Accutane-a prescription acne treatment update and review

I wanted to give you all an update on my experience with Accutane.  I am now finished with the 5 month treatment.  I have been done with the medication for about 1.5 months.

All of the dry skin/lip/eye issues have completely gone away.  I have been using facial moisturizers for normal to dry skin and they have been working wonderfully.  I did get a lot of nose bleeds during my use of this medication (at least once daily).  This has gone away as well.

I still have not used any kind of acne prone facial cleansers/lotions/treatments.  Amazingly I now have clear amazing skin.

I have not experienced any breakouts anywhere on my body.  I used to get them on my back/chest/neck/face.  I have not had a pimple in months (not even hormonal breakouts yet.)

I do not notice any oiliness like I used to get in the T-zone area of my face.

I was and still am very sensitive to the sun.  I use 50+SPF and still get sunburned when out in the sun for 30 minutes at a time.  I have to reapply frequently.  I am hoping and have been reassured by my doctor that this will subside.

So far I am so happy with the results.  It was a tedious process.  It was costly and time consuming but it was well worth it all.  I could not be happier with the results.  I am never self conscious about my acne issues anymore because I don't have any!  If you were thinking of trying this and have the means to do so I highly recommend it!!!!!!!



If you didn't see my original post on the medication and are interested check out the link below.  I explain what the medication is and how the entire process works.

See By Chloe




Let me just start by saying that this perfume is amazing!  I has quickly become one of my favorite scents.  I would like to give you a background of the fragrances I usually like.  I normally like very sweet or musky scents.  I get headaches very easily when fragrances are too floral.  This seems to be a perfect in-between scent for me.  It smells floral but also fruity to me.  I love the way it smells straight out of the bottle and they way it smells when it has been on my skin for a while.  I think it has a good lasting power.  When I apply it in the morning I still get subtle hints of it in the afternoon.  I would reapply after that. 
Perfumes smell different on different people but I'm loving this one so far.

Notes:Jasmine, Ylang Ylang, Vanilla, Musk.

Here is where you can buy it from Sephora like I did:
