I’m so glad you made this video because it’s it’s tiring to hear people who always have had clear skin tell you how to fix your acne. I know they don’t understand but it sucks when they say they’re “breaking out super bad” with a single pimple. This video genuinely shows the process to treating acne, thank you!
@@chelgania finally found someone in the philippines talk about skin picking, thank you for reassuring me. Picking my skin also affects me a lot both mentally and physically and after picking i always feel guilty that "what if the scars don't go away? why did i even pick in the first place?" and seeing that you yourself have been there before and have recovered, gave me hope. Salamat ate, depressed teen trying to get by lang hahaha. HAHAHAHAHA di ko pa pala to magagawa, wala talaga budget i really wanted to try this kasi sobrang baba na ng self esteem ko dahil sa acne scars ko rin. Still, thanks for making this video! I hope i can try this routine in the future (long way to go).
Lol! This is sooo true. I've had many friends with very clear skin all they get is small acne and they say i can't go out looking like this. I look so ugly or bad... Me who has cystic acne from highschool feels inside, so you're indirectly calling me ugly also you don't even know how it feels to have actual acne. (sometimes wanna say wish if you could seriously experience even a single real pimple)
watching acne-filled to healed skin journey videos always bring me to tears. i have been there and i know how painful it is to go through this. I am so so so so happy for you i really am.
@@kindabored9423Not really. Acne is multifactorial. There are some remedies which are very costly. Even just going to a reputable board certified dermatologist costs a lot.
Romans 8:38-39 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm-neither hot nor cold-I am about to spit you out of my mouth. You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see. (Revelation 3:15-18) you cannot live for this world and not try to stop sinning (being cold) and only believing in God(hot) without turning from sin or sinning and saying God will forgive you after or not read the Bible, pray, worship/obeying God. Which is being a lukewarm. If we are neither cold or hot, God will spit us out his mouth. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 Proverbs 11:2 “When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. ” Proverbs 16:5 “The LORD detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished. Proverbs 16:18 “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before before a fall. Genesis 1:26-27 - “Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. Jesus is coming back soon!! Repent and believe!! Jesus loves you and wants a relationship with you 🫶🏽 Plis read revelation 3:15-18 on google if you don’t have a Bible. (Exodus 20:7) You shall not invoke the name of the LORD, your God, in vain. Please don’t use Gods name in vain, it’s dangerous Has a nation ever changed its gods? (Yet they are not gods at all.) But my people have exchanged their glorious God for worthless idols. Jeremiah 2:11) having idols of any kind isn’t good 🙅♀️ Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods? Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The LORD. (Jeremiah 16:20) HAVING IDOLS IS A SIN JEREMIAH 16:20 , JEREMIAH 2:11 Revelation 3:15-18 explains that we can’t be cold and hot at the same time which is being a lukewarm. In other words, if we are hot, which is really repenting and turning from sin) if we are cold we just completely don’t really follow God. If we mix those together it makes a lukewarm which they will be spat out Gods mouth and won’t inherit the kingdom of heaven. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.John 3:16. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. John 15:13 Romans 8:38-39 .. John 3:16 .. Revelation 3:15-18 Corinthians 6:9.. John 15:13 Psalms 23:4 Psalms 23:4 || Yea, though I walk through The Valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; rod and thy staff they comfort me. Deuteronomy 31:8. The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Currently in my 2nd week of taking Isotretinoin, I also got prescribed 20mg/ day and that's based on our body weight, apparently. I suffer from closed comedones that spread from my forehead to my chin to my outer cheeks. I have a carb-filled, dairy-filled diet and a bad sleeping schedule but I swear my acne never got this bad till I entered my 20s. Before that I was on 2 separate rounds of antibiotics. Hoping to see results and good luck to all my pretty girlies who are struggling with acne. It will be over soon!
my derma suggested me to take isotretinoin na after a month of taking doxycycline kaso it’s quite expensive huhu i already spent 9.5k for the skincare products alone that my derma prescribed.
@@sophiapatikowski8641 Isotretnoin is probably the only drug that works in a miraculous manner when it comes to severe acne. The process will most definitely work, no doubt about it.
Ive been crying every night since when my chinese client thought that i have a monkey pox disease in face. Because i have this big red pimples that has yellowish thingy in the middle. Imagine that my soul got crushed by the fact that I got embarrased in front of my co workers. I always look at the mirror and cry. Happy for you that youve been treated
Nakaka-inspired yung video niyo ma'am. I just hope na may pera rin ako to treat my acne. Kasi ang hirap na ang dami mong acne at gustong-gusto mo siyang i treat kaya lang wala kang budget. I agree na super nakakawala siya ng confident. May times pa nga na you can't even look at yourself in the mirror kasi sobrang nakaka-depress tingnan yung mukha mo at hindi kana mautusan kasi ayaw mo rin humarap sa ibang tao kasi feeling mo sa mukha mo sila nakatingin and feeling mo nandidiri or they are judging you. Kaya sana, to those who are suffering with acne wag tayong mawalan ng pag-asa. Kikinis tayo hindi man ngayon maybe someday kung kailan afford na natin bumili ng skin care and all.
Ang hirap talaga pag walang pera huhu, lalo na kse estudyante palang tayo nakakahiya humingi ng pera from our parents "just" to treat our pimple kase may mas malaking problema yung pamilya naten kesa sa pimple lang natin 😔
I applaud your bravery of sharing this sis. I too struggles with bad acne but not as bad as yours but it was still depressing. It took me years and years of research, trying out skincare products that work, experimenting with good supplements to help lessen the breakouts and also eating healthy and clean and of course exercise I just didn’t have the pictures when my acne was really bad because I was not confident taking pictures then. Keep on sharing your journey.
I first saw your reel on IG and I don't think I've ever related to or felt 100% trusted towards any transformation channel but this. I have Grade 3 acne and although it has reduced significantly over time, I'm still gonna try this for the hyperpigmentation and uneven surface.
I started to have breakouts when i was in highschool same journey as yours until now im still suffering for acne but its not worst naman pero sobrang nakaka down ng confident tlaga kht sbhn mong nd sya ganong kalala nakaka stress na makita yung mkha mo sa salamin na may mga pimples ka and ang rough ng face mo puro bukol bukol kaya super duper relate ako sayo sis thank you for making this vlog and sharing your acne journey it will help a lot to me.
2020 was also the year that my acne became unusual & worse. Since then, my self-esteem went downhill talaga. I never took pictures for months bc it was hideous. It was so bad that I was desperate na magpaconsult na sa derma but I dont have the budget since student pa ako. Until now, my acne is still bad but not as bad as 2020.
I have EXACTLY THE SAME looking acne with Rachel last 2021. My derma told me it’s because of hormones (us women) during our child-bearing age usually 20s. Our oil glands are going wild and it create acne such as those little bumps, cystic ones and fungal acne type. Usually the cure for this is isotretinoin and lifestyle changes. PCOS is on the rise nowadays so make sure exercise palagi then low carb no dairy.
