What protein can I use? A lot of people watching my channel are into fitness and consume whey protein, protein bars and products with dairy in them.

I know how it feels to have very bad skin I had a really red rash like your acne, but even redder and only around my nose and mouth area and it even went on my eyelids! Oof it was so bad
Btw happy for u🤗🤗 but what if after taking it for 2 years the acne returns again??(I don't know if it surges cuz I took Accutane for 2 months and stopped...acne came back again
@@rickiclevelandrc I noticed...but as long as the acne 's gone and you r happy again..matters a lot (to u ) Thanks for the info buddy..P.S : sunscreen everyday..keeps the burns away😃
George Davidson I KNOW RIGHT!!! people would say that shit to me like “oh wow do u not wish ur face or something?” like yeah i do but it’s doesn’t just clear it all magically asshole
George Davidson most kids from 7-9th have _finally_ started learning how it actually works. Which means that most of the younger generations (myself included) aren’t going to be like “just wash your face lol”.
I’m currently 14, I have very bad acne and everywhere I go, even relatives houses they always ask about my face. Even in school, literally everyone makes comments of my face. (Not that they’re rude comments, just stupid questions), I’m proud of you with what you’ve been through! Hope it goes well for everyone in the same position. The struggle’s real..
My son just turned 15 and his skin is bad too! All his little cousins say “what happened to your face?” I put him on this medicine. If your family cannot afford the medicine make sure you DRINK about 3 litters of water a day. Eat very little junk food. Wash your face two times a day. Use antibiotic ointment on your big pimples ESPECIALLY if you pop them-like neosporin-your school nurse will have it. Wash your towels! Don’t use dirty towels on your face. I hope this helps!
my teeth are fucking brown almost because I have a some sord of illness which removes my teeth protection fully, I dont remember the names of these things im from finland. But my point is that I cant fucking smile and I fucking hate myself. Everytime i laugh someone points out about my teeth. I dont want to live with these teeth. Im already depressed and ive cut myself for the last year. Im thinking about killing myself soon. I didnt have any reason to write this comment, but now i feel a lil better for telling this to people. Nobody cares anyway im sorry i wrote this and you had to read it and fuck shit im cutting my wrists open soon
Did he even try it for that long? It flares up before it gets better. You've gotta be on it for at least a few months before you can say it doesn't work on you.

javii that's good! :) but i don't believe they'll add any more :( the series has been kinda over for a while now, I doubt they'll put anything new unfortunately. But we can always hope!
I was on accutane my junior year of high school, i was afraid to show my face and i was in constant pain, i was also suicidal when i never was before. Its been 2 years since then and I have zero pimples, i don’t even get blackheads. Worst time of my life but so worth it
Mltchell Yea unfortunately one of the accutane side effects is suicide thoughts. For some reason, I had the opposite effect and I was happy all the time and had zero anxiety!
I backed out last second on accutane because of depression being a side effect, Was it the medication that made you suicidal? and was it suicidal thoughts or the actions as well. Thanks
I, used it for 8 months and had a similiar experience as you did. I got severely depressed for about two years and had to eat anti depressants... But my skin is clear doeee 😊
Saw that you posted 42 seconds ago and immediately clicked! Thanks for all your positivity Brian, your videos helped me with my anxiety and depression so much! You da best!
I take the same medication, and i experienced every. Single. Side. Effect. Including liver failure. It’s good medication, but the side effects are pure hell
xX_Insecure_White_Boy_36_Xx [YT] I would see dark shadows in the corner of my room, but they would go away after a while Also some people calling my name when no one did Basically weird stuff
Hey man, doubt you’ll see this but I just wanted to thank you for your dedication to these acne videos. You really helped me get through my accutane treatments. I watched this video sooo many times before starting because I’ve been through the antibiotics and the topicals and everything else under the sun but nothing worked and I started my accutane treatments after listening to you teach about your experiences and all the different side affects it can bring. So just wanted to say thank you again for helping me become more educated about accutane and acne in general
Hello there! Brian you are awesome and a true hero. I t takes real courage to put yourself out there in an age of bulling and media harassment. I am so proud of you and your family should be too. Thank you for all your videos and if you should have any more problems in the future seek out the help of Dr Lee she is the greatest. Your the best. Take care and God bless.
i was on accutane for over a year.. my biggest struggle was dealing with dry lips!! What helped me was I would put Lucas Pawpaw ointment all over my lips at bed time and in the morning I would wet my lips with water and all the dead skin would just wipe off very easily! it would give me a fresh set of lips every morning that werent cracked! I then was using a good lip balm, Blistex (the light blue one), that i wasnt tempted to lick off every day and applied it every hour or so. As I would come closer to bed time I could feel my lips getting dry again but it didnt matter because I would just use the Pawpaw ointment and go to bed and start fresh the next day with lips that werent dry. Try giving that a go if you are struggling!!!
