I'm 3 weeks into a four month course of roaccutane now, just to kick it to the kerb for good. However I've been spending a fortune on skincare. Its a nightmare! I'm still getting spots and blackheads but my skin is flaking off too! Argh. Aveeno is good for the body but haven got it right for the face yet. Just got the nutritiv stuff from Roche Posay.

Drugs cost 183 euro per month of which you have to pay 100 with a drug payment scheme card that everyone is entitled to. So its a thousand euro for a four month course. Crikey! No wonder Ive no spare money. Then you've to spend on skincare for your dramatically altered skin. I'm finding the le Roche Posay stuff great but I tried lots of stuff before settling on that.

They have been the best thing I've ever used. They prevent breakouts and they reduce spots within an hour. I also have a question. I have scaring on my forhead from spots and I was wondering what people would suggest I use to help treat it. Thanks in advance.

Btw i've tried TCP and it has yet to work.

I think one of the biggest problems I had was feeling like washing my face was the answer to bad skin and spots. I thought, "well, if I try this new face wash it will clean my face better than what I was previously using and my problem will be solved" but it was the exact opposite. I fell victim to over-washing and nearly caused permanent damage to my skin (no joke). Then I gave up and went back to common sense - wash your face with a tiny bit of soap when it actually needs it. Otherwise, just use some warm water. This allowed my skin the chance to return to normal, and it improved to a point now where it is as perfect as I could possibly have ever imagined. Ye don't need to 'massage' cleansers in 'circular motions' or any of that ****. I found that doing stuff like that was just making my skin raw and causing blemishes. Quick rinse with water, if your skin is oily rub a tiny bit of soap onto yours hands and use it so gently that only the very top layer of oil is removed. Throw some water over yer face and go. 30 - 40 seconds tap to towel is all that's needed. I also don't dry my face with a towel because that just caused more problems. Again, I had pretty nasty skin and now it's pretty perfect. All I did was cut out all the modern 'skincare' crap and returned to some water and a tiny bit of soap when really needed.

I tried it didnt work went to a dermatologist and they told me acne has nothing to do with the food you eat, its all a myth! its related to your hormones and stress levels The best antibiotic i was on i think was called minocin. i went on ro-accitane twice it worked with side effects but always came back. so didnt exactly "work" correctly. Minocin on the other hand cleared it up fairly quick and I never had a single side effect. Unfortunately it has come back a little bit but not as bad as it use to be