I also took isotretinoin when i was 21 years old for 9 months in total and it was one of the top 5 decisions in my life! my acne wasn't cystic or anything like that but it was persistent and resistant to all other treatments, so after struggling with spots and blemishes since i was in junior high school, i was thrilled to see my skin improving so much! I will always be grateful with my dermatologist because he gave me back my confidence and now I love being without makeup because my skin is so clean and bright. Five years have passed since I took the treatment and it's the only thing that got rid of my acne for good! Also, my derma gave me a skincare routine that I follow to this day (it includes a vitamin c serum, a glycolic acid serum, a retinol cream, a cream that contains AHAs and BHAs, and of course a cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen). I'm so happy whenever I see people who struggled with acne like me take this medication and then see their results and see them so happy because it definitely changes lives! I'm happy for you and I can guarantee you that if you followed the treatment exactly as your derma said, you won't get your acne back! Thanks for sharing your journey with us, xoxo:)
I feel you so much, gurl. I used to have so much acne on my face too. Ilang taon din ang ginugol ko just to completely get rid of my pimples (6 years). Right now, hindi na ako nagkaka-acne break out. What got rid of my pimples are the acne skin care products of Human Nature - yung may tea tree na main ingredient and they are mild, no harmful chemicals. Dati hindi ko pa afford yung pa-derma & yung mga gamot na prescribed by a dermatologist so what I did before was I only used acne care products na afford ko bilihin like facial cleansers. I also altered my diet and food choices. In short, naghealthy-living. More veggies and consumption of fresh fruits weekly. Promise it's effective lalo na sa mga tight ang budget. Eat healthy and avoid oily foods like meat fats, mga mamantika na ulam (e-limit) then exercise. Sweat weekly like every weekend mag-jogging. This way, mas matipid (based on my experience lang po) I'm just sharing hoping na baka makatulong sa iba. You may check my human nature link. Pwede kayo jan mag-view ng products or mag order. Try nyo yung tea tree Gel. Thank me later. Yung profile ko jan it's cleared of pimples. I'm just so happy na at last hindi na ako tinutubuan ng acne. I'm gaining back my lost confidence sana kayo rin, sa mga nag-e-struggle pa sa ngayon. humanheartnature.com/buy/healtharmamentsph
when i was pregnant, i used to drink 3/4litr water daily n take nutritious food, fruits.. my face was full of bumps, minor acnes, acne marks before pregnancy.. all were gone.. really surprising i got a super glowing, fresh, smooth face like glass skin that time..since then i believe drinking water more helps a lot to get a healthy skin..
girl your skin looks PERFECT! i love the fact na you were open to share your acne struggle with us! thank you so much po ate for making this video, sobrang helpful and inspiring ito para sa mga tao struggling with acne
I decided to consult a derma last week, I cannot endure my face anymore. Watching your video provided hope for me and confidence in trusting the process. Thank you thank you so much!
@@ducktaglia1007 My derma said that I am a candidate for pimple surgery. She explained to me the procedure and it's purpose. A session costs 3k, included are 3 treatment methods. My derma said to undergo 3 sessions so that's 9k but they gave me a discount making it only 7k. Other than the surgery, medications and products such as toner, lotion, sunscreen were also prescribed with a total cost of 4-5k. In total I spent around 12k pesos. It's expensive I know, but I'm desperate T.T. Included na rin sa total yung fee for the consultation na 600 pesos.
@@ducktaglia1007 I'm a student too! I saved up money from my scholarship so that I can finally consult to a dermatologist. My greatest regret is not consulting earlier, my face got worse due to previous products I used. I'll update you on any progress on my acne journey if you want :). Remember that we are beautiful. Don't loose hope. Also wanna be friends in genshin? Hahaha
Estoy pasando por lo mismo, mi dermatólogo me recetó las mismas pastillas, recién voy por un mes asi que aún no veo mucho cambio pero este video me ha hecho feliz 😁
I love this video. Been struggling with esteem issues bc of acne for years. Although I'm confident with myself beyond my the barriers of my skin, it's still an issue sometimes. I hope my journey will eventually get better. P.s. I think I just found my new fave UA-camr ✨
hello ate, i know that u might not acknowledge my favor but still, i want to try my luck-can u please post a video while you're doing your skincare routine; both day & night. i just really want to know the amount of every product you're putting on your face and how to properly apply them on the skin. i can't deny how much i enjoyed watching how u finally achieve your goal skin, noona.
Every time I get sad about how my skin looks, I remember how far I’ve come and how much worse it used to be. Been dealing with acne since my teenage years. I’m 22 now and still dealing with hormonal acne. I started my Spironolactone journey 3 months ago and i hardly get cystic acne anymore. Right now, I’m struggling to get rid of acne scars. I’ve had 2 micro needling sessions. I haven’t seen a significant difference yet, but I’m getting there. My next one is gonna be with prp.
I used to have so much acne. What it made it so much worse was it was cystic!! The one that you can't just prick and it was too painful. I'm not sure how many bumps are there but it's one bump after another and it merges so it's really big to the point that it covered all my cheek area so you wouldn't see my skin anymore. I'm so glad I took Isotret. It was really life changing.
Same here, and everytime napuputok sila ng kusa yung mga areas na affected would really leave holes na malaki. I'm really worried by the way it looks, I feel like di na sila magiging ayos ulit, the holes are really something. By the way if it's fine to ask, how is your face's condition now after taking Isotret? For how many months mo sya ininom? I'm really hesitating to consult a derma, but I've been struggling with this acne problem for years now, like it started when I was in 8th grade and it kind of became fine when I entered 9th and 10th grade, but senior high years came, it became active again, then next the start of pandemic, which also happened lumala lalo acne ko up till now na college nako.
I've been struggling from acnes since highschool also, . I hope these products could help my skin , thank you for sharing . Acnes are really bad ,I lost my confidence and rarely going out cuz Im ashamed of what my face looks like
Ate Rachel, your videos are so timely talaga. I've been suffering from acne for almost 8 years na and my self-esteem went downhill. After ilang years of trying what works with my skin, I somehow managed to stop acne from growing continuously, so now what's left is the pimple marks, acne scars and a very very visible pores nalang. I hope those products would help me lighten and improve my face din:(( thank you so much for sharing your acne journey to us!!!
I am going to tell you something your doctor may not have -- Accutane works via the mechanism of damaging your body. It is not "IF" it damages you, it is more "when" or "how severely". You may be 100% ok WHILE TAKING the medication, but that doesn't mean it won't harm you. The serious damage (literally everything listed on the insert, and more) may begin to happen to you not while on the medication but months or even years after you stop taking it. The very mechanism of accutane is quite literally cell death (bodywide apoptosis). It is a chemotherapeutic drug. The cell death is not limited to sebaceous glands of the skin, but actually occurs everywhere, including stem cells which, once permanently damaged, do not replenish themselves - hence the permanent effects of acne clearance. This explains the "post-exposure delayed toxicity" that is seen with accutane and other chemotherapeutic drugs that also work through cytotoxic / stem-cell killing mechanisms. The permanent damage from this medication can happen after it is discontinued (months or years down the line) even without side effects or any warnings/abnormal blood results when you are taking it. Just be warned, this drug could seriously ruin your body (eyes, bones, joints, hair, teeth, spine, skin, brain, nerves, tendons, ligaments) for the rest of your life, and it can happen to you in the future, even if you're ok now....so once you've been exposed to this drug, you are never safe and you never know what will happen. This happened to me despite normal/mild side effects while taking the drug. The damage suddenly set in about 5 months after I stopped taking it. I took a 'low' dose, only 20mg/day. Everything was fine and dandy while I took the drug...I exercised, went to school, my blood labs were normal. Years later I still have such severe damage that I'm barely able to walk. In addition to bodywide apoptosis and stem cell death, accutane also creates permanent gene expression changes (in more than 500 genes), DNA oxidative damage, and direct oxidative damage to every tissue of your body. There are studies that prove that accutane causes downregulation (a change in genetic expression which decreases) of collagen (the literal framework/scaffolding of your body), elastin (keeps your skin resilient and stretchy), and hyaluronic acid (the "water-holding molecule" that keeps your skin and joints youthful) - all CRITICAL proteins in ALL connective tissues that keep you looking and feeling youthful. So, quite literally, this drug AGES you. Accutane also downregulates telomerase, a protein that repairs damaged/broken DNA and is associated with biological youth. Have you ever noticed that someone who took accutane looks "older" or "less youthful"? These are the reasons why. Doctors consistently try to deny the existence of delayed post-exposure effects (they say that effects only happen while on the drug, not weeks/months/years after stopping the drug) but this has similarly happened to countless others (thousands) as well and isn't rare. Taking accutane is certainly a choice, but most people are not fully aware of how awful it is to everyone who takes it and what kind of risks you are truly taking for your future health. Good luck, I hope it doesn't happen to you.
