected as a menstruating person). My derm warned me to watch out for mood swings and just knowing they could be coming helped a lot. She also recommended cetaphil and cerave products, along with auquaphor for lips and nose, sleeping with a humidifier was a pro tip, and I always had a bottle of water with me. I had a purging period that my derm warned me about and that was hard but it was totally worth it for me.

[@migel3352]

Hey can I ask you something?? My dermatologist told me that I shouldn’t use any products on my skin while I am on my accutane medication. She just told me to use lip balm and Vaseline on my nose. But should I use a cleanser/moisturizer or something for my skin instead of only the accutane??

[@nishithareddy8742]

Did u face hair loss?

[@Juliet42110]

My dermatologist literally told me nothing about what I should use during my accutane course. And the same thing has happened which each retinoid and other topical that I've been on. I've gone to a lot of derms over my 30 years with acne & hyperpigmentation and none have ever given any details unless I ask questions and even when I do ask questions, they give the shortest answer. Thank god, I researched and always knew what my skin needed, but I think of all the people that had no idea what to do and ended up in a world of hurt. It is sad that it is so rare to find a doctor (in any field) that actually explains things.

[@lexijones8414]

I took Accutane in 1995/1996. It took two courses and it was brutal. Lips practically fell off, massive joint pain, constant blood work was necessary. The corners of my mouth scabbed. It was absolute brutal.

[@fkas4044]

I was on Accutane for 4 years before changing my derm. After changing my derm, I started Accutane again (stopped for 3 months and got bad breakouts) and she referred me to a obgyn to get my hormones checked. Turns out I have a condition that affects my hormones and now I’m on Accutane and birth control to keep my hormones checked and aerius to keep my allergies under control. 🙂🙃 hope to see the end of the tunnel soon cause meds’ sucks. I wanna start on essences and serums and have 20 step skin care routines instead of 3-4 steps of skincare routine! Currently on Cerave cleanser, Fresh Toner, Ceradan Moisturiser/ Fresh Rose Moisturiser, Heliocare Sunscreen, Vaseline or Laneige berry Lip Mask (for lips). Sometimes I feel like I’m not doing enough tho.

[@dianaedid7819]

I would LOVE to see your thoughts on Angie’s anti-aging skincare routine(winter 2019) her channel is called hot and flashy. I think she is amazing and I think it would be interesting to hear Susan’s thoughts :). Great video as always !!!

[@16ChocolateHearts]

I'm almost two years off Accutane meds now and ohmygod this would have helped me so much when I was on Accutane. Can you imagine, I didn't think I needed moisturiser!!! It was worth it though, skin is alot clearer now and I'm working decreasing the appearance of scars :)

[@nishithareddy8742]

Did u face hair loss?

[@user-cw5fj2xr8e]

Did you experience any relapse? , plus whats your skin care after accutane. And i wanted to know, if i can use Tretinoin cream, after my accutane treatment is completed, will the Tretinion cause any purging?

[@alezandradavila2581]

I couldn’t do it I stopped after two months!!! In my head I was hearing things it was horrible lol

[@ItsDavidN]

this is amazing, because my own skincare journey was so similar to dawson’s. i started breaking out in sixth grade and i tried drugstore acne products such as the (in)famous neutrogena cleansers, 10% benzoyl peroxide spot treatments, and the dreaded noxzema cream. nothing was working, so i finally went to a dermatologist. i was prescribed tretinoin and clindamycin creams and put on doxycycline (an antibiotic targeted towards acne bacteria) twice. i was even put on minocycline, which was a stronger antibiotic. the topical treatments never gave considerable results. using the antibiotics definitely cleared up my skin...but only during the time i was using it. once my prescriptions ran out, my skin would “rebound” and my acne would come back. only did i reach my senior year of high school (17 years old) is when my new dermatologist told me to consider accutane. i was desperate, so i did it, even with the side effects. even with the monthly blood tests. even with the surprising dryness that left the corners of my lips, the sides of my eyes, and the inside of my nose so cracked that it would bleed. however, my skin felt IMMUNE during the duration. i stopped getting any breakouts after the third month, not counting the occasional pimple that happened once in a blue moon. now that it’s been 7 months since i’ve been done with the treatment, i can say that my skin didn’t maintain the same super-clear state that it did while on accutane, but it’s improved considerably from pre-treatment. my acne is much more manageable and it feels like i can control my skin again. like dr. desai said, i do use a lot of active ingredients in my skincare routine now to target my hyperpigmentation that has been building for years. if u take anything away from this, i highly recommend people to see their dermatologists. u don’t have to “suffer” alone. there’s always help out there. ❤️

[@veronicavezzari1810]

Can you please do one for eczema?

[@Megan43210]

I’m not gonna lie - I freaking love cetaphil. I’ve TRIED SO HARD to get away from it but I just can’t!
