wow! This is quite interesting.
here's a few things for treating rosacea at home
Consider adjusting your Diet
You could also take different Natural supplements, herbs, and vitamins
Also the use of anti-oxidants and natural anti-inflammatory supplements could be of benefit.
(I learned these and why they work on Natural Remedy Blueprint website )

You’re boyfriend is so adorable
thanks! I think so too! so I married him :')) ;)
your*
Agreed
@@vampsera hahaha I knew the grammar police would catch this one 👮♀️
Uhm I’m just impressed by the gentleman, the fine young man that’s adoring you in the background. I’m no longer here for the pimples lmfao
I have had acne since I was 10 years old. Now I'm 20, and my skin is much ok. I have used many soaps, creams and antibiotics, but did not see any improvements. Recently, I just started to implement this ( *AcneCureOnline. Com* ). Getting good results so far. I will continue with it, if it seems good further.?
I’m so glad I found this video. I have mild acne nothing severe at all if I cover it with makeup it looks flawless. But without makeup I’m super insecure about my pimples. I’m so excited to go on accutane in 2 weeks. Thanks for sharing!
update?? is ur skin better and side affects plsss
I was a non believer of this product. Once I was getting acne conditions, I decided to give this acne guide *AcneCureOnline. Com* a try. It worked for me. Within 1 week, I can notice the results. I now have a better and clearer face.
How’s ur acutane progress going?
Any updates? Did it work?
Guys who had mild acne, what’s your experience with acutaine? Cuz I only have problematic chin and jawline, thinking of how much time will I have to stay on the low to survive the initial purge stage and dryness
Thank you for sharing your story with us! I am getting ready to start on accutane and I am so incredibly nervous. This is making me feel so much better about my journey! I really needed some support and you have really provided that for me!
Best Accutane video that I’ve seen on UA-cam!
Aww the beginning, so cute!
love how well you explained everything.
all the best
just subbed x
Thank you for making this video (and the rest of your accutane series ) so I have a better idea of what to expect. My doctor just put me on accutane today to treat my mild acne but it is at a really low dose of 5mg so hopefully I can avoid any negative side effects. I love that you have such a positive vibe :)
Hey any updates? Pls reply
omg finally!!!! i have the same exact skin as you so i thought i was crazy when my derm put me on accutane. i take 60 mg a day and my lips are killing me lol. Im so glad to see a video on accutane with mild/ moderate acne w scarring thank u so much!!!
I start accutane this week! This video put my mind at ease. Thank you
HopeZamora how did it go? I’m taking Accutane now
Great video! Not only was it informative but your video was good too!
youre so sweet, thank you for watching and commenting, it means so much!
This video is very useful, and you and the editing is funny and eloquent, in the good way! Thanks for giving us your insight :)
These videos are so helpful! I'm starting accutane tomorrow. I purchased Vitamin E oil today ! Thanks for the help.
Any updates?
What a queen thank you for sharing your experience
I’m so glad you made this video! I’m starting it soon and my acne is mild too!
Any updates?
Thank you so much for posting your journey. At first I was against Accutane. Then, I dove into UA-cam and I found your videos. I decided to give it a chance and your videos helped make that decision.. AND helped me prep myself with the right products and habits. Thanks Anna!
did you experience hair loss?
Would literally kill for the skin you had at the beginning of ur vid
I hope things get better soon
Praying for u Jamie!!!!!
Im also on accutane ima black 19yr old male and i go to school on my bicycle this really makes u uncumfortable, oh and i am in the sun for like 35min everyday in total
My face sometimes get white ashy stuff on it only at school 🤔
Srry if u didint want to see this lol
@@ClavinZKL try wearing a cap it might reduce the sun exposure also a big sunglasses a mask try covering your face as much as u can that might help
CLAVIN ZKL use moisturizer with spf. Watch reviews on other black ppl to make sure it doesn’t leave a white cast or make you break out! And a hat sounds like a good idea haha goodluck
Your boy is right, even with pimples you looked gorgeous.
"I only watch my hair once a week" thats one of my goals in life ;)
Please keep uploading!
mikaila r you’re so nice! I’m excited to keep updating on this very dry journey 😂😅
I’m definitely late to the party here lol but I just gotta say this was such a helpful video for me because my skin looks so similar to yours and I’ve been wanting to get on accutane for months and I finally have an appointment to get on accutane this afternoon and this made me feel more comfortable and ready to begin the process, thank you for sharing your journey and making me feel safe here:)
How did it go?
I am starting Accutane this week and honestly I am a little nervous about the side effects, but this video was so calming? Something about your personality is super relaxing lol, I immediately subscribed
that makes me so so happy! thank you!
Hi, may I know how's your progress..? Did your acne worsen when you first started..? I know there's a purge before your skin gets better..
Cherie Sim it will get worse before it gets better. BUT usually around 7-10 days after starting, it will improve
Anna Klabacka want to ask smthng...i m frm pakistn
Any update?
I'm on week 3 of accutane AND I FEEL YOU. No one said ANYTHING about dry scalp I've never had dandruff or a terribly itchy scalp but I have had to go to the nurse twice in class for a bleeding scalp that I've scratched to much😂 why did no one tell me!!!
omg your skin is so good
Love the pill organizer idea
Stephanie Gonzalez thanks! #lifesaver 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Yeah I have basically the same amount of acne but it's worse cuz I'm a guy and dont wear makeup lol. Been thinking about accutane and this really helps thank you 🙏
I can relate so much to the hair washing!
I used to have to wash my hair everyday because it would be so greasy by the end of the day , now my hair doesn’t get greasy even after a week!!!
Another good option for dry skin/lips is Bag Balm! It’s typically used for cow udders (super weird I know) but trust me it works. Obviously cow udders get really dry from being outside all the time especially during the winter and so Bag Balm really helps and it works super fast. I highly recommend (plus it comes in a huge tin that’ll last for year and it cost me like $10)
For your dry scalp , the night before washing you hair you can oil it by using amla oil, argan oil, moroccan oil, almond oil, neem oil or coconut oil , just sleep with it over night and wash it off in the morning, do it every 2 weeks,hope this helped ❤️!
I have an appointment today to start my accutane journey. Watching this before I go...I think I'm gonna go for the products you use. Hopefully they work as good as it did for you! 😨😨😭😭 I'm so nervous.
Honestly thank God I found your channel my chapped lips are killing me they are cracked and CONSTANTLY bleeding. I'm gonna try the cream
Hi :) really enjoyed this video! Question- which high-fat foods do you usually eat when you take your accutane?
I start in 26 days. Im nervous because I have ptsd, and my hair and body skin is already dry. Ive heard aquafor is a life saver, drinking a lot of water, and spf 50 for sure.
UPDATE: I have to wait to start because I have some surgery coing up (potential keloid scars) So surgery first, then accutane. Im using Jan Marini again in the meantime. That was the only line that ever gave me clear skin. BP and SA/GA arent doing it. Also, started shaving my face. MAJOR difference!
What a QT3.14
In all seriousness, thank you for doing this blog and sharing your journey. It's been super helpful. I'm on day 8 and I've already noticed really itchy skin on my scalp. It's super uncomfortable and I'm nervous about grossing out my hairdresser from the flakes. I've also noticed that I've been getting super agitated and moody.
Also, the initial "flair up" is no joke. I genuinely thought it was a myth that wouldn't happen to me, but nope, after four days my face looked worse than it EVER did. I got whiteheads in areas I never even had them before.
Just a tip too, remember to take it with fat, which helps the pills absorb up to 2x better. According to studies, you're essentially wasting them if you take them while fasting. You have to take them with a high calorie meal.
What FAT means like e piece of meat with potatoes right?
you’re SO pretty wow
i was recently prescribed and i’m starting accutane in 3 weeks or so :) my acne problem started about 2 years ago and i’ve been through 7 or so topical treatments and recently have been on a progestin pill to start the accutane process + clear up my skin. please keep us posted because it would be great to watch someone else’s journey while going through mine❤️❤️
We have the same history
did you purge? Im nervous about the purging stage.
Hey any update?
@@maryjanehatchett4654did I purge? Lol asking 4 years later but still
*touches her acne alot*
me:nooo please stop touching...my little heart💔😂
this is so great! thanks very much
thanks for the advice, I'm about to start my accutane journey. Kinda nervous because I'm an athlete. Probably going to make a video of the transformation!!!
did you experience hair loss?
I’m starting next month, my acne is very similar to yours so I’m
Excited!
Kendal Clouse good luck I started yesterday. I have about the same as her. They started me on 30mg once a day.
@@brandygress1004 did you experience hair loss?
did you experience hair loss?
I came here when I started my accutane journey. I took it 2 years ago, went on it for 7 months. From month 3 my skin cleared.
My skin is still clear, I only sometimes very rarely when I use a heavy moisturizer I get a tiny red pimples. It disappears the next day with no trace.
I didn’t suffer from the dryness too much.
Here’s what I used:
1. Cerave Hydrating facial cleanser or Cetaphil gentle wash.
2. Face and under eyes scent free moisturizer: bepanthen cream.
3. Eyes: Hyaline eye drops.
4. Lips: Uriage Bariéderm Lip Balm. Never experienced lip dryness at all!!!
5. Body moisturizer: Cerave moisturizing cream or Cetaphil rich cream.
6. Sunscreen: don’t forget sunscreen!!!!
Scented products are not good, stay away from them. Ever since being done with my accutane journey, I’ve been doing the same thing. But I added Tretinoin before bed.
Thank you 🙏
Thnks a lot iam gona start the isotretinoin course wish me good luck
@@kalyanisahoo9063 it’s gonna go well. Good luck!!
did you experience hair loss?
Thank you so much
I started on accutane yesterday after being on various other treatments for the past few years. I also have mild acne, mainly in my t-zone. Although it has never been cystic, it’s been sore, persistent and has made me insecure. I was initially put on duac at 14, my skin was crystal clear however I then became resistant to it. At 15 I was put on tetralysal and differin whic once again worked amazing until I became resistant. And I am now 17 and I’m on day 2 of roaccutane, I was prescribed 30mg of roaccutane that will gradually increase. I’m just praying that my acne doesn’t come back and that roaccutane works. Thanks so much for making this video, it’s really insightful for people just starting on roaccutane (accutane). ❤️
Did it work
Did your acne stay away
PLEASE use your oil as the last step in your skincare routine to lock in all the moisture. so many people use oils before moisturizers but the oil actually stops the moisturizer from penetrating into your skin due to it's thicker molecular size!
…This isn’t true. I know because oils, an emollient, will never be an occlusive, the thing that seals in all the moisture. You need an occlusive at the last step, something with petroleum or Shea butter type of ingredients, not oils. Use Pubmed to look up medical research to see what I’m saying for yourselves.
Lanolin is very hydrating in general, and very good for your skin
You literally saved my lips with that cream🤣❤️ love this!!
Thank you so much for this!! i just started my accutane acouple days ago and needed more information i wasn’t getting from other videos and yours hit the spot!
Your acne come back after accurate plz reply
@@blackqueen6743 for me it didn’t. i’ve been off of it for 10 months now. i get little spots here and there once in a blue moon and they just go away within acouple hours or the next day.
did you experience hair loss?
@@nishithareddy8742 no
@@nishithareddy8742 and if i did it was very memorable
Awesome video! Can’t wait for the next update 😊 my doctor suggested going on Accutane, I have my dermatologist appointment in a month, getting my research in!
Sarah Young thank you so much!! That’s so great that you’re doing research, there are a lot of things to consider when deciding on starting accutane. I hope this video was helpful for you! :) something you may want to do is go in to your derm now to take a pregnancy test (urine sample); you can’t start accutane until you have 2 negative tests that are 1 month apart, so the sooner you take your first test, the sooner you can start treatment! :)
Me too!
im going to start a small dose of accutane soon and Im very nervous, but you made me feel a little better hahaha.
any updates?
I was on accutane for 4months and I pretty much get no more acne anymore but my skin gets so red easily and I sweat like a pig any time I get just a little nervous or do any sort of physical activity but I guess its still better than having acne. Its been almost 2 months since last dose.
Blasto Manto that’s not better than having acne
The drug has a half life it should be out of your system by now. Is it better?
I had the same symptoms after but it goes away after a year or so.
did you experience hair loss?
If your doctor had started you on 10mg a day, then increased it gradually to 40mg, your side effects would not have been so severe. Your acne on day 1 didn’t look very bad at all; even on 10 mg a day you would have seen improvement.
Me waiting for my Accutane and really enjoying this vid lol
Did your dermatologist recommend the vitamin e oil? Great tips by the way:)
Hi Anna, I've never thought that I would message or comment on any UA-cam's video, ever, but you just made me sit down on my computer and write this. I have watched all your Accutane related videos over and over again, all of them. :D I even listen to it on my way driving to work lol. I'll be getting my accutane in a month and so excited to take them. Your videos just help me so much and nourish my mind with all the positive thoughts. You're are such a lovely person and your voice sounds so soothing (not related but yeah it is) haha. I'd love to be friend!!! Maybe I'll blog my accutane journey, too in hope of it might help with someone like me watching your videos and tips. By the way. I'll be getting the nipple cream for shoooo!! Love
You’re tooooo nice! Thank you so much! I hope everything goes well for you with accutane!! ❤️ totally document it!
Anna Klabacka thank you sweetie!!
I'm starting accutane today and I'm super nervous! Mostly for the initial break out that I've heard about, because I really don't want to get more cysts.
Colleen Johnston I’ve been on acne nearly a month. My acne is mild-severe mostly on forehead and chin. On about week 2 my chin had flared up massively but after a couple days it cleared up. Worst thing is chapped / lips , tight eyes , muscle pain. My skin is dry which is unusual for acne making my skin more dry but not much.
Adrian Yates how are you doing now?
Colleen Johnston hows it going?
Where can I get this
Lena Benji talk to your dermatologist
Aww the begging of the video 🥺😭 He’s righhhttt!
AVACADO oil for dry skin scalp and lips SERIOUSLY helps my sensative dry flakey skin!
Thank you so much for this video!!! I’m going on accutane for my hyperpigmentation too!!!!!! And I thought the same thing like I was so scared cuz I thought accutane was only for severe acne!!!!
Progress ?
Did it cleared your hyperpigmentation...pls tell me
I have been thinking about trying accutane because nothing else works! I’m super excited to follow your accutane journey!! Subscribed!!
You are so nice!! Thank you and good luck on your decision!!
Don't take it you may experience a lot of serious side effects like a lot ,don't let this success stories get into you most of the people who has serious side effects don't usually upload there stories like hey guys see my hair is shedding so not cool,hair shedding ,ibd major side effects among others pls don't take this poison there are many other good medicine ask your dermatologist to suggest something else other than this poison
Pushpa I’m sorry, it sounds like you or someone close to you had a bad experience! I agree there can be a lot of scary side effects, so the point of me making these videos is to be realistic and honest about mine. I started the series before I knew what my side effects were and I would have uploaded the videos either way because I’m doing it to help people, not brag about my lack of hair loss.
I just started accutane today. Thank you for posting this ❤️
Same today is day 1 of my accutane journey!!
did you experience hair loss?
I’ve been suffering from mild stubborn acne for like 3 years. I’ve never really cared, but I’ve reached the point where I need to do something about it last year. I’m ashamed to say that I’ve spent over $3k in past two years trying to clear my skin by going to some derms and doing expensive treatments, but now I just said that I want a good derm and see what happens. So I made the investment to go to my new dermatologist in Beverly Hills and she’s been amazing! Granted I’ve spent a lot more money, but I feel like she truly cares about my skin. I’m also on 40mg/day, so let’s see!!! And not trying to say that you need an expensive derm. Just make sure they care about your skin! Lol
How was your experience? Was there a purge stage at the beggining? Cuz I also have mild acne but wanna get rid of it
@@Jaa_morant honestly it was the best decision ever! My face is completely clear and has been clear now for over a year. I’ll get an occasional breakout but it does away within 1-2 days. There wasn’t really a purge phase for me. It depends on everyone. I had a time where I was breakout out a bit more but it was just my skin getting used to the pill so it lasted a few weeks but well worth it tbh.
@@Alex-AJ1105 great! I guess I have a nice change or healing as well then! Don’t want my skin condition to define my mood or plans for the day anymore! Glad I’ve cleared up! We’re there any headaches in the beggining?
You should marry this man, i wish i had a man like this in my life.. 🥺
He wifed me 3 years ago💍🥰
@@annavorkink4047 thats so good ,wish u guys a lovely and wonderful life

So adorbs
you are so cute! thank you for this
Did your skin get really really red? My cheeks are constantly red and hot 24/7. It’s my 2nd week on it.
I start today! Nervous but excited to get my skin cleared up :)
Can you please update us on your experience so far?
did you experience hair loss?
This video made me cry because I know my acne isn’t as bad as others have it. I have it worse than you but much less than others. I’ve always suffered with mild acne but as of the past 3 months it has gotten so bad and I don’t understand why. I am super self conscious now, don’t even want to leave the house. I cry to my boyfriend that I feel ugly but just like your boyfriend he tells me I’m still beautiful :’) have my derm appt in about a month and I so want my doctor to just prescribe me accutane. I’m just so fed up with my skin at this point!!!
Whats your dosage and weight ?
Check your hormone levels and check if you have PCOS
Thank goodness I found you lol. We have similar acne and I’ve had I since I was about 13. I’m now 28. It comes and goes in waves but I’ve never really considered Accutane. I made an appointment to see about Accutane and am now hopeful the dr won’t turn me away LOL
I’m so sorry to hear that! That’s brutal! I’m glad you’re going in to a derm, it was the best decision I’ve ever made ❤️
I’m 22 and the same ... getting next week so excited
Here another one, since 13yo to 20yo normal acne, then at 21 steroid cream acne till now 27yo. Am a man, but is like half of my life with different levels of acne drive me crazy (Mild acne now). My derma gave me the option of 20mg accutane or finasteride.
i’ve been on accutane for a week and have yet to feel any side affects but it has affected my mood and happiness
If it has affected you in a bad way, get that checked out right away.
This is what my skin looks like AFTER accutane lol and I’m sooo happy ♥️♥️
Does acne comes back after accutane?
@@atiyaishaq1469 there’s about a 80% chance of it not coming back.
@@ice-mm6em i have completed my course of accutane last year. Its been almost 10 months im clear from nasty cysts. But my dr prescribed me tretinoin to prevent future acne.
@@atiyaishaq1469 did you experience hair loss?
@@nishithareddy8742 3 years ago i completed accutane course. But unfortunately acne bounce back with bang on my face. Im facing dry brittle hair fall problem. More than that my knees hurts after taking this medication. I'll NOT RECOMMEND this.
your so beautiful omg
In two days I have my appointment! IM SO EXCITE
how did it go?
I'm on accutane and to deal with the dry scalp I switched to just rinsing my hair and using conditioner when my hair gets gross
did you experience hair loss?
I finish my first month in 4 days and my dermatologist upped my dosage to 80 mg for next month. I did Accutane 2 years ago and was on 30 mg so I'm hopeful that I won't suffer too many side effects this time around. Definitely experiencing the dryness and muscle pains. Looking forward to seeing the results.
did you experience hair loss?
