Jeez, Dr Dray, I wouldn’t wanna get you annoyed or angry at me! You are my motivation for putting on sunscreen every day cuz I think if I don’t, Dr Dray is gonna be mad at me or give me serious eye roll! 😀😀😀
Accutane changed my life. I was on it as a teenager 20 or so years ago. I was already really depressed and it did make my depression worse, but I didn’t tell my dermatologist. I was scared and embarrassed as a teenager. It was a difficult time in my life. I am so thankful for my dermatologist.
Took Accutane back in 2007 in grade 9 for 8 months and my skin is still clear. I do get a pimple or two at times but after a few weeks they disappear. There's no cure for acne, however, Accutane is the closest to one.
I really hope you do a video about life after Accutane, how to know if it has “cured” acne, are there signs that indicate it will come back, what to expect after six months, a year, etc… TY
I had cystic acne until I went on Roaccutane in my mid thirties (20 years ago). Have never had a cyst since and also have never had thrush since either! I wish I had gone on it earlier, it was offered to me in my early twenties but I declined it through fear of the side effects and also didn’t realise acne is a chronic condition that I wouldn’t grow out of. So, by the time I had treatment, I had had cystic acne for more than 20 years. Now as I approach my 60’s, I’m dealing with the scarring which will cost me tens of thousands after it’s all said and done. Beauty standards are hard for most people, but if your face is full of scars it is very difficult psychologically. Makeup doesn’t cover them, it almost accentuates them. Some people would say I still have “acne” because I still have a lot of sebum but it’s manageable with products such as tretanoin creams. After dealing with the scars, I might get some advice and go back on a low dose. Acne is a terrible and chronic disease for which effective treatments are now readily available. The sooner you get treated, the fewer scars to deal with later. The drug has been around for a long time now. Whilst you are receiving treatment, you will be monitored extensively to be cautious.
My brother was on it in the late 80s. I remember how red his face got and how dry it got, but he also had bad cystic acne so i guess for him, the side effects were worth it. He's now in his early 50s and never had a breakout since using Accutane. His face looks quite nice even now.
Im 55 now and was on accutane twice in my early 20s. The first course cleared me up for about a year but then my acne came back and my derm put me on it again and that cleared it up for good. The only side effect I got was a little bit of dry skin around my nose. My family doctor tried everything under the sun to clear me up for years with zero results. Accutane was the last resort and for me it was a lifesaver.
Accutane is the most AMAZING acne medication ever!! There is a small percentage of people that may need to take it more than once. Yes your skin gets dry but when you have full blown cystic acne and other forms of acne it is a good medicine. Also, most people with severe acne already have depression so it is possible that it may exacerbate but how would you really know. I was on oral antibiotics for over 10 years and it was so difficult to get it. In addition doctors were afraid that I would get pregnant which is understandable however no one was ever remotely interested so that was never a problem but I get it though because people don’t tell the truth!🤣
Thats why you get it online illegally lol that’s what i did and also for a friend. We were responsible and still did our blood tests plus it was about 95% cheaper
It's not just your skin that gets dry though (eyeballs and vaginas if you have that) and the depression when you're already susceptible to low moods and depression episodes it's not really an ideal situation.
@@jclyntoledoIsotreti is not supposed to make you go from 🍳 to 🐊.

I' ve been sending my customers (I' m a MUA) to my derm for about 20 years and no matter how extreamly severe the case is. He prescribes a maximum of 10 mgs/day.