Cutting out dairy and unhealthy foods doesn't always work, for me I've tried it and it didn't do more than make me lose a few pounds. But it depends on the person 🙂
@@zinnia2738 I think that is accually what he means. Even though it didnt help you, you still researched nutrition and now you know how to eat healthy.
I took accutane for six months at 120 mg a day (which is the max dosage they will give you), and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I mainly suffered from dryness all over my body, dry eyes, and mild joint pain. The side effects were very manageable because I used lotion every chance I got including eye drops. Also, if you live in a dry environment, it will make your dryness much worse. I went on vacation to Costa Rica during the summer, and I barely had to use lotion or chap stick because it was so humid compared to where I live. Also, the side effects mostly went away about two weeks after stopping Accutane. I heard stories of people who's side effects never went away, but I felt completely normal after just a few weeks. Maybe I am a little dryer than normal, but that is a good thing because my face and hair are never greasy. Maybe I just got lucky, but my experience with Accutane was very positive.
Bro i have acne on my face from last 4 year. I tried everything but nothing happened. Tell me that accutane really remove acne pimples and redness forever
You’re really inspiring it’s really cool that you stayed positive during all that time. The steps and sacrifices you’ve taken are amazing. Wishing you the best dude.
I had a lot of acne (I’m only 13) and I went to a dermatologist to fix my acne. I started using the medicine they gave me in the morning and at night. At first, i thought it wouldn’t work. But after a week or two I started clearing up and now it’s almost completely gone! Idk why I’m sharing this but I relate! Edit: I know his acne is wayyy worse and I can’t relate a lot, but that tiny bit that I relate to is what made me write this comment
I feel for you my guy. I’m a lady, and don’t have painful obvious cystic acne right now...but I have had a couple of cysts in the past and have had moderate acne for 12 years. It’s such a pain and it hurts your self esteem. I’m so glad you found something that works!
One of the single best videos I have ever seen on UA-cam. This is what it is all about. I applaud and respect you and your efforts and dedication to help people that suffer (and I do mean suffer) from acne like this. When I was in high school I too had severe acne but there was nothing like Accutane available. I never could get a date and people would make hurtful comments about me. I also had hyperhidrosis (overactive sweat glands). Years later my acne cleared up and I saw a Dermatologist who prescribed a regimen of Drysol to eliminate the sweat gland problem. Thanks again, Brian, for doing this video, It took courage and a willing heart to help people. I commend you Brother. Stay safe and all the best.
I had SEVERE acne like Brian did. I tried literally EVERY treatment for my acne and nothing worked. So I went to my dermatologist and got on Accutane. I took it for about a year, it cleared up and I haven't had hardly any acne since. It's been about 7 years now and I only have occasional breakouts from stress mainly. I would recommend this to anyone with severe acne that has had no results from other treatments. Aquaphor ointment is the best for the dry skin part of it. And yes, always, ALWAYS have chap stick!
Nick Accutane causes permanent erectile dysfunction. People have partial or complete loss of libido and eventually get anorgasmic. Symptoms can develop even after treatment.
you are so handsome! congrats on your success with accutane. i have had acne since age 10 and i am 21 now. it has completely decreased my quality of life, i don't even know what i would look like without acne. I have to wear so much makeup and when I don't I can't leave the house. maybe I will try accutane myself.
Camryn Brielle It was worth it for me. Just find a good dermatologists and try to do a low dose approach I took 10mg only 5 days a week and saw great results so don't let these doctors give you super high doses especially if you're a girl ok and always look how you respond to it
Acne’s primarily what made me an introvert. It’s been 3 years now. Fortunately the big spots and pimples have been gone and just pores are left. Even tho I had to go through hell. I am still concerned what other people will think of me and I only open up on the internet. I’ve become pretty pathetic haven’t I ? Lol
Same here.... maby not as bad as you but im really timing when to go out and meet with friends. If its a good day and i dont have many new pimples i go out otherwhise not. Same with school sometimes when its getting too much. I also have problems with looking in to peoples faces when i have much acne(much means when it Starts to look realy bad with yellow pimples and so on). And like you im very introverted since this shit only going out if i have too
Don't feel bad haha i've been bullied when i was on high school because of my acne, it was so terrible that i didn't want to go outside my room, after the 4-year outbreak, it left scars, many are so deep i don't know how to remove it until now haha
I never thought you were ugly even when you had acne because i can still see the beauty in your appearance and I could relate or even think about my acne too but it is getting better . Brian you are handsome and I wanted to tell you that and your girlfriend is wonderful just like you . For one thing for sure is that you have a heart of gold and you never gave up no matter what , So you definitely kept trying even when some one put you down but if i ever met you i would say ypur beautiful and caring😀
You literally took the words right out of my mouth. The only way someone can have breakouts of this magnitude is it their hormones are extremely out of wack. He doesn't seem to have naturally excessive levels of testosterone-judging by his facial features and apparent high-so my guess is that this is medically induced acne. He might even be doing steroids.