I used to have clear skin, now I'm breaking out everywhere, Maybe because of stress and anxiety, It made my self conscious And I've been crying because poeple think I have blisters in my face, I don't have money for consultation 😢
Came across your video. This is what happened to me during HS-College days. My acne flared up when I was 4th yr HS my mom brought me to a lot of doctors pero wala. Finally when I was in 1st year college we went to a derma in Makati. They prescribed me the same oral medication I was in medication for 6-9mos. For the first 2mos no changes pero after that you will see the changes and it will changed dramatically. Parang naka photoshop face ganon. Up until skin isn’t as bad as I was in college. I dont get big pimples/acne anymore. My skincare is not the same as yours but im thankful I came across that medication and gives me the boost of confidence and not think about when my acne will flare up. Oh Im also diagnosed with PCOS which gives my skin acne prone
Also went to derma last week. My acne was only mild to moderate, but it's persistent T_T. I don't have any kind of skincare at all din kaya siguro ganun. Super nakababa talaga ng confidence kasi sa entire block namin ako lang ang may maraming pimples. My derma prescribed me antibiotics and some skincare products. Hoping na mag-improve rin skin ko in the future.
Glad to see your healed skin ❤️ please don’t use spf stick for main application of the sunblock. Always use an spf lotion for main application. Use stick for reapplication. You look so beautiful 💗💗
Isotretinoin ruined my hair. I have oily skin and was suffering from acne during my teens and was prescribed this. It did reduce sebum production on my face but also stripped my hair of all the natural oils. This is a known side effect and my dermatologist should have discussed this. I had bad hairfall and dull/dry hair. Unfortunately, my hair never fully recovered. Maybe I was unlucky but I think its better to talk about all types of side effects before starting a drug.
Some dermatologist just won't tell about the side effects. Mine just told me like "Nah as long as you do not plan to get pregnant in this one year there is not problem at all, this is the only cure." But when i done my survey there are quite a lot of potential side effects. From the expected skin rashes due to dryness, liver issue, high cholesterol, some even experience depression. I also think it is very important to inform in advance and let the patient to decide whether to just live with acne or enjoy flawles skin with potential side effect. I have done the blood test, but i have decided to not continue with isotretinoin after my survey. I will work with changing lifestyle, skin care, keeping my hands off my face and perhaps i will just change my mindset, take things easy and live with acne.
@@Cpl_rhwo totally agreed with it, there is way too much that doctors never tell you. I suffered some inflammation of a nerve in my eye, since isotretinoin has a lot of toxicity in its formula, there are plenty side effects that even doctors cannot predict. I had to stop because the only thing I was taking at that time was isotretinoin and it could be the toxicity of the meds that made me that. Do it with consciousness and with a good doctor in charge!
I used Isotretinoin for a whole year when i was pretty young. After a year of treatment, my face was completely clean. BUT it only lasted two years, many things started happening that stressed me out until today. Because of that, recently my acne has returned, maybe not as strong as before but it is pretty noticeable, i'm having a meeting with my doc in a couple of weeks, so we'll see how it goes. The thing is, if you feel insecure about yourself and acne, please take it easy, even the strongest treatment can fail at some point and it isn't something you should feel bad for, just keep going at your own pace, look for doctors help if it seems necessary, you'll see the journey was worth it. (oh, and be pacient too!!)
Something really similar happened to me but I had to left Isotretinoin for a toxic reaction that I had, I got some kind of inflammation in a nerve in my eye and doctors couldn't assure if isotretinoin toxicity was the cause so I had to stop the meds. My skin was at the best moment so I didn´t doubt in stopping it, but after a year and a half I had a breakout due to hormonal adult acne at my 27 due to PCOs, I took the pill but I had several side effects like really bad migraines and depression, so I am trying a more natural approach by stop consuming dairy products, nothing fried, more Omega-3, truly a healthy lifestyle. Sometimes unfortunately is a never ending process but you´ll learn how to take care of your own skin! I just suggest of being aware of the side effects and always do it with a dermatologist in charge of the process. Good luck for all of you!
I started having breakouts last June 2020 after I noticed some pimples growing on my cheeks a month before it. I tried various products and skin care routine that I thought would lessen the breakout, but I was wrong. It worsened. I lost my confidence, I missed outings, I rarely go out, and thought about suicide. Right now, am visiting derma clinic and I can already trace some improvements. The regrets I have were using manyyyy skincare products that did not match my skin type and not going to the derma sooner.
@@reymart8243 hello po! I'll answer your question po, as far as I know depende po kung gaano kalala ung acne mo (mild, moderate, severe) yung akin po I can't say if mild sya or moderate basta nasa middle po sya ng mild and moderate, ang nagastos ko po ay 6k+ btw Im 14 y/o po, ang alam ko din po dinedepende po ng mga dermatologist sa age yung mga binibigay na gamot sa atin. Mayroon din po akong follow up consultations sa dermatologist ko. Maaari po na maiba din yung bibigay sa inyong gamot kapag kailangan pong may ibahin, so another gastos po sya ulit.
@@reymart8243 may mga free online consultations pero more on f2f na sila. meron din naman sa mga private hospital. natry ko sa SkinStation, around 800 consultation and nagprescibe lang ng meds. 🙂
You know that its fxkng fulfilling and such an achievement if you finally got that kind of flawless and vibrant face that you've been insecure for many many years. ✨ I know too that there are peeps who are contented enough but it hits differently when you have that worst acne phase on your life and you can't deal it confidently
When I was based in Dubai in my mid 20s I also had bad acne. My derma also put me on isotretinoin on/off for 6 months. I was on Curacne and Accutane and was also told that it’s a very strong medication. It’s bad for the liver so you can’t be on it for too long and you can’t get pregnant. Because there’s a high chance of having birth defects, miscarriages and so forth. So during that time I was on contraceptives without fail. Fast forward to 10 years and I’ve never had any acne problems since. But that treatment is esspensive. My 30 day tablet used be 300+ dirhams so that’s more less 5k pesos, and that was 10 years ago.
The thing is once someone gets cured of their acne and acne scars,they get this transformation and they become so beautiful. Even though they were beautiful before but when the acne left,they just glow on another level.
may free consultation naman online ang PDS, kahit taga luzon, visayas, mindanao pwede mag avail. through chat or tawag lang rin ang consultation tsaka mga board certified dermatologist rin sila
Kainggit mas grabe ung acne mo saken nung before ka maging clear skin pero ako eto pa den wala pag babago ayaw ko din ng mga procedures kasi I see a lot of feedbacks online na hindi naman talaga magandang result but if sinuggest na ng dermatologist wala ka na magagawa eh ung iba kasi business lang ayaw pinapagastos ka ng marami proud of you ate gumanda kapa lalo now
Isotretinoin really helped with my hormonal and cystic acne. Used to have huge and deep pimples on my nose esp when period comes then it spread on my cheek and jaw area but now it's gone. Still have pimples from time to time but it's just 1 or 2 and it's manageable. Changed my lifestyle while taking isotret bc it is really drying but it's worth it.
Ang hirap talaga pag andaming pimples di mawala wala, yun nlng nakikita nila sayo nakakababa ng self confidence. Luckily nawawala na acne ako, scars nlang.
i also struggle with severe acne. i cant keep my hands off my pimples no matter how many times my family tells me not to. it’s not that bad like it was in high school, but every couple of weeks i usually get acne that get really red and painful to touch. they usually leave tons of dark spots, and lately i’ve been feeling very insecure about it. before i go out, i try to apply some makeup to cover them up. i have been to the dermatologist, but i have never heard of isotretinion before. i will have to ask my dermatologist next time i see him. thank you for this video! it was very helpful :D
When I saw your acne journey and the result you accomplished, I got really emotional. You look so beautiful congratulations I'm very happy for you. I hope I will get the same point some day. I am trying very hard for it
I came here after watched your video on tiktok ate, i watched your video there's a biggest difference, thank you for sharing your experience atee ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Rachel thank you for sharing to us your acne journey & your skincare routine. Btw I use the ordinary serum super ganda niya sa skin as in. I suggest your next content, please post this as your content ( How do i edit my videos| step by step process + software that I use) I wanna know how you edit your vlogs and also how you edit your thumbnail so aesthetic 💗
Very timely na napanuod ko video mo today. I'm currently in my first week of taking Isotretinoin and hopefully my skin gets better since I have the same acne situation as yours. Thank you for sharing this! 😚💗
I'm really at the stage where I feel I don't want to be seen by anyone outside due to may pimples, acne, and scars. Sometimes I would look at the mirror and think why? why me? to have such acne despite having billions of people around the world and honestly at times, I just want to give up hoping that it will get better. My self-esteem right now is really going down really fast and I really hate it. Back then I was really confident about my looks where I sometimes notice people, glancing or staring at me with eyes getting a sparkle, but now, I feel really terrible because sometimes when I go outside, I just look down and feel depressed because they might notice how horrid my face is. Addition to that, I have someone I like that wants to really meet me where I overthink so much. What if she sees me and get disgusted? What if she gets turned off? What if she will think differently after that day and won't talk with me anymore? Those what if's makes me feel terrible inside, giving her expectations that seems quite blurry for me where disappoints are only present. But a sliver of hope through this video came to me. I hope this hope will get me to somewhere progressive in my self-esteem and thank you, videos like this seems small to others but for me who is experiencing such sorrows right now means everything.
