hey ladies,

I was wondering if any of you have tried accutane and what are you experiences with it if you have.

Thanks for your replies in advance.


Jessica

I haven't, but here's some info I found on it for you:

link

And this link is a forum Q&A type thing, has a bunch of links with questions about Acutane.

Thank you for the information .

what is it? I'm on a cleaning break :P

If you'd click on one of the links, you'll see that it's a STEROID. :P

Jess! You wanna start up steroids?! :blink: :cheeky:

at this point I am pretty much willing to do what ever it takes to get rid of this acne , I cant take it any more it hurts so bad and its all over my face . I've tried every presciption out there and apparently this is supposedly to be really good but it does have some pretty bad side effects so its something to think again I have a month til i can begin it so we will see.

I heard about this on a radio commercial:

Zeno

Doesn't have internal side effects like some of the medications and it looks like it works pretty quickly...It is kind of expensive, though..

I have heard that on the radio too looks pretty cool althought i am not sure it would help me cuz mine is pretty severe and all over but thanks for the info string as for taking accutane i'm not going to i'm calling the dr next week to let him know after reading up on it and praying about it its just not the right thing for me I think i tossed n turned all night after i read all the information on .I really do appreciate you all taking the time in this thread .

Did you try Proactiv?

No I havent but I tried the off brand of proactive called Acne Free walmart sells and It didnt do a bit of good so I am a little leary of spending all that money on proactiv .I'm starting to look into some herbal stuff possibly something from Mannatech I am already on 2 supplements from there so trying to find something that helps acne its just so bad I dont have much hope left.

Proactiv has a 60 day money back guarentee so maybe it would be worth a try.

oh it does? hmm well maybe later on I might try some mary kay stuff see it that helps i dunno I would love more then any thing to just wake up and have it all gone I guess one can dream.Have any of you guys used mary kay products?

Nope. I've never use any Mary Kay products. I've only used some drugstore stuff and Yves Rocher. I prefer Yves Rocher because they're natural and plant-based products. My favourite thing to do is soak a Q-tip with tea tree oil and dab at the "trouble spots".

Sorry you're having to deal with such terrible acne. :hug: My sister has had acne problem since having her 3 son. She gets this :screwy: idea that maybe having ANOTHER baby might "clear up" her acne. :rollseyes: Obviously, hers are hormones related.

well she might be on to something since you do have very beautiful skin when you are pregnant no dont worry i'm not going to try that. Is yves just a canadian product oh wise one?

Hey...I can live with "oh wise one".....B) :thanks:

Yves Rocher is available in Canada AND the US! www.yvesrocher.com for you, lil lady.

Has your doc suggested birth control pills? NOT something I would suggest...I'm just asking...just to be nosey. :tease:

Yes he has and the one before I moved to vancouver .I was on them for a while but they didnt help and I didnt see no need to be on them so I stopped.

Can i just say I love Mary Kay!! Its only been less then 2 days but I am noticing some improvement at least I think i am it doesnt hurt as much !! Any ways just wanted to share that with you ladies!

:stars: :yay:

That's awesome! :thumbsup: Hope it keeps up! :yay:

Woot Woot!!!