Thank YOU for putting this out there! My favorite part is when you say “my suggestion to you is to try nearly everything else first and only use Accutane as a last resort”. I had horribly acne(face, chest, and back) and was on Accutane for ten months. I was 17 when I took it and told my doctor in month ten I wouldn’t take it anymore because I thought I was losing my mind. I remember feeling like I didn’t have control over my own thoughts or emotions anymore and as a 17 year old, that was scary as hell. When people now ask me how I have such beautiful skin, I tell them about Accutane but I make sure to tell them LAST RESORT only. Again man, thanks for sharing this because people NEED to be aware that it is an incredible drug but can definitely come with a cost.
I took 80 mg of accutane everyday for about 24 weeks. And it saved me. I started getting acne when I was 9 years old (early, yes) while the rest of my classmates got them by age 13. So for 4 years I walked around like some alien to them, and spent most of my years in school looking down, and covering my face talking to people. The accutane process was though, especially because I was in the army at the time, and accutane made my limbs and joints really stale and unflexible, so it was not easy. And the dry skin, pain in the lips, and the rest of the face was brutal. I didn't break out though, which I'm thankful for, so I didn't get a single acne during the process. The dryness is still left, not as badly, but it's still there. I quit accutane 4 years ago, and I still haven't got a single acne on my face. By body however is a different story. My back is covered, and some on my chest. But despite all that, my life is owed to Accutane. It literally saved my life.
Wow, I'm so sorry you had to go through this. I had severe acne for 14 years (age 14 - 28), and imy acne did not improve AT ALL on a mostly vegan diet (plus butter). (Yes, vegan plus butter is weird; it was motivated by a dumb book called Fit for Life.).So if dairy caused my acne, all it took was a little bit of butter in an otherwise whole food plant based healthy diet. I finally took Accutane at age 28, which cured my acne permanently (I'm now 53). I hope it didn't cause any permanent damage for either of us. My most bothersome side effect was the dry lips. I found something better than Chapstick at the health food store (forget what it was called), but I also ran a humidifer in my apartment, which helped enormously.
I had pretty bad acne in High School and I understand it all. I got a lot of respect for this guy. It is NOT easy to come out like this, but he chose to share his experience to help others 💯
Dude when I see people like that I'm not bullying them, I just cry and feel sad because I say to me that theses people have horrible life, I swear I want nobody in this world to get accutane.
Yeah accutane seems like a last resort. I had moderate comedonal acne a few months back, there are better ways to solve it. Now my acne is pretty mild(still a few close comedones and occasional breakout). Just stick to the routine and your skin will gradually get better
I remember I was the only girl with bad acne at school (about 8 years ago) and I was sooo self conscious and everyone kept saying “it’s not that bad”, “I can barely see it” but then I would look ay my face and it was obvious it was pretty bad. I cried until my mom accepted to take me to the dermatologist, took it for 2 years, had a relapse, and then another year. It finally worked and I’ve had clean skin for years. But man, do I get you when you said: “if you’re feeling bad about that cyst in your chin, well, think about me” , that was me, all the time.
I hated having acne growing up. My first pimple was in 3rd grade and then by the time I was in middle school, my face was covered and looked very similar to yours. It wasn’t until my first year of high school I started taking acutane, and by the end my acne cleared up, however I had terrible scarring. Funny thing was though that the treatment didn’t end up working, so I had to go on another cycle of acutane at a really strong dosage. Thank God the second time worked. To help with my scarring I started putting natural grounded oatmeal mixed with milk/water and let it sit on my face for 10-15 minutes, followed by moisturizing, since it did dry out your skin. And nowadays all I do to take care of my skin is using simple dove soap and moisturizer and some sun screen. Most people compliment me now on my skin and don’t believe me when I say I had terrible acne with scarring lol
It wasn’t necessarily the second treatment as you do get dry skin a lot and for me I shed skin a lot during the treatment (I could literally peel off skin from my face) and even my lips chapped badly so maybe the shedding helped with the scars
Really cool how you kept up your morale and self confidence throughout this whole process- I'm living for this level of self awareness and belief. Im not usually into the kind of videos you make, but I like the positive, honest vibe you got goin
good luck. i took accutane and i stopped after 3.5 months. 100% clear already after only 3.5 months, all i have left is some red marks after acne, which sucks but hey, it was worth it
My acne was Honest To God WAY WAY WAY WORSE… like they put my face in textbooks on the worst scene. My parents were very very against accutane. We tried everything but accutane. I was in multiple medical studies, tried damn near every drug imaginable except accutane. When I turned 18 I Finnaly went and took it myself to get a prescription. I’m 22 now and damn better now cleared of acne. I still have tiny patches and what not, but it’s way better. Accutane saved my life. I was so mentally low and insecure because of my acne. Im now a changed human! Yes everything you mentioned in super true. The dryness length of treatment and bleeding lips. The only reason why it was labeled as such a bad drug was because a politician’s daughter committed suicide while on accutane. . I truely believe that people need to give accutane a better chance if they have sever cystic acne
@@Churros1616 I tried that as well, for 8 months actually. It was completely useless, changing your diet to be removed of any meet and dairy and only eating other things, aka going vegan, is not a sure thing to change skin complexion.