Hello hahaha just wanna say I've lessen my acne breakouts, 2 months ago I was suffering from darkspots and acne too, I've used so many remedies but this was only that lessen my acne and darkspots, It's the sulfur soap and teranex soap, I alternate them, Also soul apothecary revive and some sunscreen it's affordable too, Just bought mine from drug stores lang
@@butcjesaaa143 hello may i know what your skin type is? what products did you use if you're still using it now and still effective? from ph >< i'm having a hard time to find products that will heal my years of acne. hope you would tell me thank u !
great video! this is first time i am watching you, i am not a native english speaker and your accent is very understandable i like it, i also read cc's i didnt understand that u r speaking a different language! are you from filipines i guess pesos is filipino money. i never heard filipino language before so its like mixing with english? in my language we have words from french and english but this sounds different to me! and your skin is so dewy and glowing lots of love 💕
Loved your progress, thanks for sharing ❤️ i’m about to start my treatment with isotretinoin and I’m really looking forward to. I’m going to take it for 9 months, I hope it’s enough to fade my scars as well, as I have deep ones in order to my cystic acne 😰
I searched you up on UA-cam right away after watching your vid on tiktok. My skin type is oily and prone to acne as well, but ang mas gusto kong ma fix ay itong visible pores ko. So, I am hoping that this vlog of yours would be the perfect sign for me because I've been trying a lot of products and it doesn't help me with my pores, just the acne which I'm thankful somehow.
Sooo happy for you! Your skin looks amazing. My story is similar to yours. I used an acne journal and it was so helpful with identifying my triggers. I bought it off amazon
I'm a highschool student who is very insecure because of my face right now. Our face to face class started and I literally didn't eat my snacks during breaktime because I'm too shy and scared because of what I look. I even tried to eat in restrooms para walang makakita. And I think, yung mga skin care products mo po is kinda expensive and I thought I can afford it but not... Manifesting for clear skin by this month!
Isotretinoin is the best product for acne. But chances of relapses is more than 60percent. And the relapses occur after around one and a half year. I am a doctor myself but have gone through terrible acne.
thank you for sharing Rachel! gives a bit of hope to me who's also struggling with acne although not too severe, but still makes me feel super conscious sometimes. I have a question tho, did you change your diet aside from changing your skin care routine? because being a working adult, most of the time is hard for me to have a proper, balanced and healthy meal 🥲. Love from Malaysia!
I love this video!! Such open and amazing advice and it’s so inspiring to see someone find their holy grail!! I HAVE ONE QUESTION THO: what does the glycolic acid contradict with in your PM ROUTINE??? 😬☺️
Same! I also used Beautederm for almost 2 years until hindi na siya nagwork for me. I’m glad I consulted a dermatologist na. My skin is now recovering 🥺💖
My husband has acne and acne scars as well. 5 yrs ago we discovered the Banish Kit 2.0. The Banisher and the Vit C Serum helps in fading his scars, treating his acne and making his skin more plump. 💯
ive suffered from acne for over 3 years now, spent sm on derma procedures, skincare products and all but nothing worked. my best advice is to directly consult a dermatologist. stop buying products bc it worked for other ppl or bc an influencer recommended it to you bc we all have different skin types. different things work for different people
i suggest po dr wongs lightening soap and lightening face cream jan nawala redness ko and mga pimple scrans and marks ko before and nag light skin ko effective yan
Sad that i finished my isotretinoin for almost a year but I’m breaking out again,,, TWICE. So tired and I feel like giving up. Love that it works out for u
Hey you're not alone I'm this! I finished mine and 18months later it came back.... A huge game changer for me was a differin gel, the bohemian gel cleanser and J's health probiotic moisturizer
Totally feel you!!! I was on isotretinoin for a year, my skin was soooo clear almost flawless and literally after stopping it, 3-4 months later I started breaking out again....and now it's still breaking out 😂
Just hang on , alright. Had an argument with my dermatologist last week and yesterday 😀 wondered why she refused to place me on isotretinoin but then she knows best plus I have allergies. Keep trying other products, that’s what I am doing because I read so much on people getting reoccurring acne even after isotretinoin. We would all be fine
You're so pretty sis! Thanks for sharing your journey. I'm suffering from acne, dark spots at the moment and you thoroughly inspire me. Sobra! Haha Happy you finally achieved your clear and healthy skin sis. Hopefully ako din soon! ❤
Omg!! I'm so glad that I find your video in time. My dermatologist also prescribe me Roaccutane (Isotretinoin) for 30 days. I'm having it for 25 days. I was about to stop taking it cause I find no result of it and I'm going to change my dermatologist. I also have severe muscle pain for some days. But I couldn’t find any cause about that.
@@nikkilucila5061 prescription medication from a derm like sprinolactone or other medication and also topical skincare will also be provided. Before taking spironolactone, it's important to discuss it with a derm
I was listening to the video and then I had to go back to listen again cuz I couldn't hear what she said then I realized she was speaking spanish hahahahahah
Niacinamide, alpha arbutin and sunscreen lang ginamit ko and dangg, yung parang mini na butas butas sa face ko dhl sa acne 😔 hnd na visible and promise ang ganda ng combination ng dlawng serum. Niacinamide am and pm, alpha pm lang para makatipid ang mahal kasi pero super worth it namn. So kaht gabi nag susuncreen ako yung belo na may niacinamde din. 10 mins interval time bago ko iapply ang nxt serum same sa sunscreen. Within 1 week and 3 days masasabi ko na agad ang improvment. Kaya kaht prcey kung worth go na. Kasi sa totoo lang ang dami ko na natry na akala ko mas makakatipid pero mas nagiging malala lang.

Thank you so much po ate!🫶🏻
@@lostmyway9468 yes none at all.. She asked me if i want naman but i declined and she suggested na mag topical treatment and skincare nalang if ganon

I’m so glad you made this video because it’s it’s tiring to hear people who always have had clear skin tell you how to fix your acne. I know they don’t understand but it sucks when they say they’re “breaking out super bad” with a single pimple. This video genuinely shows the process to treating acne, thank you!
AWW THANK YOU ALSO!
i totally agree it’s infuriating
@@chelgania finally found someone in the philippines talk about skin picking, thank you for reassuring me. Picking my skin also affects me a lot both mentally and physically and after picking i always feel guilty that "what if the scars don't go away? why did i even pick in the first place?" and seeing that you yourself have been there before and have recovered, gave me hope. Salamat ate, depressed teen trying to get by lang hahaha. HAHAHAHAHA di ko pa pala to magagawa, wala talaga budget i really wanted to try this kasi sobrang baba na ng self esteem ko dahil sa acne scars ko rin. Still, thanks for making this video! I hope i can try this routine in the future (long way to go).
Lol! This is sooo true. I've had many friends with very clear skin all they get is small acne and they say i can't go out looking like this. I look so ugly or bad... Me who has cystic acne from highschool feels inside, so you're indirectly calling me ugly also you don't even know how it feels to have actual acne. (sometimes wanna say wish if you could seriously experience even a single real pimple)
I hate people 😭😭
watching acne-filled to healed skin journey videos always bring me to tears. i have been there and i know how painful it is to go through this. I am so so so so happy for you i really am.
Yeah like you really appreciate it and feel most confident you ever felt unlike people who naturally have clear skin
Have you been able to cure it?
