people who haven't struggled with acne really have no idea how awful and paralyzing it is. your confidence really goes downhill it's insane. :(
... i have something called seborrheic dermatitis. Way worse than acne. Hairline hair falls out so do eyebrows dramatically . It’s basically dandruff but on the skin and there’s no cure it always there. Ugh.
@@lukewilliams4740 you’re still beautiful
@@lukewilliams4740 I just had that a couple weeks ago. I had it for months and I went to the dermatologist and they gave me stuff to clear it. So there’s a cure
I have never ever had a single pimple on my face and almost never on the rest of my body, either. And I am 19 yrs old. I do not understand that struggle but I hope that people who struggle with it learn to love themselves. And remember that you are not gonna have it forever! and you are still beautiful with acne, that does not define who you are. Also remember that even with clear skin, people still have insecurities. So we must learn to love ourselves in every stage of life. Sending lots of love!
Truee
the prettiest people have been through acne
Aww what a good mindset, thank you xx
I have severe acne that’s clearing up so fast and this made my confidence skyrocket
Thank you for motivating me 😌
for real
This boosted my confidence thank you
Bruh acne will humble you real quick! I honestly wish everybody could experience acne just once in their life bc people with clear skin don't even realize how much of their confidence lies in their appearance. Everybody will say looks don't matter that much until they got a face full of zits lol
Amen.
I’m so humbled now
Can’t help but agree 💯
YES YES YES
Sayyyy it louder for the people in the back!!
I did Accutane. My only regret is not doing it sooner.
Does that really affect your skin ???
Do you have scars? And/or ice pick scars?
@@narutosinuyasha11 Never had scars
@@Inaasnas Dries it out real bad while on it.
same !
Acne makes my confidence go:📉
Same I try to tell myself that it’s ok but it’s hard
Sorry
So crazy how acne can change your perspective about life- totally understand where you are coming from. Makes you 10x more conscious about what matters most. Thanks for sharing this Summer xxx
1000%
Yeah nothing is like having a face full of gross cystic acne on ur face. You just wanna not leave the house
i’ve had acne since i was 12 and i’m almost 17 still have to acne absolutely kills your confidence
Same here
Same
try dr bronners tea tree soap, or look up nolaskinessentials and try their products they r natural and really good on skin
Same girl except now I'm 21 and it's still here! A bit better but my skin texture will never be the same :(
Had it since I was 9... I’m 15 now and it just bothers me too look in the mirror and seeing my face look like this
When I had severe acne it makes me appreciate my clear skin that I have now. I use to freak out with mild breakouts but now it doesn’t even phase me because I had WORST acne.
For me its different I had such bad acne that hurt to wash it just genuinely touch it, so of course I went to a doctor it cleared and ever time I would get a little break out I freak out so scared it would go back to it. I was right it has 🥴✌
Same
I'm the opposite i freak out every time i have one pimple now and go all out with the spot treatment, salicylic acid cleanser and pimple patch because I'm so scared of getting bad acne again considering I worked so hard to get clear skin again. Noone talks about how hard it is to not only have acne, but be on accutane/benzoyl peroxide cream. Not only did i have acne to worry about, but literal scaly skin that peeled off
Just started accutane yesterday, kinda nervous, but ready for clear skin. I can totally relate to Summer and everyone in the comments. I’m tired of letting acne control my every waking moment. That sounds dramatic, but it’s the truth
I feel u. I started accurate recently as well (1 week ago). We’ll get through this. It’s also working for me already
@@raefmartin4919 how are u guys feeling on it so far? i’m trying it soon
@@rllonewolf also if u take it, get Vaseline for your lips. Your lips will become chapped from accutane. And drink a lot of water b/c the throat tends to get dry
@@raefmartin4919 thank you my boy
@@raefmartin4919 preciate it👍🏾
accutune is rough during the process but the results always are insane. Acne really influences people's confidence so much.
Do you have to be on birth control at the same time as accutane?
@@sabriahh4529 if you have sex yes, but if you’re abstiene, no. it can cause serious birth defects
Who else has been waiting on this premiere for the last day or two?!?!??!
totally!
Can u tell what to use on my face plz
To all the people with acne, I love you and I'm with you in this journey. We will go through this together ❤️🤍🖤
🥰 I love this comment! Thank you for the smile. 💕
Currently on adapalene, definetly not the same as accutane, but I so badly want clear skin. Here’s to anyone who is currently trying to clear their skin 💗
I’m on adapalene too and benzoyl peroxide. It cleared my skin. It took a good 6 weeks but I am so glad I found it. It did make me purge but then everything cleared up. Wishing you the best of luck!
@@laurenelizabeth2955 That's good! I'm currently on week 9 and still purging pretty badly, but I refuse to lose hope lol
I use it 2x a day. I also think the BP is a huge part of it! Stay strong!
How do u use adapalene ? Can 16 year use it
@@lilly9843 I use it only at night after using a gentle foaming cleanser. I use a small amount all over my face, wait till it settles then moisterizer. I believe ages 12 and up can use it, but definitely research/look into it. It definitely requires a lot of patience, especially if you purge
this comment section makes me feel so safe :,) i start accutane next month
omg me too!
im in week 2, it’s a rough experience so far!
@@18goingonwealthy101 really? Whats going on for you right now with it?
@@denayamayo1705 their probably experiencing dryness and redness
@@denayamayo1705 the drying is horrible but my skin has gotten slightly better, I double my dosage next month so hopefully it gets better after that.
I’m currently on it and since I started taking it I literally cried every single day multiple times a day and I’m trying to remind myself it’s just the pill talking but it’s so hard
How was ur accutane journey? Did it help?
currently in accutane for the second time, pretty low dose so it’s a long journey, I’ve had pretty bad acne most of my teenage years and I’m just. So. Sick. Of. It. I do believe it makes you reaaally humble and more sympathetic and I just wish more people were aware that it’s not a matter of “cut out fast food” and “clean your face more” shit advice. With that being said, I really enjoyed the video and I hope my face clears up one day for good!! xx
Didn't it work the first time ?
@@myrtopapageorgiou3258 the first time i didnt reach the cumulative dose needed for it to work, my mistake because I thought I did and stopped taking it🤦♀️
@@weronikaju3728 same. I have to start next month
Do you have to be on birth control at the same time
@@sabriahh4529 in my country they just say you cant get pregnant and leave it up to you to choose a way to protect yourself and not necessarily check if you do it, i was prescribed birth control pills because I asked for them
I cannot tell you how much your honesty with your acne journey has helped me with feeling less alone with it so thank you so much summer ! So happy for you :)
Summer you're such an inspiration ilysm and you taught me that I don't have to be perfect to be beautiful 16 year old girl so tysm I cannot wait for the video I'm here a whole day early... Hugs and kisses from MA!
I've literally been following u since 2015 and I love u so so much. I can tell u have grown a lot from ur experience with acne and it's so nice to see such an honest influencer. keep it up queen :*
You're so brave and i love how you embrace your imperfections, this is such an inspiration for your audience, thanks summer
our experiences are very similar and it’s reassuring to hear that i’m not the only one who felt those ways while dealing with acne, i’m still in the process but your story made me so excited! thank you for sharing it!
I followed your whole process and I seem to know how you were feeling,
I am really happy with my heart for everything to be better and to see that even at times you feel your self esteem down, you always tried not to show it and say it was ok, very proud of you !!!!! love you ❤️
i’m pretty sure accutane gave me an afro. my hair has never been this curly.
hahah that happened to one of my friends😂😂i wonder why it works that way lol
@@abbyplaia4081 ah no way haha. i’m just hoping it goes back to normal. been off accutane for 8 months now.
@@GriffinMagleby idk if this will make u feel diff in any way but u look so good with ur curly hair!!! Just try splitting ur hair in half and itll look so good. Also ur vids r so good!