@@Churros1616 ahhh the good Ole, stopping eating food and live off of water but then the water also has chemicals in it that might exacerbate inflammation
When I was on acutane I would open my mouth to talk and my lips would immedietly split open and bleed from that slight movement. Even with constant slathering of vasaline. It completely fixed my cystic acne, but I didn't talk much during those months
Omg yes!! I was so embarrassed by this. Because you already are having breakouts and now it’s right around your lips 👄... I was mortified! Luckily chemical peels saved my face ;) best thing ever!!! Even got my pores smaller !! You can’t even tell I had acne that bad now
Lip balm is superior to vaseline. Not only does vaseline smell and taste bad, it keeps moisture out while keeping in what little is in there, which may even be counter-productive for the accutane treatment. When I was on accutane, Lip balm allowed me to talk normally without pain as long as I used lip balm every half hour or so. Just couldn't smile widely or laugh ecstatically.
Props man. I had to stop taking Accutane due to bad chemical reactions mentally- I became a complete monster and could not control my anger, I didn’t realize until my family asked me to stop taking it.
After trying everything topically and being misdiagnosed by two different dermatologists in the past 5 years, I am FINALLY starting Accutane tomorrow. I appreciate this video so much. Your voice was so soothing and reassuring. Thanks for mentioning the sunscreen and dryness. I live in FL now. I already have health issues with passing out from heat (thankfully it’s winter here now) and I have light sensitivity, so I need to buy a few sunglasses tomorrow. That tip was super helpful.
@@alexandercruz4766 Good luck! I do have minor issues with my knee joints because of this, but it’s extremely minor as long as I maintain water intake like I should. Otherwise, I would do it all over again. Oh, and take it with an avocado every morning.
Took Accutane for a about 6 months. I had insanely dry skin too. I would get a bloody nose every day just because of the dryness of my pores. Also, dry/bloody stools, minor stomache aches, and agitiation. It beat acne though. Clear skin now and well worth it.
@@kylelopez5699 Skin is clear (29 years old). Every now and then I would break out but I realized it was what I was consuming. I know everyone is different but milk makes me break out. Maybe it's the hormones. Who knows. I used to eat cereal everyday and put it in my protein shakes. Once I cut back, my skin returned to clear. Maybe it's a coincidence.
@@ededdundeady6683 thats good to hear, and yea dairy does trigger breakouts so ill reduce my intake on that. hope that all goes well in this 12 months and I can't wait for it to be over.
God I had cystic acne like this (not as severe though) and accutane saved my self esteem!! I recommend it 100% because it works wonders like shown in this video.
Ben Mitchell that's great. I tried all of them... several medications, topicals, etc. and they didn't work for me personally. So I used accutane as a last resort.
I'm actually under Accutane and I had watched your video before the treatment, I've just watched it again because it feels good to see that someone understand me and went through the same stuff. Thank you for this video bro

I wanted to pin a post with some answers to the most asked questions! 😁
My four biggest tips for people who want to make change in their acne are to
1) REMOVE DAIRY 100% (not even a little tiny slip up)
2) Eat 8-16 servings of dark green cruciferous veggies
3) Drink more water (1-2 gallons a day)
4) Balance your gut flora by ingesting some form of probiotics.
What protein can I use?
A lot of people watching my channel are into fitness and consume whey protein, protein bars and products with dairy in them. Whey/casein proteins are concentrated dairy, you need to switch to a plant based protein. The best plant based protein is the raw plant protein from VivoLife (Yes, I'm sponsored because I support them fully - use BRIAN10 for 10% off VivoLife: bit.ly/VivoLifeBrian).

I was on accutane my junior year of high school, i was afraid to show my face and i was in constant pain, i was also suicidal when i never was before. Its been 2 years since then and I have zero pimples, i don’t even get blackheads. Worst time of my life but so worth it
Mltchell Yea unfortunately one of the accutane side effects is suicide thoughts. For some reason, I had the opposite effect and I was happy all the time and had zero anxiety!
squid jelly oh my gosh ur so lucky. I'm on it now (1 month today) and it's literally making me sad aaaaaall the time
Well, that's me 100% of the time anyway so I'm actually excited about Accutane now lol
I backed out last second on accutane because of depression being a side effect, Was it the medication that made you suicidal? and was it suicidal thoughts or the actions as well. Thanks

It's not that bad, you're only depressed if you choose to be depressed, the only effect of taking it is making you a little bit edgy

Hey man, doubt you’ll see this but I just wanted to thank you for your dedication to these acne videos. You really helped me get through my accutane treatments. I watched this video sooo many times before starting because I’ve been through the antibiotics and the topicals and everything else under the sun but nothing worked and I started my accutane treatments after listening to you teach about your experiences and all the different side affects it can bring. So just wanted to say thank you again for helping me become more educated about accutane and acne in general
Hello there! Brian you are awesome and a true hero. I t takes real courage to put yourself out there in an age of bulling and media harassment. I am so proud of you and your family should be too. Thank you for all your videos and if you should have any more problems in the future seek out the help of Dr Lee she is the greatest. Your the best. Take care and God bless.
i was on accutane for over a year.. my biggest struggle was dealing with dry lips!! What helped me was I would put Lucas Pawpaw ointment all over my lips at bed time and in the morning I would wet my lips with water and all the dead skin would just wipe off very easily! it would give me a fresh set of lips every morning that werent cracked! I then was using a good lip balm, Blistex (the light blue one), that i wasnt tempted to lick off every day and applied it every hour or so. As I would come closer to bed time I could feel my lips getting dry again but it didnt matter because I would just use the Pawpaw ointment and go to bed and start fresh the next day with lips that werent dry. Try giving that a go if you are struggling!!!
Thomas White I was on Accutane and every night I caked my lips with Vaseline that worked

You're careful of what you eat, and generally eat healthier lol
This made me feel better, when I was clear-faced I was getting pretty fat but now I’m pretty slim.
Cutting out dairy and unhealthy foods doesn't always work, for me I've tried it and it didn't do more than make me lose a few pounds. But it depends on the person 🙂
Omgg yesss,amd drink more water 😁
@@zinnia2738 I think that is accually what he means. Even though it didnt help you, you still researched nutrition and now you know how to eat healthy.
this led me to ed
I took accutane for six months at 120 mg a day (which is the max dosage they will give you), and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I mainly suffered from dryness all over my body, dry eyes, and mild joint pain. The side effects were very manageable because I used lotion every chance I got including eye drops. Also, if you live in a dry environment, it will make your dryness much worse. I went on vacation to Costa Rica during the summer, and I barely had to use lotion or chap stick because it was so humid compared to where I live.
Also, the side effects mostly went away about two weeks after stopping Accutane. I heard stories of people who's side effects never went away, but I felt completely normal after just a few weeks. Maybe I am a little dryer than normal, but that is a good thing because my face and hair are never greasy.
Maybe I just got lucky, but my experience with Accutane was very positive.
So how is your face now tho?
@@voidsong8120 It's great, absolutely no acne. People are very surprised when I tell them I had severe acne not too long ago.
Ya got lucky. I took 60 mg a day and I live in colorado. I could peel my skin off my face.

I had a lot of acne (I’m only 13) and I went to a dermatologist to fix my acne. I started using the medicine they gave me in the morning and at night. At first, i thought it wouldn’t work. But after a week or two I started clearing up and now it’s almost completely gone! Idk why I’m sharing this but I relate!
Edit: I know his acne is wayyy worse and I can’t relate a lot, but that tiny bit that I relate to is what made me write this comment

@@byRilex yes because telling the difference between hormonal acne and other types of acne is easy.

I feel for you my guy. I’m a lady, and don’t have painful obvious cystic acne right now...but I have had a couple of cysts in the past and have had moderate acne for 12 years. It’s such a pain and it hurts your self esteem. I’m so glad you found something that works!
One of the single best videos I have ever seen on UA-cam. This is what it is all about.
I applaud and respect you and your efforts and dedication to help people that suffer (and I do mean suffer) from acne like this.
When I was in high school I too had severe acne but there was nothing like Accutane available. I never could get a date and people would make hurtful comments about me. I also had hyperhidrosis (overactive sweat glands).
Years later my acne cleared up and I saw a Dermatologist who prescribed a regimen of Drysol to eliminate the sweat gland problem.
Thanks again, Brian, for doing this video,
It took courage and a willing heart to help people.
I commend you Brother.
Stay safe and all the best.