@@Lnyc14or the people who “naturally” have clear skin has always been using skin care that works for them that’s why they never had acne

To be honest, if We want our face to be clear skin there's one thing that We really need a "MONEY".
No dear, the most important thing is good habits, if u do a healthy life ur face will look healthy too
True
@@kindabored9423agree but even maintaining a healthy lifestyle costs so much money din :')
@@kindabored9423Not really. Acne is multifactorial. There are some remedies which are very costly. Even just going to a reputable board certified dermatologist costs a lot.
Romans 8:38-39 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm-neither hot nor cold-I am about to spit you out of my mouth. You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see. (Revelation 3:15-18) you cannot live for this world and not try to stop sinning (being cold) and only believing in God(hot) without turning from sin or sinning and saying God will forgive you after or not read the Bible, pray, worship/obeying God. Which is being a lukewarm. If we are neither cold or hot, God will spit us out his mouth.

Currently in my 2nd week of taking Isotretinoin, I also got prescribed 20mg/ day and that's based on our body weight, apparently. I suffer from closed comedones that spread from my forehead to my chin to my outer cheeks. I have a carb-filled, dairy-filled diet and a bad sleeping schedule but I swear my acne never got this bad till I entered my 20s. Before that I was on 2 separate rounds of antibiotics. Hoping to see results and good luck to all my pretty girlies who are struggling with acne. It will be over soon!
YOU CAN DO IT! BTW, IM SOO PROUD OF U! :') TRUST THE PROCESS BABE
Trust the process dear❤❤❤
my derma suggested me to take isotretinoin na after a month of taking doxycycline kaso it’s quite expensive huhu i already spent 9.5k for the skincare products alone that my derma prescribed.
im on my second month and i just started the 20mg. im praying to god it works.
@@sophiapatikowski8641 Isotretnoin is probably the only drug that works in a miraculous manner when it comes to severe acne. The process will most definitely work, no doubt about it.
(9:16) Is where the skincare routine starts for anyone needing it
Thanks my saviour😅
Omg tq
Thanks 😂😂
Thank you ever so much!!
Thankyou so much😅🥲
girl this is not a skincare routine, this is a film festival winning cinematic masterpiece
Ive been crying every night since when my chinese client thought that i have a monkey pox disease in face. Because i have this big red pimples that has yellowish thingy in the middle. Imagine that my soul got crushed by the fact that I got embarrased in front of my co workers. I always look at the mirror and cry. Happy for you that youve been treated
I started drinking green tea in the morning and mint tea in the evening and I didn't get any new breakouts.
I feel like you'd like hydrocolloid pimple patches, got mine from watsons. It got rid of the yellow pus from my pimples.
Nakaka-inspired yung video niyo ma'am. I just hope na may pera rin ako to treat my acne. Kasi ang hirap na ang dami mong acne at gustong-gusto mo siyang i treat kaya lang wala kang budget. I agree na super nakakawala siya ng confident. May times pa nga na you can't even look at yourself in the mirror kasi sobrang nakaka-depress tingnan yung mukha mo at hindi kana mautusan kasi ayaw mo rin humarap sa ibang tao kasi feeling mo sa mukha mo sila nakatingin and feeling mo nandidiri or they are judging you. Kaya sana, to those who are suffering with acne wag tayong mawalan ng pag-asa. Kikinis tayo hindi man ngayon maybe someday kung kailan afford na natin bumili ng skin care and all.
yes! mine also took ilang years so i could teeat it im turning 26 na
Ang hirap talaga pag walang pera huhu, lalo na kse estudyante palang tayo nakakahiya humingi ng pera from our parents "just" to treat our pimple kase may mas malaking problema yung pamilya naten kesa sa pimple lang natin 😔
Same feeling
I applaud your bravery of sharing this sis. I too struggles with bad acne but not as bad as yours but it was still depressing. It took me years and years of research, trying out skincare products that work, experimenting with good supplements to help lessen the breakouts and also eating healthy and clean and of course exercise I just didn’t have the pictures when my acne was really bad because I was not confident taking pictures then. Keep on sharing your journey.
I first saw your reel on IG and I don't think I've ever related to or felt 100% trusted towards any transformation channel but this. I have Grade 3 acne and although it has reduced significantly over time, I'm still gonna try this for the hyperpigmentation and uneven surface.
I started to have breakouts when i was in highschool same journey as yours until now im still suffering for acne but its not worst naman pero sobrang nakaka down ng confident tlaga kht sbhn mong nd sya ganong kalala nakaka stress na makita yung mkha mo sa salamin na may mga pimples ka and ang rough ng face mo puro bukol bukol kaya super duper relate ako sayo sis thank you for making this vlog and sharing your acne journey it will help a lot to me.
2020 was also the year that my acne became unusual & worse. Since then, my self-esteem went downhill talaga. I never took pictures for months bc it was hideous. It was so bad that I was desperate na magpaconsult na sa derma but I dont have the budget since student pa ako. Until now, my acne is still bad but not as bad as 2020.
omg sameeee❤😭
there's a free consultation po you can check jan angelo vlog about this, sa skincare or meds lang gagastos☹️😁

Thank for share Your skincare routine 🌟👍
I have EXACTLY THE SAME looking acne with Rachel last 2021. My derma told me it’s because of hormones (us women) during our child-bearing age usually 20s. Our oil glands are going wild and it create acne such as those little bumps, cystic ones and fungal acne type. Usually the cure for this is isotretinoin and lifestyle changes. PCOS is on the rise nowadays so make sure exercise palagi then low carb no dairy.
I also took isotretinoin when i was 21 years old for 9 months in total and it was one of the top 5 decisions in my life! my acne wasn't cystic or anything like that but it was persistent and resistant to all other treatments, so after struggling with spots and blemishes since i was in junior high school, i was thrilled to see my skin improving so much! I will always be grateful with my dermatologist because he gave me back my confidence and now I love being without makeup because my skin is so clean and bright. Five years have passed since I took the treatment and it's the only thing that got rid of my acne for good! Also, my derma gave me a skincare routine that I follow to this day (it includes a vitamin c serum, a glycolic acid serum, a retinol cream, a cream that contains AHAs and BHAs, and of course a cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen). I'm so happy whenever I see people who struggled with acne like me take this medication and then see their results and see them so happy because it definitely changes lives! I'm happy for you and I can guarantee you that if you followed the treatment exactly as your derma said, you won't get your acne back! Thanks for sharing your journey with us, xoxo:)
I feel you so much, gurl. I used to have so much acne on my face too. Ilang taon din ang ginugol ko just to completely get rid of my pimples (6 years). Right now, hindi na ako nagkaka-acne break out. What got rid of my pimples are the acne skin care products of Human Nature - yung may tea tree na main ingredient and they are mild, no harmful chemicals. Dati hindi ko pa afford yung pa-derma & yung mga gamot na prescribed by a dermatologist so what I did before was I only used acne care products na afford ko bilihin like facial cleansers. I also altered my diet and food choices. In short, naghealthy-living. More veggies and consumption of fresh fruits weekly. Promise it's effective lalo na sa mga tight ang budget. Eat healthy and avoid oily foods like meat fats, mga mamantika na ulam (e-limit) then exercise. Sweat weekly like every weekend mag-jogging. This way, mas matipid (based on my experience lang po) I'm just sharing hoping na baka makatulong sa iba.
You may check my human nature link. Pwede kayo jan mag-view ng products or mag order. Try nyo yung tea tree Gel. Thank me later. Yung profile ko jan it's cleared of pimples. I'm just so happy na at last hindi na ako tinutubuan ng acne. I'm gaining back my lost confidence sana kayo rin, sa mga nag-e-struggle pa sa ngayon.

when i was pregnant, i used to drink 3/4litr water daily n take nutritious food, fruits.. my face was full of bumps, minor acnes, acne marks before pregnancy.. all were gone.. really surprising i got a super glowing, fresh, smooth face like glass skin that time..since then i believe drinking water more helps a lot to get a healthy skin..
girl your skin looks PERFECT! i love the fact na you were open to share your acne struggle with us! thank you so much po ate for making this video, sobrang helpful and inspiring ito para sa mga tao struggling with acne
I decided to consult a derma last week, I cannot endure my face anymore. Watching your video provided hope for me and confidence in trusting the process. Thank you thank you so much!