@@dabestest1387 ah thanks! I’ll keep trying to make it work haha
@@GriffinMagleby be proud of your curly hair just learn how to style it on UA-cam and boom your curls will look amazing
I can't even express how proud I am of summer! I'm so happy for her, love you summer ≤3
I'm so grateful you posted this because I am just starting my accutane journey. Thanks for being so validating and authentic
so happy for you! acne is so hard to deal with, to anyone dealing with it right now: I want you to know that you are beautiful :)
Summer, you're the only one who inspires me about my confidence. It's amazing how your skin changed, I would never belive it if u didn't show it. I have struggled with blackheads and acne for many years and get low self-esteem. Continue inspiring other teenagers!💖 Love u💕
Totally love your transparency on literally all of the topics, including depression. It's a hard time we're in especially right now with everything that's been going on with the virus and quarantine. I've been following you for quite some years and I've noticed the change you've gone through a bit more recently as a youtuber and content creator at such a young age. I'm so happy to see you happier and MOTIVATED and also having realized the importance of mental health. You're so real and still one of my favorite youtubers. ✨
i loved this, i'm currently on the road to clear skin without accutane, and i totally relate to having a changed perspective due to acne. i'm the same way, i look at life and especially people very differently now. i've been going through this for five years now, so to anyone reading this who can't see the light ahead i promise your acne will get better!!! love and light xoxoxo
Did u manage to take control over acne?? I’m so scared of taking this drug
thank you for this summer. i have been watching u since u started youtube and i am so happy you have come back and been able to share a new perspective with people. i always look up to u and hearing u share this makes me look up to u more. so thank u :D. excited for the skin care routine and just to see more of u on this channel:)
I just can't help but think God is going to use this journey of yours for good. I just think of all the young women and girls who are going to feel so much more accepted and not ashamed if they are struggling with the same thing. Seeing someone like you open up and be so raw and real with this topic is amazing!
So happy you're sharing this Summer! ☺❤
this makes me so happy !! acne has such an effect on self confidence but you are glowing and i could not be happier for you !!
Can’t wait!!
No one.
Summer: making our day a trillion times better!💞
Love from a positive UTuber🥰
It feels so good to see you go through all this and become even more stronger and prettier🥺you really are an inspiration summer I love you so much ❤️❤️ can’t wait for the skin care video🙌🏻
I started watching your channel right when you began accutane, as I did too, at the same age and I found so much comfort in your videos and your voice that seemed to speaking what exactly I was feeling. You inspire me and you’ve helped me. So glad I found your channel and look forward to following your videos for much longer because I love all of your content 😊
You look gorgeous no matter what!!! So happy for how far you have come! Love you!💓
I'm on month 3 of accutane and some days it feels like my skin won't ever get better, but this video gave me so much hope. I am currently at the sate where my skin isn't purging anymore and it's calming down. I can't wait until my skin looks like yours does right now. I've had horrible skin since I was 15 and am now 22 so these past years have been really hard on me mentally. It's so crazy how your skin can hurt your mental state and it is so real! Thank you for opening up and showing us your story!! much love!!
Good luck was near same, calmed after 2 months, then just past 5 months and flared up. Biggest kick in face. Couldn't believe it but also can cos feel cursed, like it teased to get better then it laughed I'm bk. Happened so much try something, bit of hope then it comes bk. Agree whatever it is, when it's on face it destroys you mentally. I'd advise to try treat it younger & don't wait cos with each flare up it leaves damage. Otherwise you'd be me near 20 yrs of flare ups now in late 30s with mixture of acne roascea sun blemish uneven skin that heals so slow so it's constant loop of visible scabs & blotchy.
Hey did it ever clear??
Did u face extreme hairfall as side-effect cuz this is one of the most dangerous side effect i heard.
update ???
@@aqsaash it's been 16 days since I started Accutane. Just experienced dry skin as side effect and didn't purge much. Hoping to not experience any other side effects.
so happy for you!! I struggled with acne terribly as well, and luckily one year of curology was enough for me. it took a huge toll on my confidence as well, especially because it's so hard to figure out what works. I'm so happy for you summer!! glowy and healthy skin is hereeeee✨✨✨
Thank you so much for making this video its really nice to see someone who's been through accutane and their experiences, while I'm going through it right now :)
Oh my gosh thank you so much for this! I’m on accutane right now and I can relate so much to the added depression and lack of motivation it brings. It’s so weird but I’m glad you’ve been feeling better since getting off it. Thanks for all your content!!
I'm on my third month of Accutane, and I'm finally starting to clear up. Thank you so much for this!! I was following along with your Acne journey from the start and you've really helped me!
how was ur experience! how long did it take to see results?
Did u face extreme hairfall as side-effect cuz this is one of the most dangerous side effect i heard.