All they experience is a skin that becomes moderately oily without lesions, not even normal or normal-to-dry, such a win-win: no acne, no side effects✨
I had to find a dermatologist that would specifically give me accutane to finally get on the medication and never have to deal with acne again ! I understand that there are drawbacks with this medication that are stronger than with other drugs but it swirls really well for most people. Taking accutane was the best decision I made along with getting braces to fix my teeth, I hate when people are discouraged from doing the best thing for their health because of one bad case

Accutane works differently on every individual. I’m sharing this in the hopes my comment can be somewhat helpful. Please be careful because accutane DID NOT WORK for me. My skin got WORSE! And by worse I literally mean, I went from having very moderate pimple to huge cystic acne. And no, it’s not purging. I was on accutane for about a year, but every single day my skin just got worse. I was with a very well known dermatologist in my country, and I still regret it. I went to him because I started getting 3-4 pimples due to the mask because of Covid. And that dermatologist put me on accutane, my biggest mistake what not researching about the medication before taking it, that’s because I know that dermatologist so well. And after that, my acne got worse to the point that I stopped accutane myself and I change my dermatologist. Please take note, the acne I had while I was accutane left me very very deep intense atrophy scars. And if y’all know, atrophy scars don’t go away unless we do a laser. Please be mindful before taking accutane, cause I regret it. I don’t get acne like last time but my skin is filled with the scars from it and it won’t go away. Please, I really wish I would’ve let be since the start. So please be very careful
Aww, sad to hear that. I was having really bad aftermath when I took oratane on the 1st mo, then I changed my doc, I was put on higher dose together with antibiotic for 10days on my 2nd month and another 10 days when I started 3rd mo. If you can, try to change doctor with a vast experience on treating acne using isotretinoin. All the best and may we all heal from this sickness 🙏
@@CologneMarcel yes, it is true. unless you have hormonal acne, accutane is a permanent solution for acne. i didn’t say you will never experience pimples again, i said you won’t experience acne
It’s not complicated. It is just a fat soluble vitamin and you just need to watch that you take it with food and the absorption rate. Other than that it does not need to be strictly controlled by every government agency created by men.
@@joannecendana I don’t blame you at all!!! For what it’s worth though I’ve been taking spironolactone for a couple years and that has really worked well to prevent pimples😊
i had also 2 round of Accutane and that ruined my life after using this pills my digestion disrupted and i got chronic diarrhea and now im dying slowly thinking about Suicide now and also the acne comeback again even more worse this medicine is the poison
Probably the peanut butter craze, that now only almond butter is seen as healthy. Just my guess. Personally, I look only if palm oil and sugar are in it or not. Taste-wise - cashew butter wins ;)
Why does no dermatologist tell you this?? I told the dermatologist I had digestive issues on accutane and they immediately took me off. Didn't even tell me about the fat stuff.
Dr Dray, no professional informed my daughter who had complications, thus scarring. The whole matter was a mess, badly handled. Not every provider is totally invested in the patient.
Accutane also causes MGD, in a lot of cases irreversible. Do you have any experience helping patients with this condition? Do not want to quit Accutane, but suffering with dry eye due to meibomien glad atrophy or discomfort is not a joke. 🙏
I had really bad cystic and nodular acne and accutane saved my skin.I have minimal scaring with some red marks but that is nothing infront of the amount of acne i had
You are awesome Dr Dray and I always appreciate your info and advice but the eye roll and that throws me off a lot. I know it’s in a joking way but I feel like it’s a little in the ‘disrespecting side’. Just my opinion. You’re great
My Derm said to take it in the morning (even had that in caps on the box) but I decided to take it straight after my main (most substantial) meal instead as I only have toast and tea in the morning! 😎✌🏼
I was taking accutane everyday for 6 months and it saved my skin! My derm has me taking it 3x/week now and referred me back to my MD. I think he mentioned that I can take it 3x, and eventually 1-2x/week indefinitely 🧐 is this safe?
Thanks, about to start accutane In a few weeks, nice to know. Just in case my derm don’t say anything about eating fatty foods. Also, trying to gain a little weight to this should be a win win
I don't remember if I did this when I took it. I don't remember being told this and it worked for me. Interesting I believe you Dr.Dray but this seems like new news to me.
Im in Vancouver and after years of my family doctor trying everything, she finally sent me to a dermatologist and he put me on it. Best thing for me as I had no side effects and cleared me up for good. This was in the 1990s so not sure if attitudes toward Accutane has changed.