How much did it cost?
@@ducktaglia1007 My derma said that I am a candidate for pimple surgery. She explained to me the procedure and it's purpose. A session costs 3k, included are 3 treatment methods. My derma said to undergo 3 sessions so that's 9k but they gave me a discount making it only 7k.
Other than the surgery, medications and products such as toner, lotion, sunscreen were also prescribed with a total cost of 4-5k.
In total I spent around 12k pesos. It's expensive I know, but I'm desperate T.T. Included na rin sa total yung fee for the consultation na 600 pesos.

@@ducktaglia1007 I'm a student too! I saved up money from my scholarship so that I can finally consult to a dermatologist. My greatest regret is not consulting earlier, my face got worse due to previous products I used. I'll update you on any progress on my acne journey if you want :).

i can't deny how much i enjoyed watching how u finally achieve your goal skin, noona.

Every time I get sad about how my skin looks, I remember how far I’ve come and how much worse it used to be. Been dealing with acne since my teenage years. I’m 22 now and still dealing with hormonal acne. I started my Spironolactone journey 3 months ago and i hardly get cystic acne anymore. Right now, I’m struggling to get rid of acne scars. I’ve had 2 micro needling sessions. I haven’t seen a significant difference yet, but I’m getting there. My next one is gonna be with prp.
I really like that you were speaking both languages and I could still completely understand everything. Great video
I used to have so much acne. What it made it so much worse was it was cystic!! The one that you can't just prick and it was too painful. I'm not sure how many bumps are there but it's one bump after another and it merges so it's really big to the point that it covered all my cheek area so you wouldn't see my skin anymore. I'm so glad I took Isotret. It was really life changing.
Same here, and everytime napuputok sila ng kusa yung mga areas na affected would really leave holes na malaki. I'm really worried by the way it looks, I feel like di na sila magiging ayos ulit, the holes are really something. By the way if it's fine to ask, how is your face's condition now after taking Isotret? For how many months mo sya ininom?
I'm really hesitating to consult a derma, but I've been struggling with this acne problem for years now, like it started when I was in 8th grade and it kind of became fine when I entered 9th and 10th grade, but senior high years came, it became active again, then next the start of pandemic, which also happened lumala lalo acne ko up till now na college nako.
did your derma prescribed isotretion or you are directly trying?
I've been struggling from acnes since highschool also, . I hope these products could help my skin , thank you for sharing . Acnes are really bad ,I lost my confidence and rarely going out cuz Im ashamed of what my face looks like
Don't be sad
Ate Rachel, your videos are so timely talaga. I've been suffering from acne for almost 8 years na and my self-esteem went downhill. After ilang years of trying what works with my skin, I somehow managed to stop acne from growing continuously, so now what's left is the pimple marks, acne scars and a very very visible pores nalang. I hope those products would help me lighten and improve my face din:(( thank you so much for sharing your acne journey to us!!!
I am going to tell you something your doctor may not have -- Accutane works via the mechanism of damaging your body. It is not "IF" it damages you, it is more "when" or "how severely". You may be 100% ok WHILE TAKING the medication, but that doesn't mean it won't harm you. The serious damage (literally everything listed on the insert, and more) may begin to happen to you not while on the medication but months or even years after you stop taking it.
The very mechanism of accutane is quite literally cell death (bodywide apoptosis). It is a chemotherapeutic drug. The cell death is not limited to sebaceous glands of the skin, but actually occurs everywhere, including stem cells which, once permanently damaged, do not replenish themselves - hence the permanent effects of acne clearance. This explains the "post-exposure delayed toxicity" that is seen with accutane and other chemotherapeutic drugs that also work through cytotoxic / stem-cell killing mechanisms. The permanent damage from this medication can happen after it is discontinued (months or years down the line) even without side effects or any warnings/abnormal blood results when you are taking it. Just be warned, this drug could seriously ruin your body (eyes, bones, joints, hair, teeth, spine, skin, brain, nerves, tendons, ligaments) for the rest of your life, and it can happen to you in the future, even if you're ok now....so once you've been exposed to this drug, you are never safe and you never know what will happen. This happened to me despite normal/mild side effects while taking the drug. The damage suddenly set in about 5 months after I stopped taking it. I took a 'low' dose, only 20mg/day. Everything was fine and dandy while I took the drug...I exercised, went to school, my blood labs were normal. Years later I still have such severe damage that I'm barely able to walk.
In addition to bodywide apoptosis and stem cell death, accutane also creates permanent gene expression changes (in more than 500 genes), DNA oxidative damage, and direct oxidative damage to every tissue of your body. There are studies that prove that accutane causes downregulation (a change in genetic expression which decreases) of collagen (the literal framework/scaffolding of your body), elastin (keeps your skin resilient and stretchy), and hyaluronic acid (the "water-holding molecule" that keeps your skin and joints youthful) - all CRITICAL proteins in ALL connective tissues that keep you looking and feeling youthful. So, quite literally, this drug AGES you. Accutane also downregulates telomerase, a protein that repairs damaged/broken DNA and is associated with biological youth. Have you ever noticed that someone who took accutane looks "older" or "less youthful"? These are the reasons why.
Doctors consistently try to deny the existence of delayed post-exposure effects (they say that effects only happen while on the drug, not weeks/months/years after stopping the drug) but this has similarly happened to countless others (thousands) as well and isn't rare. Taking accutane is certainly a choice, but most people are not fully aware of how awful it is to everyone who takes it and what kind of risks you are truly taking for your future health.
Good luck, I hope it doesn't happen to you.
😨...
I used to have clear skin, now I'm breaking out everywhere,
Maybe because of stress and anxiety,
It made my self conscious
And I've been crying because poeple think I have blisters in my face,
I don't have money for consultation 😢
Came across your video. This is what happened to me during HS-College days. My acne flared up when I was 4th yr HS my mom brought me to a lot of doctors pero wala. Finally when I was in 1st year college we went to a derma in Makati. They prescribed me the same oral medication I was in medication for 6-9mos. For the first 2mos no changes pero after that you will see the changes and it will changed dramatically. Parang naka photoshop face ganon. Up until skin isn’t as bad as I was in college. I dont get big pimples/acne anymore. My skincare is not the same as yours but im thankful I came across that medication and gives me the boost of confidence and not think about when my acne will flare up. Oh Im also diagnosed with PCOS which gives my skin acne prone
Also went to derma last week. My acne was only mild to moderate, but it's persistent T_T. I don't have any kind of skincare at all din kaya siguro ganun. Super nakababa talaga ng confidence kasi sa entire block namin ako lang ang may maraming pimples. My derma prescribed me antibiotics and some skincare products. Hoping na mag-improve rin skin ko in the future.
Glad to see your healed skin ❤️ please don’t use spf stick for main application of the sunblock. Always use an spf lotion for main application. Use stick for reapplication. You look so beautiful 💗💗
Isotretinoin ruined my hair. I have oily skin and was suffering from acne during my teens and was prescribed this. It did reduce sebum production on my face but also stripped my hair of all the natural oils. This is a known side effect and my dermatologist should have discussed this. I had bad hairfall and dull/dry hair. Unfortunately, my hair never fully recovered. Maybe I was unlucky but I think its better to talk about all types of side effects before starting a drug.
Some dermatologist just won't tell about the side effects. Mine just told me like "Nah as long as you do not plan to get pregnant in this one year there is not problem at all, this is the only cure." But when i done my survey there are quite a lot of potential side effects. From the expected skin rashes due to dryness, liver issue, high cholesterol, some even experience depression. I also think it is very important to inform in advance and let the patient to decide whether to just live with acne or enjoy flawles skin with potential side effect. I have done the blood test, but i have decided to not continue with isotretinoin after my survey. I will work with changing lifestyle, skin care, keeping my hands off my face and perhaps i will just change my mindset, take things easy and live with acne.