@@nishithareddy8742 actually, your shampoo is a big factor that contributes to hairloss. try using a gentle shampoo or washing your hair every other day. hoping a good journey for you!
so happy you finally shared this, I'm so happy for you!! I have also experienced acne and have been on accutane for 5 years now but it's come so far from when I started!! I would highly recommend to anyone who is struggling from bad acne to look into this but of course check with a health care prof first!! thanks for this vid summer!! angular cheilitis haunts me everyday, can't wait to get off of acutane but this video gave me so much hope so thank you!!!
I’m not one to comment on videos often but I just wanted to thank you for sharing your journey. I have been dealing with acne as well as eczema for a while now and it’s elevated my depression and anxiety to levels I would have never thought imaginable. Hearing your story reminded me that I’m not in this alone in this. Thank you so much
we did acutane around the same time and i’m so happy for us !!! like i didn’t think it would get better, and i didn’t think i could be happy with how i look.
u and u both had the exact same acne in the same spots so i was excited to see your journey too!!!! it’s just unreal. WOW. CONGRATS TO US BB!!!!
I hope you know how helpful this video is. I’m going on accutane next month because my mental health over my acne. 🤯😭 haven’t left the house in weeks. I can’t keep living like this!!! So I feel very hopeful after watching your video! I’m 23, but I’ve had very clear skin up until 19 years old! Praying I can one day get back to that
I still get excited seeing that you’ve posted a new video 🤗 love seeing how much you’ve grown and changed and think you are amazing!
This video makes me a little emotional because I know how much it affects mental health and confidence but it’s so nice to see you happier and more confident. You seem like yourself again which is nice to see. ❤️
my friend is in his final month of taking accutane and he constantly talks about how dry his skin is, how bad his back hurts, how his nose bleeds all the time, and all these crazy side effects! congrats on making it through!!
I can’t believe you just uploaded this.. literally going through severe acne rn🥺🥺
Thank you so much for being transparent with your journey with acne! I just started month two of accutane, and it makes me feel happy to hear you say that it'll all be worth it in the end! Not many people are comfortable talking about acne, so it's really refreshing to watch this video!
Im in month 2 too. Good luck :)
Summer I couldn’t love you anymore for this video🥺 this means the most to me
Thank you so much for what you said and the techniques it really helps ❤️ you are my fav youtuber!
I remember watching your journey starting out with accutane late last year and I was supposed to go on it around the same time as you! I got scared and didn’t end up going through with it but here I here a year later and I’m about to start my first pill this week! If only I started sooner I could’ve had clear skin by now 😩 but I’m glad I really thought it through and now I’m SO ready to start. This video came in perfect timing 😊 so happy for you!!
update?
Did u face extreme hairfall as side-effect cuz this is one of the most dangerous side effect i heard.
AHH I’ve been waiting for this one😊❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
im so happy for you summer! I've been following your acne journey since this time last year. i've also been on accutane, and i was going through a rough acne period when i found you right as you started yours. it's been so nice watching your skin improve over the past months. thanks for sharing. :)
Did u face extreme hairfall as side-effect cuz this is one of the most dangerous side effect i heard.
I was bawling my eyes out in the shower because of my skin, I’ve had acne for 3 years now and I’ve tried everything from facials, to medications, to any acne solution you could think of (and for decent amounts of time also, I know that consistency is key) this made me feel so much better about myself Summer ❤️
You know...not everyone can just show their skin imperfections like that. It’s people like you have that I’m thankful for cuz, NOBODY’S perfect! All I gotta say it, you keep slaying’ sis😌
rightt like props to her for being so real about her experiences. i could never hahah.
*I've been waiting for a loooooong time* anwys i love you more now, it feels like i'm understood by a pretty girl huhu
Omg Summer, you’re so inspirational to people we are suffering for acne, thank u for sharing how you looked and your experience, you’re so strong and the besttttt we love u!!🤍🤍
Today marks my first week on accutane after struggling with very persistent acne for years! Great time to post this video Summer, thanks! ❤
Please don't continue with Accutane. There are so many side effects. Search them online
@@katerinagal5696 i‘m sure everybody who starts accutane really did research beforehand. tbh i don‘t feel like you have the right to judge anyone for going on accutane :)
That’s amazing! I finished Accutane in September and I am so happy I did it. I still have scarring but my break outs are limited (mostly maskne)! Best of luck to you 😘
Wish you well. I was on accutane back in march of 2019 and had to stop taking it on may 15th 2019. The day I realized my health was getting compromised. I developed extreme anxiety, insomnia and depression. It was surreal. I had panic attacks a couple times a week and cried out of helplessness. I remember reading the warnings online about mental health issues undergoing this drug and I just kinda laughed it off because I was desperate to clear my cystic acne. On top of the horrific mindset I had experienced, I developed painful IBS. Like...bleeding out of my asshole cuz even my stool wasnt lubricated cuz accutane dries the body inside and out.