I've read that in rare cases people took a dose of 240mg for months and it did nothing. I'd be more interested about what the root cause of a relapse is
@@hhhjj5795 I understand that everyone is different and it can maybe not work as effectively to some, but hang in there-please keep remaining positive. It took 9 months at least for me for there to be any sort of change at all, I was actually put on accutane for longer than I was originally supposed to be on it for my age , they wanted to give me a last little bit of hope in case there was any more change, was put on it for an extra 2 months or so and in the last few weeks my skin transformed. It was a miracle lol. All the best to you and your journey💕💕💕
I took accutane for three months. went from not knowing what a headache was to have severe ones, as well as increased negative depression like thoughts. doctor told me to cut the pills since the headaches were a sign of a dangerous side effect. My acne came back 3 times worse later on. Now just using water to wash my face and watching what I eat, my skin got way better!! The caveman routine was the way to go for me💪
@memoonasaeed4408 my severe migraines and lightheaded feeling went away after I stopped taking the acutane. Unfortunately my hair line is still receding. And my acne came back to bite me but at least I don't feel like shit. It's like a 40 minute drive to my college, I almost wreaked a couple times with how bad I was feeling and he's still pushing for the accutane even though I had other issues going on as well like the cysts on my ovaries and the massive mood swings I had for months, the 2 to 3 weeks of bleeding each month and yet not a single doctor will take me seriously u get told it's normal.
I took accutane for 4 months, (I was originally supposed to be on it for 6 months but the doctor had to take me off of it because I was in a really dark place). Mind you I never had ANY suicidal thoughts or depression before I started taking this drug. I had a lot of side effects like depression, dry lips/nose, irritability/anger etc. But I also had extreme suicidal thoughts. Not only that but I also had thoughts about killing other people. Once I got off the medication, most of the side effects went away but the depression and anger still lingered. My skin IS clear but if I had a time machine I would go back in time and never let my self start this medication, it’s not worth it.
Have you tried low dose yet? I did 2 normal rounds and now about to take low dose for years to make sure severe acne will never come back 😭 It always comes back after I stop
@@chibio1255 yes I have been on low dose for over 7 years now (with a few breaks). For the most part it works great though I do get breakouts sometimes.
I quit because I felt like shit while taking accutane, the worst kinda shit tbh. Constant mood swings, migraines, my derm keeps pushing for it for some reason even though I really didn't feel well.
Im on Isotretinoin for the second time in my life now and can’t agree more! I also got horrible side effects if I took it with low fat food. With high fat meals suddenly the headaches and nausea were gone.
Guys I am begging you, if you dermatologist is recommending accutane, please understand the side effects. If there is a history of stroke in your family, please I strongly recommend not to take any birth control pills or accutane. I have used accutane for 10 days and it messed be up. Guess what I had more pimples than with what I went to the doctor. Please guys, don’t put your skin through that shit. My lips had become so dry, they started bleeding way too much
I had to take it for a little over a year because, even though I barely had any side effects from it (basically only dry skin) and very stable blood work, my skin was incredibly stubborn and slow to change, but eventually, it did. So far, I’m keeping my skin routine game up, and I avoid dairy products. After all this time, my skin is still clean.
Irresponsible to say that accutane doesn’t work if you take it on an empty stomach..? It is literally a factual truth, how is a factual truth “irresponsible”? It sounds like your son had some kind of poor reaction to accutane, in which case it has NOTHING to do with what Dr. Dray was talking about here.
Dr. Dray, you’re the best! You’re super strait forward in the most lovely and palatable way. Thank you for being one of the few people on the internet willing to call out the b@lls#it.
How did it damange it?? My dermatologist keeps asking me to take it. She says we have to do something stronger like accutane for my acne. I only get it on my chin. I
In general if men could just stop telling women how to have ovaries that would be great. I cannot count how many times I have giving people advice about their testicles but it has been one too many times.
I have been on Accutane for about 7 months and I take 30 mg/day. I take it twice a day after a high fat meal. I have had no side effects except slightly drier lips than before. My skin has not become dry at all. I still get little pimples here and there but they go away after a few days. I worry that the dosage is too low for me, as I have none of the usual side effects and still break out a little every now and then, even though I am already on the 7th month. I have spoken to my doctor about these concerns, but he says that a higher dosage would increase the risks and that my skin has cleared up a lot, and that is all that matters. Is it normal not to have any side effects? Does this mean that the medication is not working?