@@Cpl_rhwo totally agreed with it, there is way too much that doctors never tell you. I suffered some inflammation of a nerve in my eye, since isotretinoin has a lot of toxicity in its formula, there are plenty side effects that even doctors cannot predict. I had to stop because the only thing I was taking at that time was isotretinoin and it could be the toxicity of the meds that made me that. Do it with consciousness and with a good doctor in charge!
Im so happy when I saw your face cleared after taking it for 6months 😊
this is such a good video, very well planned out and thoughtful of everything. loved it 🤍
I'm a new fan! I'll watch all of your videos later after work. Kinda excited haha
I used Isotretinoin for a whole year when i was pretty young. After a year of treatment, my face was completely clean. BUT it only lasted two years, many things started happening that stressed me out until today. Because of that, recently my acne has returned, maybe not as strong as before but it is pretty noticeable, i'm having a meeting with my doc in a couple of weeks, so we'll see how it goes. The thing is, if you feel insecure about yourself and acne, please take it easy, even the strongest treatment can fail at some point and it isn't something you should feel bad for, just keep going at your own pace, look for doctors help if it seems necessary, you'll see the journey was worth it. (oh, and be pacient too!!)
Something really similar happened to me but I had to left Isotretinoin for a toxic reaction that I had, I got some kind of inflammation in a nerve in my eye and doctors couldn't assure if isotretinoin toxicity was the cause so I had to stop the meds. My skin was at the best moment so I didn´t doubt in stopping it, but after a year and a half I had a breakout due to hormonal adult acne at my 27 due to PCOs, I took the pill but I had several side effects like really bad migraines and depression, so I am trying a more natural approach by stop consuming dairy products, nothing fried, more Omega-3, truly a healthy lifestyle.
Sometimes unfortunately is a never ending process but you´ll learn how to take care of your own skin!
I just suggest of being aware of the side effects and always do it with a dermatologist in charge of the process. Good luck for all of you!
I started having breakouts last June 2020 after I noticed some pimples growing on my cheeks a month before it. I tried various products and skin care routine that I thought would lessen the breakout, but I was wrong. It worsened. I lost my confidence, I missed outings, I rarely go out, and thought about suicide. Right now, am visiting derma clinic and I can already trace some improvements. The regrets I have were using manyyyy skincare products that did not match my skin type and not going to the derma sooner.
Magkano magpa check up sa derma???
I am really REALLY proud of you, I hope you will have a clear skin sooner! thank you for not giving up :D
@@reymart8243 hello po! I'll answer your question po, as far as I know depende po kung gaano kalala ung acne mo (mild, moderate, severe) yung akin po I can't say if mild sya or moderate basta nasa middle po sya ng mild and moderate, ang nagastos ko po ay 6k+ btw Im 14 y/o po, ang alam ko din po dinedepende po ng mga dermatologist sa age yung mga binibigay na gamot sa atin. Mayroon din po akong follow up consultations sa dermatologist ko. Maaari po na maiba din yung bibigay sa inyong gamot kapag kailangan pong may ibahin, so another gastos po sya ulit.
@@reymart8243 may mga free online consultations pero more on f2f na sila. meron din naman sa mga private hospital. natry ko sa SkinStation, around 800 consultation and nagprescibe lang ng meds. 🙂
You know that its fxkng fulfilling and such an achievement if you finally got that kind of flawless and vibrant face that you've been insecure for many many years. ✨ I know too that there are peeps who are contented enough but it hits differently when you have that worst acne phase on your life and you can't deal it confidently
When I was based in Dubai in my mid 20s I also had bad acne. My derma also put me on isotretinoin on/off for 6 months. I was on Curacne and Accutane and was also told that it’s a very strong medication. It’s bad for the liver so you can’t be on it for too long and you can’t get pregnant. Because there’s a high chance of having birth defects, miscarriages and so forth. So during that time I was on contraceptives without fail.
Fast forward to 10 years and I’ve never had any acne problems since. But that treatment is esspensive. My 30 day tablet used be 300+ dirhams so that’s more less 5k pesos, and that was 10 years ago.
The thing is once someone gets cured of their acne and acne scars,they get this transformation and they become so beautiful. Even though they were beautiful before but when the acne left,they just glow on another level.
I'M SO PROUD OF YOU ATE, I REALLY NA MAG PA DERMA BUT WALA PANG BUDGET
may free consultation naman online ang PDS, kahit taga luzon, visayas, mindanao pwede mag avail. through chat or tawag lang rin ang consultation tsaka mga board certified dermatologist rin sila
Kainggit mas grabe ung acne mo saken nung before ka maging clear skin pero ako eto pa den wala pag babago ayaw ko din ng mga procedures kasi I see a lot of feedbacks online na hindi naman talaga magandang result but if sinuggest na ng dermatologist wala ka na magagawa eh ung iba kasi business lang ayaw pinapagastos ka ng marami proud of you ate gumanda kapa lalo now
Isotretinoin really helped with my hormonal and cystic acne. Used to have huge and deep pimples on my nose esp when period comes then it spread on my cheek and jaw area but now it's gone. Still have pimples from time to time but it's just 1 or 2 and it's manageable. Changed my lifestyle while taking isotret bc it is really drying but it's worth it.
Claiming thisss positive result ❤️✨
10:15 start ng skincare
what a journey!! glad u overcome it ate rm
PROUD OF YOU ATEE
Ang hirap talaga pag andaming pimples di mawala wala, yun nlng nakikita nila sayo nakakababa ng self confidence. Luckily nawawala na acne ako, scars nlang.
i also struggle with severe acne. i cant keep my hands off my pimples no matter how many times my family tells me not to. it’s not that bad like it was in high school, but every couple of weeks i usually get acne that get really red and painful to touch. they usually leave tons of dark spots, and lately i’ve been feeling very insecure about it. before i go out, i try to apply some makeup to cover them up. i have been to the dermatologist, but i have never heard of isotretinion before. i will have to ask my dermatologist next time i see him. thank you for this video! it was very helpful :D
Finally i found someone with the same skin type as meeeeee 😭💖✨️
Hi ma'am Rachel. Sana po gumawa po kayo ng video ano yun 1st step skin care routine mo. Kapag hindi na po kayo busy. Thank you so much!
You gave me hope, I'm happy for you
I was confused at first if this was a comercial but then I realised it was part of the video😅
You are very brave for sharing this with us thankyou:)
When I saw your acne journey and the result you accomplished, I got really emotional. You look so beautiful congratulations I'm very happy for you. I hope I will get the same point some day. I am trying very hard for it
I came here after watched your video on tiktok ate, i watched your video there's a biggest difference, thank you for sharing your experience atee ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Rachel thank you for sharing to us your acne journey & your skincare routine. Btw I use the ordinary serum super ganda niya sa skin as in.
I suggest your next content, please post this as your content ( How do i edit my videos| step by step process + software that I use) I wanna know how you edit your vlogs and also how you edit your thumbnail so aesthetic 💗
Where can I buy or order the ordinary serum??
Very timely na napanuod ko video mo today. I'm currently in my first week of taking Isotretinoin and hopefully my skin gets better since I have the same acne situation as yours. Thank you for sharing this! 😚💗
I'm really at the stage where I feel I don't want to be seen by anyone outside due to may pimples, acne, and scars. Sometimes I would look at the mirror and think why? why me? to have such acne despite having billions of people around the world and honestly at times, I just want to give up hoping that it will get better. My self-esteem right now is really going down really fast and I really hate it. Back then I was really confident about my looks where I sometimes notice people, glancing or staring at me with eyes getting a sparkle, but now, I feel really terrible because sometimes when I go outside, I just look down and feel depressed because they might notice how horrid my face is. Addition to that, I have someone I like that wants to really meet me where I overthink so much. What if she sees me and get disgusted? What if she gets turned off? What if she will think differently after that day and won't talk with me anymore? Those what if's makes me feel terrible inside, giving her expectations that seems quite blurry for me where disappoints are only present. But a sliver of hope through this video came to me. I hope this hope will get me to somewhere progressive in my self-esteem and thank you, videos like this seems small to others but for me who is experiencing such sorrows right now means everything.