I just hope it won’t purge for more like first 2 weeks…
Glad I’m not the only one who got dandruff lol. I’m gonna have to stay away from dark tops for the next few months
#prayers for you girl lol it was the WORST!
Great video
You r adorableee😭😘🤩🤩
I agree!!!!!! My scalp go SO ITCHY AND DRY
Thank you so much. I just started yesterday and wowzerssss I woke up with a dry throat and I’m only taking clavarís 30mg because my insurance didn’t cover 60mg...
It’s intense!!
I have mild acne and I started isotretinoin 3days ago! so excited! I've had acne for 7 years I'm soooo tired of it,! I'm going with a very low dosage to try to avoid the side effects. I'm taking 10mg every two days
Hello. Can can i ask whats your skin condition now?
Im taking isotritinoin for about a month now but only 10 mg per day.
@@couchpotatomakesart7307 Right now my skin is pretty clear, I do get the occasional pimple when I eat fast food but that's my fault. I'm pretty happy with the results but I still have acne scars right now and I'm Going to continue for 2 months more
fleur im almost a month on isotritinoin and my skin is getting clearer. Better days are coming to the both of us!
fleur i’m gona go on isotretinoin 10mg too as my acne is mild as well please tell your updates
🍒I'm going to start my accutane dosage starting today. It is so painful that I have a hard time washing my face or sleep; I have a terrible oily skin. Seeing you guys sharing your skin condition is so much encouraging (: ...please keep updating here🍒
Going to start accurate soon too...Hope it will be fine...
im insecure about my acne i just would prefer seeing myself without acne but i’m scared of the side effects such as weight gain :/
Thanks for information....can you pls tell me dosage
im on day 10 rn and my scalp is already dry . Ive been scratching my head for like 2 days straight and it bothers me so much. I also take hot showers which I think does not help at all
update?
Make a second part !!! :)
uploading next week! :)
I'd say I have mild acne on my forehead, but IT WILL not budge. Have had it for 5 years, it's not as bad as it first was but it's just not changing in any way now. And the slightest touch to my forehead makes it go enitirely red. I hate it 😢
Alicia Maaa ahh I’m so sorry! Are you considering accutane as an option?
@@annavorkink4047 currently pregnant so not right now. But would love to try it in the future as acne has really taken over my life! People without it really don't understand how much it can effect a person. Would love to finally be free of it :)
Alicia Maaa its so true, it seriously took over my life during the times it was really bad!
@@aliciadonaldson5331 try niacinamide and salicylic acid from the ordinary. It helped to reduce my forehead acne :) there were tiny little bumps for a long time. Its my second week and i see drastic improvement
You are adorable. Those eyes
After we are off of the accutane treatment, our face return back to being as oily and greasy as the past ?
Wanted to try accutane and birth control pills but doc said no. Is it ok to have both at the same time?
do you recommend getting an extraction facial? is it necessary or not really? thank you!!!
your skin is really really sensitive while on accutane so i would hold off on any facials! I myself have never had one and probably wont ever :)
omg my scalp was killing me - so it wasn’t just me
u have a good podcast voice lol
i think thats the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me?! lolll thank you
Here to say make sure you always put oils on AFTER your moisturizer!!!!
It does not allow the moisturizer to go into your skin.
you are so lucky. im having mild acne but since i started accutane I had crazy breakouts (which worsen my skin) in the past 3 months but its better now after going into 4 months however i still get pimples sometimes :(
Did your acne clear eventually
did you experience hair loss?
so accutane got rid of your post acne pigmentation?? That's one of the main reasons I want to go on it (along with my mild acne as well) but my derm tells me that the accutane will not help my pigmentation? But I've seen so many videos of people where they're pigmentation went away after accutane
Yeah it helped indirectly for me!
Hi girl can you please answer me , do i need to Stop dairy and sugar when I'm on accutane and after accutane ? Sorry for my English 😂
thank you girl
I learned about the nipple cream for your lips in 2008. I use it sometimes but my mouth isn't usually dry.
Would you ever do extractions during ur breakouts??