DUDE i am in the exact situation right now. I am in high school and have moderate acne but my hyperhidrosis is killing my confidence
Got both. Acne and hyperhidrosis. Stay strong
I had SEVERE acne like Brian did. I tried literally EVERY treatment for my acne and nothing worked. So I went to my dermatologist and got on Accutane. I took it for about a year, it cleared up and I haven't had hardly any acne since. It's been about 7 years now and I only have occasional breakouts from stress mainly. I would recommend this to anyone with severe acne that has had no results from other treatments. Aquaphor ointment is the best for the dry skin part of it. And yes, always, ALWAYS have chap stick!
Nick Accutane causes permanent erectile dysfunction. People have partial or complete loss of libido and eventually get anorgasmic. Symptoms can develop even after treatment.
Jakub Libera stop fucking posting this. This is a lie. There are zero studies that show this.
you are so handsome! congrats on your success with accutane. i have had acne since age 10 and i am 21 now. it has completely decreased my quality of life, i don't even know what i would look like without acne. I have to wear so much makeup and when I don't I can't leave the house. maybe I will try accutane myself.
You should, it takes commitment but is so worth it
Camryn Brielle
It was worth it for me. Just find a good dermatologists and try to do a low dose approach I took 10mg only 5 days a week and saw great results so don't let these doctors give you super high doses especially if you're a girl ok and always look how you respond to it
Gank Kat makeup does not give me acne though
DreamBeatsBakery good point. Slowly but surely
Gank Kat not necessarily. As long as you're washing your face, not so much.
I’m happy for you! Your skin looks amazing! I’m 21 and still have acne 🥺
Acne’s primarily what made me an introvert. It’s been 3 years now. Fortunately the big spots and pimples have been gone and just pores are left. Even tho I had to go through hell. I am still concerned what other people will think of me and I only open up on the internet. I’ve become pretty pathetic haven’t I ? Lol
Same here.... maby not as bad as you but im really timing when to go out and meet with friends. If its a good day and i dont have many new pimples i go out otherwhise not. Same with school sometimes when its getting too much. I also have problems with looking in to peoples faces when i have much acne(much means when it Starts to look realy bad with yellow pimples and so on). And like you im very introverted since this shit only going out if i have too
I feel you
Don't feel bad haha i've been bullied when i was on high school because of my acne, it was so terrible that i didn't want to go outside my room, after the 4-year outbreak, it left scars, many are so deep i don't know how to remove it until now haha

Chris Pratt’s brother??
James Riley exactly what i thought
Heh. But slightly more swole.
Finn Jones brother
this man has testosterone levels unwitnessed by man
That's why he struggles with acne. High testosterone converts to estrogen at a pretty high rate and that's what causes acne.
Austin Cook and this is why people follow psuedo science. If any dermatologist looked at this guys skin they would immediately put him on accutane .
You literally took the words right out of my mouth. The only way someone can have breakouts of this magnitude is it their hormones are extremely out of wack. He doesn't seem to have naturally excessive levels of testosterone-judging by his facial features and apparent high-so my guess is that this is medically induced acne. He might even be doing steroids.
Tom Buzzelli or ketoconazole on genitalia. These “medicines” make the problem worse after the treatment is stopped
@@jessicanicole3747 Spilling you low intelligence i see.
Thank YOU for putting this out there! My favorite part is when you say “my suggestion to you is to try nearly everything else first and only use Accutane as a last resort”. I had horribly acne(face, chest, and back) and was on Accutane for ten months. I was 17 when I took it and told my doctor in month ten I wouldn’t take it anymore because I thought I was losing my mind. I remember feeling like I didn’t have control over my own thoughts or emotions anymore and as a 17 year old, that was scary as hell. When people now ask me how I have such beautiful skin, I tell them about Accutane but I make sure to tell them LAST RESORT only. Again man, thanks for sharing this because people NEED to be aware that it is an incredible drug but can definitely come with a cost.
I took 80 mg of accutane everyday for about 24 weeks. And it saved me. I started getting acne when I was 9 years old (early, yes) while the rest of my classmates got them by age 13. So for 4 years I walked around like some alien to them, and spent most of my years in school looking down, and covering my face talking to people. The accutane process was though, especially because I was in the army at the time, and accutane made my limbs and joints really stale and unflexible, so it was not easy. And the dry skin, pain in the lips, and the rest of the face was brutal. I didn't break out though, which I'm thankful for, so I didn't get a single acne during the process. The dryness is still left, not as badly, but it's still there. I quit accutane 4 years ago, and I still haven't got a single acne on my face. By body however is a different story. My back is covered, and some on my chest. But despite all that, my life is owed to Accutane. It literally saved my life.
Same for me. I get almost no acne on my face now but my back and chest still has a fairly large amount.
