Im on 40mg of accutane a day (isotretinoin). This has been my third week. First Two weeks relatively little happened.

At the start of last week I started to notice dry lips. They are not chapped yet but they are definetly a little dryer.

My skin is pretty dry. I put lotion on in the morning when I get up and by 8:30 am I got the flakies on my chin. I basically keep it moisturized throughout the day.

ACNE (which is supposed to worsen at first) has gotten a little worse. I am still relatively acne free but the acne I do get (a couple on face but more on back and shoulders) is similiar to the acne I get while on a good cycle. Its actually pretty similiar to a cycle maybe a little less acne than a AS cycle.

Thats it let me know if any of you care about this, so I know whether to post an update in a couple weeks.

Simple really, maybe a bit extreme, I get some milde to medium acne coming off of and during cycles and they seem to be getting worse. I want to stomp out the acne for a couple years as I plan to be cycling for the next few years. I understand your question because some of my buddies, that have worse skin, ask me why I am going to do it. My answer is to look the best I can after the completion of a cycle, because thats when I am out in the public (Im a young buck and enjoy young tight ladies.)