Hello hahaha just wanna say I've lessen my acne breakouts,
2 months ago I was suffering from darkspots and acne too,
I've used so many remedies but this was only that lessen my acne and darkspots,
It's the sulfur soap and teranex soap,
I alternate them,
Also soul apothecary revive and some sunscreen it's affordable too,
Just bought mine from drug stores lang
@@butcjesaaa143 hello may i know what your skin type is? what products did you use if you're still using it now and still effective? from ph >< i'm having a hard time to find products that will heal my years of acne. hope you would tell me thank u !
Manifesting to be financially stable soon!! How will I be able to start this journey kung slap soil lang ako HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA palamunin yarn
The ordinary products also did wonders to my face.
great video! this is first time i am watching you, i am not a native english speaker and your accent is very understandable i like it, i also read cc's i didnt understand that u r speaking a different language! are you from filipines i guess pesos is filipino money. i never heard filipino language before so its like mixing with english? in my language we have words from french and english but this sounds different to me! and your skin is so dewy and glowing lots of love 💕
I got some of the products and my skin significantly improved ❤ Thank you
Is this for dry skin or for oily skin?
Loved your progress, thanks for sharing ❤️ i’m about to start my treatment with isotretinoin and I’m really looking forward to. I’m going to take it for 9 months, I hope it’s enough to fade my scars as well, as I have deep ones in order to my cystic acne 😰
How much po un?
I searched you up on UA-cam right away after watching your vid on tiktok. My skin type is oily and prone to acne as well, but ang mas gusto kong ma fix ay itong visible pores ko. So, I am hoping that this vlog of yours would be the perfect sign for me because I've been trying a lot of products and it doesn't help me with my pores, just the acne which I'm thankful somehow.
Sooo happy for you! Your skin looks amazing. My story is similar to yours. I used an acne journal and it was so helpful with identifying my triggers. I bought it off amazon
I'm a highschool student who is very insecure because of my face right now. Our face to face class started and I literally didn't eat my snacks during breaktime because I'm too shy and scared because of what I look. I even tried to eat in restrooms para walang makakita. And I think, yung mga skin care products mo po is kinda expensive and I thought I can afford it but not... Manifesting for clear skin by this month!
Isotretinoin is the best product for acne. But chances of relapses is more than 60percent. And the relapses occur after around one and a half year. I am a doctor myself but have gone through terrible acne.
Your skin is absolutely amazing and nothing short of perfect! Thank you for making this video, it has given me some much needed hope 🥰😄
thank you for sharing Rachel! gives a bit of hope to me who's also struggling with acne although not too severe, but still makes me feel super conscious sometimes. I have a question tho, did you change your diet aside from changing your skin care routine? because being a working adult, most of the time is hard for me to have a proper, balanced and healthy meal 🥲. Love from Malaysia!
Can you make a video on how to treat your dark lips? And what kind of lip balm did you use when treating dark lips?
I will look forward to it
I love this video!! Such open and amazing advice and it’s so inspiring to see someone find their holy grail!! I HAVE ONE QUESTION THO: what does the glycolic acid contradict with in your PM ROUTINE??? 😬☺️
tretinoin babe! 💖
So happy for u , AND SO PROUD 💗
I have been struggling with acne since I hit seven grade and they haven’t gone away I’m so stressed out
I started drinking green tea in the morning and mint tea in the evening and I didn't get any new breakouts.
omg we're same🥺
Same! I also used Beautederm for almost 2 years until hindi na siya nagwork for me. I’m glad I consulted a dermatologist na. My skin is now recovering 🥺💖
My husband has acne and acne scars as well. 5 yrs ago we discovered the Banish Kit 2.0. The Banisher and the Vit C Serum helps in fading his scars, treating his acne and making his skin more plump. 💯
watery consistency products talaga are holy grail talaga lalo na sa oily and acne prone skin
ive suffered from acne for over 3 years now, spent sm on derma procedures, skincare products and all but nothing worked. my best advice is to directly consult a dermatologist. stop buying products bc it worked for other ppl or bc an influencer recommended it to you bc we all have different skin types. different things work for different people
Impossible to unless wala ka talaga naging pimples na nagpa-icepick scars. Derma na talaga solution kapag meron scars na butas butas
I love the awareness of this video and your confidence, ate! You inspire me po :>>
Thats a crazy glow up. My red spots left behind from acne are soo persistant. Its been nearly a year and they wont budge.
i suggest po dr wongs lightening soap and lightening face cream jan nawala redness ko and mga pimple scrans and marks ko before and nag light skin ko effective yan
Sad that i finished my isotretinoin for almost a year but I’m breaking out again,,, TWICE. So tired and I feel like giving up. Love that it works out for u
do not give up, i hope your skin gets better soon :(
Hey you're not alone I'm this! I finished mine and 18months later it came back.... A huge game changer for me was a differin gel, the bohemian gel cleanser and J's health probiotic moisturizer
Totally feel you!!! I was on isotretinoin for a year, my skin was soooo clear almost flawless and literally after stopping it, 3-4 months later I started breaking out again....and now it's still breaking out 😂
Just hang on , alright. Had an argument with my dermatologist last week and yesterday 😀 wondered why she refused to place me on isotretinoin but then she knows best plus I have allergies. Keep trying other products, that’s what I am doing because I read so much on people getting reoccurring acne even after isotretinoin. We would all be fine
I can attest with Wildleaf’s Vit C serum! Been using it for 4 years already! The best! 💯
Where to buy po?
Where to buy po

You're so pretty sis! Thanks for sharing your journey. I'm suffering from acne, dark spots at the moment and you thoroughly inspire me. Sobra! Haha Happy you finally achieved your clear and healthy skin sis. Hopefully ako din soon! ❤
really great video! also, i'd like to ask where you go for your dermatologist appointments, or like who's your derma :)
see pinned commwnt bb 💖
@@chelgania i can’t see your pinned post po.
pov: sinearch mo agad sa youtube after mo makita sa tiktok
Omg!! I'm so glad that I find your video in time. My dermatologist also prescribe me Roaccutane (Isotretinoin) for 30 days. I'm having it for 25 days. I was about to stop taking it cause I find no result of it and I'm going to change my dermatologist. I also have severe muscle pain for some days. But I couldn’t find any cause about that.
I'm struggling with acne scars its wrose than actual acne no matter you pop it or not it leaves a mark 😭
Wear SPF 50+ sunscreen daily. A gentle oil cleaner and foaming cleanser. For the rest I’d suggest a derm
Thank you for sharing your journey. Your skin looks beautiful!
Acne along the jawline is about hormonal issues. It maybe hard to treat but proper medication from a derm will help you!:)
Agree. This is hormonal acne
What is the solution for this
@@nikkilucila5061 prescription medication from a derm like sprinolactone or other medication and also topical skincare will also be provided. Before taking spironolactone, it's important to discuss it with a derm
Idk what is that other language that you sprinkle on your sentences, but I like that
I was listening to the video and then I had to go back to listen again cuz I couldn't hear what she said then I realized she was speaking spanish hahahahahah
You look like Nayeon from twice!!! 🥰🥰
9:19 skincare routine 🫶🏼
Salamat sis ❤️
Niacinamide, alpha arbutin and sunscreen lang ginamit ko and dangg, yung parang mini na butas butas sa face ko dhl sa acne 😔 hnd na visible and promise ang ganda ng combination ng dlawng serum. Niacinamide am and pm, alpha pm lang para makatipid ang mahal kasi pero super worth it namn. So kaht gabi nag susuncreen ako yung belo na may niacinamde din. 10 mins interval time bago ko iapply ang nxt serum same sa sunscreen. Within 1 week and 3 days masasabi ko na agad ang improvment. Kaya kaht prcey kung worth go na. Kasi sa totoo lang ang dami ko na natry na akala ko mas makakatipid pero mas nagiging malala lang.
Hi, Rachel! Thanks for sharing this with us ❤
Ask ko lang, when you went to derma, did u also get facial whenever you visit the clinic? Tyia
No i didnt bb. I just consulted through web lang kasi and asked if pwede bang topical creams nalang ibigya nya
@@chelgania Oooh, Thank you!