I took a low daily dose for a longer time period. As my Derm explained to me, it’s the overall amount that you take that matters. I experienced very few side affects. My skin is still very clear almost 20 years later. But everyone is different so it’s impossible to predict your individual results.

It took 9 months at least for me for there to be any sort of change at all, I was actually put on accutane for longer than I was originally supposed to be on it for my age , they wanted to give me a last little bit of hope in case there was any more change, was put on it for an extra 2 months or so and in the last few weeks my skin transformed. It was a miracle lol.
All the best to you and your journey💕💕💕
Taking a medication that permanently alters your physiology just because of bad teenage acne is insane
I took accutane for three months. went from not knowing what a headache was to have severe ones, as well as increased negative depression like thoughts. doctor told me to cut the pills since the headaches were a sign of a dangerous side effect. My acne came back 3 times worse later on. Now just using water to wash my face and watching what I eat, my skin got way better!! The caveman routine was the way to go for me💪
I'm going through same, i got headaches hairloss joint pains dry eyes after isotretinoin. My acne is back but side effects still persist
@memoonasaeed4408 my severe migraines and lightheaded feeling went away after I stopped taking the acutane. Unfortunately my hair line is still receding. And my acne came back to bite me but at least I don't feel like shit. It's like a 40 minute drive to my college, I almost wreaked a couple times with how bad I was feeling and he's still pushing for the accutane even though I had other issues going on as well like the cysts on my ovaries and the massive mood swings I had for months, the 2 to 3 weeks of bleeding each month and yet not a single doctor will take me seriously u get told it's normal.
I took accutane for 4 months, (I was originally supposed to be on it for 6 months but the doctor had to take me off of it because I was in a really dark place). Mind you I never had ANY suicidal thoughts or depression before I started taking this drug. I had a lot of side effects like depression, dry lips/nose, irritability/anger etc. But I also had extreme suicidal thoughts. Not only that but I also had thoughts about killing other people. Once I got off the medication, most of the side effects went away but the depression and anger still lingered. My skin IS clear but if I had a time machine I would go back in time and never let my self start this medication, it’s not worth it.
what was ur dosage?
Wtf is up with the faces?!
I wonder too
Its like she is on drugs. So overboard???
I did 5 rounds and always took it with high fat food 😭
Probably your acne is hormonal ..
@@soully2609 all acne is hormonal!
Have you tried low dose yet? I did 2 normal rounds and now about to take low dose for years to make sure severe acne will never come back 😭 It always comes back after I stop
@@chibio1255 yes I have been on low dose for over 7 years now (with a few breaks). For the most part it works great though I do get breakouts sometimes.
Cringe overload
Accutane made me go crazy 😔 I had to stop and still have terrible acne 😣
You give me FRED vibes with all the faces😂
I quit because I felt like shit while taking accutane, the worst kinda shit tbh. Constant mood swings, migraines, my derm keeps pushing for it for some reason even though I really didn't feel well.
it causes chronic dry eye as well
Im on Isotretinoin for the second time in my life now and can’t agree more! I also got horrible side effects if I took it with low fat food. With high fat meals suddenly the headaches and nausea were gone.
Guys I am begging you, if you dermatologist is recommending accutane, please understand the side effects. If there is a history of stroke in your family, please I strongly recommend not to take any birth control pills or accutane. I have used accutane for 10 days and it messed be up. Guess what I had more pimples than with what I went to the doctor. Please guys, don’t put your skin through that shit. My lips had become so dry, they started bleeding way too much
Don't give medical advice. Your derm sucks for not telling you that purging is normal lol. You described nothing abnormal
I had to take it for a little over a year because, even though I barely had any side effects from it (basically only dry skin) and very stable blood work, my skin was incredibly stubborn and slow to change, but eventually, it did.
So far, I’m keeping my skin routine game up, and I avoid dairy products. After all this time, my skin is still clean.
Take it with food, Fish oil and 20 oz of water.
From meeting 1 brain celled peeps
Look up rancid Fish oil and skin cancer studies. There is scientific studies about the effects.
I love this woman 😅
That's why there's soja in regular isotret nowadays
I believe you!
Please stop rolling your eyes
Is it ok to take food just after taking the tablet? Thank you for your advices
I’ve never taken nor needed to take Acutane. But I feel properly lectured now. I promise to eat more avocado’s and almond butter from now on.
Can I take accutane as well as collagen suppliment
It messed up my son in more ways than one. It didn't fail because he didn't take it with food. I feel like this is kind of irresponsible to say that.
Irresponsible to say that accutane doesn’t work if you take it on an empty stomach..? It is literally a factual truth, how is a factual truth “irresponsible”? It sounds like your son had some kind of poor reaction to accutane, in which case it has NOTHING to do with what Dr. Dray was talking about here.
Best time to take Accutane morning and night??
Can you do a video on MelanoTan2… i recently purchased it and wanted to know you’re thought before i use it
I thought accutane was banned by the FDA
Great short video, Dr Dray!!!! Thanks a lot!!!🙏🌟🦋
Dr. Dray, you’re the best! You’re super strait forward in the most lovely and palatable way. Thank you for being one of the few people on the internet willing to call out the b@lls#it.
Isotretinoin is permanent solution for pimple plz Dr reply me
Can you recommend the best treatment for acne scars
Isotretinoin accutane is permanent solution for pimple acne plzz reply dr😢
Did you take it?
Those expressions are terror
I was taking it with Prednisona at breakfast, when I ran out of prednisona I have pusyules an cysts now, the wordt acne I've ever had :(
I took it 3 times and my dermatologist never told me this 😭😭 this could’ve saved me so much time
It damaged my skin. I wish I never took that shit.
How did it damange it?? My dermatologist keeps asking me to take it. She says we have to do something stronger like accutane for my acne. I only get it on my chin. I
That would’ve been nice to know before taking it…………………
In general if men could just stop telling women how to have ovaries that would be great. I cannot count how many times I have giving people advice about their testicles but it has been one too many times.
doctor ,I wanna ask if I can use vitamine E on my face while I am taking accutane medicin or not?
speak to your dermatologist.
Why so loud
After the ipledge thing i forgot about this rule omg 😭😭😭😭 IVE BEEN SELF SABOTAGING
Love Dr. Dray. She is the best
this is the other side of dray that i had ever seen 🙈.I always look at her calm tone and expression before
Wtf they need to tell you this!!
I took my accutane with a spoonful of PB every time, but alas, the acne came back. Hormonal acne too strong 🥴😅
I have always found Peanut butter to make me extra oily.
I have been on Accutane for about 7 months and I take 30 mg/day. I take it twice a day after a high fat meal. I have had no side effects except slightly drier lips than before. My skin has not become dry at all. I still get little pimples here and there but they go away after a few days. I worry that the dosage is too low for me, as I have none of the usual side effects and still break out a little every now and then, even though I am already on the 7th month. I have spoken to my doctor about these concerns, but he says that a higher dosage would increase the risks and that my skin has cleared up a lot, and that is all that matters.
Is it normal not to have any side effects? Does this mean that the medication is not working?
I took a low daily dose for a longer time period. As my Derm explained to me, it’s the overall amount that you take that matters. I experienced very few side affects. My skin is still very clear almost 20 years later. But everyone is different so it’s impossible to predict your individual results.
@ Deena u stayed on antibiotics 10 years straight before you went on accutane?
Can you make z video on difference between tretnojn and isotretnoin (aka acutane)?
Can take it for only 3 months initially and if I’m traveling for the other 3 months will the break in between my treatment stop the effect?
Why you talk like that
Does anyone know how much accutane costs monthly without insurance
Shit I eat afterwards lol I am always in a rush I never really ate before anyways
I just took my first dose (40 mg). How long does it take to start working?? Also should I cut out all my of acne face and body washes?
love your vibe in the shorts so much
Stop pulling faces if I was you
Does it matter if I don’t include as much fatty food?
My dermatologist only told me to take it with food he never said anything about about fat
My derm did
Will isotretinoin stop working ifi miss it for 3 days
