Isotretinoin: Acnetrex / Accutane / Roaccutane Thread 2

[graezieylicious]

How much is that sis and where to buy? I put oil na nga and moisturizing creams pa nga pero dry pa rin. It really sucks up the oil pero the benefit is good naman.

Hi! I am under acnetrex too and so far nacocontrol na nya, kakatapos ko lang ng 2boxes and going under a lab test muna.. also using vanicream, very lightweight at kaya ang dryness due to isotret

[baby.girl]

What lab tests are you having @glacy_rein?

[glacy_rein]

^hi sis! Lipid profile, Liver profile and CBC para mamonitor ng dra ko yung effect ng gamot sakin. I only take it once a day 

[plethoraldork]

im currently using isotretinoin (acnoin-20) 20mg daily. im on my 4th week now. so far there's good improvement on my skin. alongside isotretinoin, my derma recommended me to use duac gel morning and night to be applied on pimple area. she also told me to apply glycolic cream 10% at night time to lighten my acne scars as well as sebamed face gel to moisturize my skin.

does your derma also prescribed you with other topical treatments while on isotretinoin therapy? i've read kasi that exfoliating products shouldnt be applied during isotretinoin treatment because it will make your face red, sensitive and irritating and worse is it might cause permanent scarring. and glycolic acid is an exfoliating product right? but im not sure if this is true to all. my skin now is really sensitive even if im using sunblock. though i havent noticed yet hyperpigmentation but my face looks red sometimes. do you guys experience this?

[red_yesha]

^Hindi naging red yung face ko noon.
Blooming lang. Hindi kaya nasobrahan ka sa Glycolic cream?
Binigyan ako ng derma ng 3 topical treatments Clindamycin, Benzamycin and retinoic cream.

You might want to ask your Derma kung bakit naging reddish yung mukha mo.
Sakin kasi lahat ng napapansin ko, tinatanong ko sa derma baka kasi may mali sa reaction ng skin. Nasobrahan o hindi compatible

[eischied_21]

^^ sis, where did you buy your duac, pharmacy or sa derma? Naghahanap ako nyan last year and as per research discontinued na.

Hi I started taking isotretinoin. Hindi ko sure kung anong brand niya since tingi ko siya binili it's too expensive kasi for me..I'm just a student. Ang daming gusto ipabili at ipagawa sakin nung derma ko. I'm on my 5th day na today and so far medyo na-kontrol na ang oiliness pero minsan sobrang oily parin talaga. Hindi ganun kalala ang acne ko pero ang lalaki at sobrang dark talaga nila ngayon kaya nagpa derma na ko. Ano po advice niyo gawin ko po ba mga sinasabi nung derma? Wala po kasi akong tiwala sobrang dami kasi tapos lahat nun sa clinic niya bibilhin so medyo nag doubt lang ako... siguro more or less 10k yun kapag kukunin ko.

[crazycoolchic19]

Pede na ba mag take nito 15 years old, grabe kasi dami ng pimples ng anak ko nawawalan ng confidence. Sabi kase hes too young for isotret. Kaya yung mga gamotlang na differin, glycolic and clindamycin toner kaso walang effect.

[glacy_rein]

^maybe its time to go to different derma sis and malakas itong isotret e..

[acneisannoying]

^^ what did your derma recommended you aside from isotretinoin? and how much dose did she prescribed?

First, regimen. Like 3 products in the morning and another 5 products in the evening. Then he also recommended a vitamin f2f ata yun 2 capsules daily for 2 months which costs 2.5k. Then after a week of taking isotretinoin daw bumaik ako for acne surgery that's 1k, Peeling 1.5k, hindi ko na mabasa yung isa sa prescription niya but that costs 500. Then post peel daw cleaning 600php, green peeing oil 300, hindi ko mabasa 500 at isa pang 500. Sorang bigat niya sa bulsa. Yung friend ko kasing sobrang daming pimple nun ngayon ang kinis na ang prescription lang sa kanya is isotretinoin and safeguard na white for 3 months. Huwag daw magpahid ng kung ano ano kasi baka ma irritate skin. Ngayon ang ganda na ng skin niya pero may maintenance padin siya like 2x a month ng isotret.

i usually get pimples during my ovulation days and pag magkakaperiod.. gusto ko na mag take neto, meron bang magaling at mabait na derma within fairview? sa FEU-FERN kaya?

[cagalli12]

Hi I wanna join this thread and ask a few questions. May 1 month na akong nagtatake ng Isotretinoin: Isonoin and so far dryness of the lips and face pa lang naman. Pero may time na nangangati ako which is a common side effect sabi dun sa nabasa ko sa papel kasama dun sa medicine box at red spots (which I think is called rash? lumabas siya nung may period ako) Does anyone else experience these types of effect? And if so ano po ginawa nyo?

[plethoraldork]

 ^^ i use sebamed face gel as moisturizer to combat irritation caused by dry face

[reighnyielle]

I'm on day 7 of isotretinoin and so far the side effects that I'm experiencing are mild headaches and dry lips. I am still breaking out but I'm not sure if it's because I'm purging or because of my hormones

[red_yesha]

Gusto kong magbalik loob sa gamot na to kaso ayokong magpa lab test. May gowlay ang mahal kasi nun!  Bat kasi hindi covered ng healthcard ko ang kaartehan ko sa pimples!! 

[Ma.Jewel_1987]

Bumalik ang oiliness ko after few months ng matapos pagtake ko nito. Ayoko na magtake uli since mahal so susundin ko muna lahat ng bawal kainin (oily and high in sugar foods). More on fruits na lang.

[karla1o]

hi sisses, do any one of you knows a derma around QC who prescribes these meds?

i really want to give this a shot

[honeybunny]

^me too. im contemplating na about this.

also, any side effects? sabi kasi nakakadepress daw at it affects mood? how true?

[vanity fair]

^  That was also my question before taking it.  Sabi ng derma ko, mas nakaka depress kung pangit ka  .  Honestly, i didn't feel any depression while taking it.
