So I suck at updates but I've been off of Accutane for about 3 months now and I've had maybe 2 super small, not noticeable at all, teeny tiny spots.
Face: No break outs, not super dry or oily. I'd say I have normal skin now (!!!!!!!) My derm put me on adapalene to use like every 2 days and I hardly use it that much. I did get scarring, not divots or anything just red and dark spots. So I'm using Derma-e scar gel, No7 protect and perfect and Sunday Riley Good Genes. I haven't used them enough to tell a difference yet though.
Skin: Less moisture than I used to have but the eczema is gone. No body acne either. I can wax again too with no issues-eyebrows, underarms, bikini, legs.
Hair: Accutane killed my hair. I had to get about 2 inches cut off because of it being so dry and heat damaging it more. My hair is way past my shoulder blades so it wasn't really noticeable. So if you curl your hair a lot like I do get a good heat protectant, do weekly deep conditioning treatments and I soaked my end in moroccan oil at nights after the damage was cut off. I have to wash it every other day now and while I loved going days without having to re-style my hair, it looks and feels much healthier now!
Pain: My back pain and stiffness stuck around for a about a month after treatment. The pain was really bad in the last month but it was worth it. My yoga game is no where near where it used to be but it helped so much for stiffness throughout treatment
So here it is-the make up free, I woke up like this, #flawless selfie. Thank you Accutane!!