Hey don’t worry
I have horrible backne and assne but my face is clear and that is all that matters
Windsbee My friends on it right now and her skin got really dry and got swelling in her lips. I feel really bad for her.
80? I am taking 20 a day and I am still dry as fck. I hope dryness wont stay for long after I quit It.
Wow man I've subbed to you when you were on week 25 it's so cool seeing change
Wow, I'm so sorry you had to go through this. I had severe acne for 14 years (age 14 - 28), and imy acne did not improve AT ALL on a mostly vegan diet (plus butter). (Yes, vegan plus butter is weird; it was motivated by a dumb book called Fit for Life.).So if dairy caused my acne, all it took was a little bit of butter in an otherwise whole food plant based healthy diet. I finally took Accutane at age 28, which cured my acne permanently (I'm now 53). I hope it didn't cause any permanent damage for either of us. My most bothersome side effect was the dry lips. I found something better than Chapstick at the health food store (forget what it was called), but I also ran a humidifer in my apartment, which helped enormously.
BEYOND THE WEAK! Thanks so much Brian! You have changed the world with your videos. Love you, man. Couldn't have made it without you.
I’m so glad to hear that man 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I had pretty bad acne in High School and I understand it all. I got a lot of respect for this guy. It is NOT easy to come out like this, but he chose to share his experience to help others 💯
Dude when I see people like that I'm not bullying them, I just cry and feel sad because I say to me that theses people have horrible life, I swear I want nobody in this world to get accutane.
Having flashbacks to my treatment. It's not fun to go through but it works. Stay strong everyone. It get's better!

Well i must say you are very lucky ❤
So? This video isn’t just for acne people
Wow what a mad lad
I remember I was the only girl with bad acne at school (about 8 years ago) and I was sooo self conscious and everyone kept saying “it’s not that bad”, “I can barely see it” but then I would look ay my face and it was obvious it was pretty bad. I cried until my mom accepted to take me to the dermatologist, took it for 2 years, had a relapse, and then another year. It finally worked and I’ve had clean skin for years. But man, do I get you when you said: “if you’re feeling bad about that cyst in your chin, well, think about me” , that was me, all the time.
EmeGeBe DUDE I relapsed about 3 times
I'm happy for your skin's improvement, oh I'm on tretinoin for my hormonal acne, wish me luck dude.
i love how dermatologists try to tell you that your diet doesnt cause breakouts... mhmm... yea we believe you...
What the fuck are you talking about? I've never heard of a single dermatologist saying that, it's common sense your fucking diet affects acne.
Crackhead ass bitch.
My doctors told me that too. It sucks that even they can be greedy :/
@Ellie Mack you are wrong I had cystic acne and more sugar intake do worsen it
@敏。。 I drink milk a lot yet I only have 2 small pimples on my forehead
I hated having acne growing up. My first pimple was in 3rd grade and then by the time I was in middle school, my face was covered and looked very similar to yours. It wasn’t until my first year of high school I started taking acutane, and by the end my acne cleared up, however I had terrible scarring. Funny thing was though that the treatment didn’t end up working, so I had to go on another cycle of acutane at a really strong dosage. Thank God the second time worked. To help with my scarring I started putting natural grounded oatmeal mixed with milk/water and let it sit on my face for 10-15 minutes, followed by moisturizing, since it did dry out your skin. And nowadays all I do to take care of my skin is using simple dove soap and moisturizer and some sun screen. Most people compliment me now on my skin and don’t believe me when I say I had terrible acne with scarring lol
That's interesting I was told scarring was permanent. Are there really natural ways to get rid of scarring?
Did the second acutane treatment get rid of scars
It wasn’t necessarily the second treatment as you do get dry skin a lot and for me I shed skin a lot during the treatment (I could literally peel off skin from my face) and even my lips chapped badly so maybe the shedding helped with the scars
FuriousFelix it worked for me personally, but I can’t speak for everyone else. But give it a try!
Really cool how you kept up your morale and self confidence throughout this whole process- I'm living for this level of self awareness and belief. Im not usually into the kind of videos you make, but I like the positive, honest vibe you got goin
Bless your heart. You've been through so much. What a good attitude you have.
I'm starting accutane tomorrow, oh well, good luck to me. :)
left4good1 good luck to your journey :)
Same bro im so hyped
good luck. i took accutane and i stopped after 3.5 months. 100% clear already after only 3.5 months, all i have left is some red marks after acne, which sucks but hey, it was worth it
RvngeOG what was your dose bro?
