    Did you have a big breakout first while on accutane? if so how bad was it and how long did it last?

  4. eleanorlynn Said,

    yeah i wished that …
    yeah i wished that i took accutane before my grad year so i wouldnt be embaressed with all my pimples on face..

    i hope your dermatologist will give it to you :)
    and trust me, you’ll love the final results !
    im sure it’ll boost your confidence up as it did for me

    Yeah,i hope too.:D …
    Yeah,i hope too.:D
    And i’d really need some confidence…
    I became so obsessed with my face(skin) that the only thing that i notice on a person is what kind of skin does that person have! It’s so sad…
    And i decided that until my skin is going to be perfect(!) i am not going to live normally. It’s crazy but acne is really ruining my life.
    So,how good results were? From 1-10?
    What about acne marks? And skin tone(redness)?

  6. eleanorlynn Said,

    the results were …
    the results were fantastic!
    from a scale of 1-10..i would say 9..because i still had the acne marks there..
    as for the redness, i am using a specialized lotion for accutane..in which does not have a name because they just combine different chemicals to clear the redness on the face..i have been using it for about 6 months now, and the marks are still here(the marks are gradually disappearing each day), but thats not a problem because i can cover it with makeup :)

  7. eleanorlynn Said,

    omg..i hated makeup …
    omg..i hated makeup too! like when i was younger, i said to myself why ppl cover their face with junk that jst makes the acne worse..but then when i started to noice that the bumps were gone from accutane..and just the marks i left, i decided to start using foundation..i started off by using light foundation..so i dnt feel all cakey.but once all my marks are completely gone, then i probably wont be using anymore makeup..which im looking forward to!..its such a hassle putting on makeup everyday

  8. IIINuskaIII Said,

    Great!
    But,,i wanna …

    Great!
    But,,i wanna go around without wearing any makeup,i hate makeup!!! I hate it from the bottom of my heart! really,.I’ve been using it(and still do) for like 4 years now,and i am only 17…that’s sad.i hate foundation, feels like i am clogging my pores on purpose…yuk.
    I heard about somekind of a creme Meladerm of sth like that for bleaching skin. for evening your skin tone. Idn…some people say it’s good,some say it’s not…

  9. eleanorlynn Said,

    my acne started to …
    my acne started to flare up during the 2nd-3rd month of using accutane. it wasn’t bad considering i have suffered through a worse situation in the past. the flare up lasted for like maybe 1-2 weeks, but after, my acne started to clear up and in couple of weeks later i had soft smooth skin. the bad part was that the more i took accutane the worse my side affects were BUT its so worth it!

  10. BDuBBxBWS Said,

    damn i think alot …
    i think alot about taking accutane..but the side affects sound so ed up…so im gonna try and see a derm and see whats up..did you have bad acne?

  11. eleanorlynn Said,

    yeah i was thinking …
    yeah i was thinking for a while before i decided to take accutane..its a huge risk but you’ll get the results that you’ve wanted in the long run..and yes i did have pretty bad acne before using accutane..my acne started to flare up during grade 11 and continued till i gradded..which was pretty terrible knowing that i had to cross the stage and receive my diploma with acne all over my face …

    well i hope this response helps and hopefully you’ll make the best decision for yourself :)

  12. BDuBBxBWS Said,

    aha thanks…its …
    aha thanks…its said that theres a 80% chance of success for most people..I just hope im one of them…how much did it cost for you?

  13. eleanorlynn Said,

    i didnt have to pay …
    i didnt have to pay for my accutane because it was covered by my medical health insurance..which was sooo helpful because i heard accutane is really expensive..and my dermatologist visits were free too :)

  14. BDuBBxBWS Said,

    damnn thats good ha …
    n thats good ha…well i have to see about my insurance n stuff…im not sure..I dont wanna have to pay alot of money for something that might not work

    Did you get rid of blackheads with Accutane (if you had blackheads)?

    Your skin looks great=D

  18. eleanorlynn Said,

    yes i did! my blackheads disappeared within the 1st week of using accutane :)

    i was pretty amazed

  19. IIINuskaIII Said,

    Wow, that’s awesome …
    Wow, that’s awesome! I have blackheads mostly(but they are painful already-on my nose, it burns and so on…it’s awful;( ), but a lot of zits too.
    So i hope i will get rid of them with Accutane(if dermatologist will give it to me) !!!
    I hope i will get Accutane although it’s already summer. I just can’t wait. I want to see some results at the end of summer holidays…So i will be motivated for school in september. huh,sorry for this long story…lol
