Hi girls. I'm Ana. Since i started isotretinoin prescribed by doc mike lagi na ko nagbabasa dito. Nagstart ako last August 22, so naka-one month na ko, for the first ten days umiinom din ako nung prednisone tablets na nireseta din ni doc, by the way im on 20mg per day, on the third week nagpupurge na ako, sabi kasi ni doc mike yung case ko daw yung pinakaayaw ng mga derma, more on white heads kasi ako or close comedones, at konting cystic, yung white heads is yung maliliit na pimples na kakulay lang ng balat, pero madami sila, sa cheeks at sa forehead ko. Ngayon 5th week ko na sa isotretinoin, at nagpupurge pa din ako, may mga pus pa yung malalaking pimples. Nawalan lang ako ng hope nung may nabasa ako na accutane daw is not for this kind of acne na meron ako, pero may mga nabasa din naman ako na effective din daw sa close comedones. Yung thread na yun is from the other country not here sa philippines, i just want to know if meron dito na kagaya ko ng case at nagsuccess sa acnetrex? Please help me, i'm starting to lose hope na. huhuhu :'-( i will appreciate your efforts.

^ sis ganyan din sakin dati milia ata tawag dyan.. ako kase di na ko nagpurge sa acnetex kasi nagpurge ako sa tretinoin dati. yun ang alam ko ha.. mawawala din yan sis ano mga mga ginamit mo prior accutane? to begin with wala naman ako pimples now oily lang ako kaya im on acnetrex. no purging naman so far.. mas ok na wag ka gagamit ng kahit ano sa mukha mo kase acnetrex itself eh potent mapapagaling nya yan :)

Thank you so much sis cherness :-) Bigla akong nabuhayan ng loob. hehe I think effective nga din sya for close comedones kasi nagpupurge yung mga maliliit na pimples nagiging malaki, tapos pag gumaling napapansin ko nababawasan yung maliliit. Hehe, at ang pupula nung mga malalaking pimples, ang sakit pa. Kahit di ko pakealaman masakit eh. Normal lang ba yung may pus? Ganun ba talaga ang purging? Hmm. By the way sis cherness may mga binigay si doc mike na topicals eh, facial scrub lotion, clinda toner, AHA toner, Ery Gel, At Combi Acne Cream. Every month din ako pupunta sa clinic for facial cleaning with glycolic. Effective naman sya sakin, nalelessen yung scars ko. Ang sakit nga lang pag pinrick. Hehe How long kaya ako magpupurge. Di ako makapag apply ng work because of my face, gusto ko kasi okay na ko bago maghanap ng work. Tapos nahihiya na din ako makipagkita sa mga friends ko kasi dati when i was using dalacin c at eskinol wala talaga ko pimples, every period lang nagkakaroon, e wala ng effect kasi 4 years ko din yun gamit, highschool kasi ako nagstart magkapimples. Eh last year laging puyat gawa ng thesis, ayun. PIMPLES. :-( Kaya nung graduation namin this april hindi ako masaya. Ang daming nagtatanong ano daw nangyari sa mukha ko :-( Before puro compliments ang natatanggap ko, lagi pang muse, kaya ngayon super down ako. Nahihiya na din ako makipagmeet sa bf ko. Huhu Sana effective sakin tong acnetrex. Thank you sis! :-*

Hi again! mga sis can you suggest make up na pwede gamitin while on isotret? Ayoko naman kasi makipagkita sa bf ko ng walang make up at makita nya na ang lalaki ng mga pimples ko since nasa purging stage pa din ako. Napakasensitive ko kasi lalo sa make up. Kapag hindi ko hiyang yung nailagay ko mamaya mangangati na ko, tapos pagkatanggal ko dami na ng comedones. Prone pa naman ako sa comedones. Suggestion ng derma ko clinique daw. May nakatry na ba dito ng clinique while on isotret? thanks in advance mga sis!

Almost a month user of acnetrex. And yes it worked! No oily face for me na. But still with pimples sa chin area pa isa isa, purging siguro. Pero grabe kinis balat at oily free, no need mag retouch. Once a day lang ako magpowder. :)

Hi, I'm thinking of taking Accutane. My derma has recommended it since day 1 but am still hesitant because of the purging and the side effects.

My skin is more on the oily side with lots of white and black heads. I'd get cystic acne once a month during my period and I would only have around 3 of them. Problem ko talaga ang white and black heads and the oiiillllyyy skin.

Anyone who has relatively the same skin condition? I wonder if this would be effective. Super takot ako sa purging! I am working so nakakahiya naman if papasok ako with tons of cystic acne. :(

But on the other hand, I really want to do something about my skin. Gusto ko naman magkaroon ng clear skin!

Since december last year, I have not taken dairy products ( cheese, milk, bread, ice cream, any food product that has milk in the ingredient ) because the cows are treated with androgen hormones--which spikes oil production! I made sure I made a significant decrease taking in refine sugars/carbs ( no chocolate, no white rice, no white pastas). I substituted sweet potatoes and oats. I drink a concoction of juiced carrots, cucumbers, apples and sugar beets  5-7 times a week. I increased my water intake for 3-5 liters daily. and I excercised!


I'm really inspired by your post! Problem ko talaga oily skin and white and black heads! Di ko na alam gagawin. Gusto ko naman magkaroon ng makinis na balat! Pero parang ang hirap ng ginawa mo. I'm working so part talaga ng buhay ko yang mga food na nilista mo. :( How do you start???

2months and 8 days of acnetrex, that's 9 weeks. From super daming white heads sa cheeks at forehead, now siguro mga 20 pieces nalang sila sa cheeks ko. Forehead ko wala ng pimples! Pero i'm still purging. May malalaki pa din na lumalabas, sana matapos na. Think positive lang! Ang problema ko ay scars, ang dami kasi gawa ng purging, pero sabi naman ni doc next visit ko bibigyan nya ko ng vitamin C serum for scars :-) Yun lang. Good luck satin! Balang araw mawawala din tong mga pimples na to. Hehe

Hello guys!! :) I just started taking isotret (isonoin) last night (she said to take it after dinner i don't know if there's any relevance ask ko pa sya). Walang blood work sabi kasi ni doc low dose lang naman daw so no need na. I'm 48kg, 5'2" on the chubby side (onti lang :D) and she prescribed me 10mg everyday for 2 weeks. Then, balik ako after a week for monitoring and after a week ulit check ulit to know if kailangan i-taper ang dosage. So far 1st day no side effects yet. I hope walang IB especially side effects. Sana success ito. Good luck and God bless sa mga gustong tumahak sa landas ng mga tane users. :)

hello guys! update lang ako dito. exactly 3 weeks nako tom and talagang effective ang gamot na to! I have the oiliest face and 2nd week pa lang lesser oil talaga then this week as in almost zero na oil sa face ko feeling ko nga yun moisturizer ko sinosoak na din ng mukha ko kahit damihan ko pa. To think na every 3 days na lang ako nagtetake ng pill (10mg) since 2nd week eh effective pa rin kaya now every 5 days naman gagawin ko. Medyo nagpurge skin ko thank God malilit lang yung pimples at hindi naman marami parang normal bumps pero inflamed nga lang as in kahit maliit ang pula pero madali din gumaling (magdry). Pati everytime maghihilamos ako ramdam ko yung comedones sa buong mukha ko (yup, gross!) pero hindi sya visible, I don't think matatapos na ang purging stage na toh. Sana lang hindi na dumami pati sana walang cystic acne :/. Yun lang I hope okay lang mag-update dito.  :)