+Bj Wet my dose was 30mg per day only, i took a 20mg + 10mg together after dinner everyday for 3.5 months
I never had a worse breakout after taking Accutane it just keeps getting better
I'm so grateful to see how brave you are about your acne. It is so empowering. Thanks for the love
Now question is, what would be the result of cutting out diary in the first place and not taking Accutane
No, I think both played a big part. The Accutane got rid of the crist and acne, and using little to none dairy prevents them from coming back.
I consume dairy everyday and don't have a single pimple
Andrea.Isabel that’s your body. everybody reacts differently.
@@samanthasmith5011 Then not everyones acne will be impacted by dairy products.
I didn't drink milk and I started to now and i have A LOT of small pimples on my forehead. Already stoped drinking it 😥
My acne was Honest To God WAY WAY WAY WORSE… like they put my face in textbooks on the worst scene. My parents were very very against accutane. We tried everything but accutane. I was in multiple medical studies, tried damn near every drug imaginable except accutane. When I turned 18 I Finnaly went and took it myself to get a prescription. I’m 22 now and damn better now cleared of acne. I still have tiny patches and what not, but it’s way better. Accutane saved my life. I was so mentally low and insecure because of my acne. Im now a changed human! Yes everything you mentioned in super true. The dryness length of treatment and bleeding lips. The only reason why it was labeled as such a bad drug was because a politician’s daughter committed suicide while on accutane. . I truely believe that people need to give accutane a better chance if they have sever cystic acne
You shouldn’t have tried any drugs, If you stopped eating beef, pork and dairy you wouldn’t have needed accutane.
@@Churros1616 I tried that as well, for 8 months actually. It was completely useless, changing your diet to be removed of any meet and dairy and only eating other things, aka going vegan, is not a sure thing to change skin complexion.
@@Churros1616Ohhhhhh shut up lmao. Where's my acne then?.
@@Churros1616 ahhh the good Ole, stopping eating food and live off of water but then the water also has chemicals in it that might exacerbate inflammation
When I was on acutane I would open my mouth to talk and my lips would immedietly split open and bleed from that slight movement. Even with constant slathering of vasaline. It completely fixed my cystic acne, but I didn't talk much during those months
Abi Tolliver If that ever happens again, don’t use Vaseline. It doesn’t help instead, use a balm with beeswax
Abi Tolliver same
Same
Omg yes!! I was so embarrassed by this. Because you already are having breakouts and now it’s right around your lips 👄... I was mortified! Luckily chemical peels saved my face ;) best thing ever!!! Even got my pores smaller !! You can’t even tell I had acne that bad now
Lip balm is superior to vaseline. Not only does vaseline smell and taste bad, it keeps moisture out while keeping in what little is in there, which may even be counter-productive for the accutane treatment. When I was on accutane, Lip balm allowed me to talk normally without pain as long as I used lip balm every half hour or so. Just couldn't smile widely or laugh ecstatically.
Your confidence during ur breakout is making me more confident during mine :)
what is your skincare routine currently?!
Props man. I had to stop taking Accutane due to bad chemical reactions mentally- I became a complete monster and could not control my anger, I didn’t realize until my family asked me to stop taking it.
What a personality. Looking great man!
After trying everything topically and being misdiagnosed by two different dermatologists in the past 5 years, I am FINALLY starting Accutane tomorrow. I appreciate this video so much. Your voice was so soothing and reassuring. Thanks for mentioning the sunscreen and dryness.
I live in FL now. I already have health issues with passing out from heat (thankfully it’s winter here now) and I have light sensitivity, so I need to buy a few sunglasses tomorrow. That tip was super helpful.
How did it go with accutane
@@alexandercruz4766 It was the best decision I ever made.
@@VictoriaVaden thank you so much girl, I’m going to go for it! 😭
@@alexandercruz4766 Good luck! I do have minor issues with my knee joints because of this, but it’s extremely minor as long as I maintain water intake like I should. Otherwise, I would do it all over again. Oh, and take it with an avocado every morning.
Took Accutane for a about 6 months. I had insanely dry skin too. I would get a bloody nose every day just because of the dryness of my pores. Also, dry/bloody stools, minor stomache aches, and agitiation. It beat acne though. Clear skin now and well worth it.

There are medical alternatives that are cheaper and safer these days..
Ben Mitchell that's great. I tried all of them... several medications, topicals, etc. and they didn't work for me personally. So I used accutane as a last resort.
Accutane is great. But it shouldn't be the first thing prescribed. If other treatments with less side effects fail Accutane is the go to option
Shayan Givehchian I agree, that's why I said I tried all the alternatives first and used accutane as last resort in my comment above^
Great review and voice .... Ever considered narrating an audiobook? Your voice would be great.
I'm actually under Accutane and I had watched your video before the treatment, I've just watched it again because it feels good to see that someone understand me and went through the same stuff. Thank you for this video bro
You’re skin looks great! Beautiful teeth, too!!