Did a ton of research before taking this drug and lemme tell you...This drug is poison. I remember after a mental breakdown and during a sleepless night I helplessly layed there thinking of how far I've gone to get clear skin and so much damage I had done to my body.
It took 3 solid months for the side effects to wear off. I continued nursing school 2019 of august and here I am 2020 and still have acne but I'm in a healthy mindset now.
After going to several dermatologists I have come to the conclusion that they genuinely dont care about their patients. I'm thinking of seeing an endocrinologist and do some intense blood work to see what I can do to change my lifestyle to cure my hormonal acne in a healthy fulfilling manner. Dermatologists will put you on spironolactone, antibiotics, birth control which is very harmful to the body and mind and lastly accutane the worst of them all.
Not trying to scare you I hope you have a better experience!! I sure as hell didnt! Lol!
@@katerinagal5696 every medicine has side effects , you should google the side effects of some completely simple day to day medicines because they have some scary ones without you even realising. Millions of people go on accutane as it works and can even save some people’s lives. They can continue with it if they want it’s not your place to have your say
Omg I started accutane 5.5 months ago and my skin is definitely clearing but I still have so many scars and I feel so lost sometimes. I cant wait to watch this
How is it going
@@sandrachemli7127 my dermatologist has me go off of it cause it's been 7 months. I dont breakout at all anymore but I have a lotta scars because I used to pick at my skin. I'm currently just trying to get rid of the scars and have glowing skin. Also after I went off of it my skin got oilier than while I was on it but not ad only as originally. Btw I was only taking 10mg once a day so super low dosage and I had no side effects other than dry skin
@@trinityfaye792 did it get worse before it gets good? How long does it take for u notice a good change in your skin?
@@marcelacouy8685 yes definitely got worse for a couple weeks. I'd say you see changes after 6 weeks, but the change is so gradual that I found it so hard to see differences because they were so small
i can tell how much this experience has matured u i’m so proud of u i understand what it’s like kinda cos i had mild acne all over my face and went on an antibiotic three times
Your skin is glowingggg it looks so clear!!
I remember discovering her videos after seeing her on a drama channel, I used to have the greatest and clearest skin, I got a few pimples two years ago, I picked at them constantly as an addition to my OCD, please don’t pick your skin. I cried trough out the video, acne is a real battle and a teaching to love yourself no matter what xoxo
I've been on accurate twice now and I'm so glad I went through it. It was SUPER rough but taught me so much about my self-worth and self-confidence.
Why didn't it work for the first time?
May you tell me what happens after you stop taking it
I love you Summer. No matter what you have been honest. You have challenged yourself to grow. You have taught us about self-love and confidence and I believe you have a truly beautiful heart.
Thank you for this video
, I’m currently on accutane, I feel your pain. Thank you for opening up and showing us your story! You are beautiful! Lots of love
I actually started and ended accutane around the exact same time as you, and I agree with EVERYTHING you said
The video I have been WAITING for!!!! I’m 3 weeks into my accutane journey. We are R E A D Y !!!!
good luck 🥰
any update? coz i am starting tomorrow :D on my birthday,
@@gvantsaesiava7945 yay so excited for you!!! I am on month 3 and it’s been going well! No more cystic breakouts. Just little pimples here and there. I am so happy with how I’m progressing! I am just about halfway now :) best of luck to you!
I’ve been following you along the process at social media! honey, you are beautiful inside and out!♥️
Thanks for affecting people’s lives👑
Thank you for sharing tour story 💕🥰 I always prayed that your skin would get better 🌟I’m glad it did!!!love you summer
i had cystic acne all through highschool up until now. i started accutane a month ago as a junior in college and my skin is starting to purge but watching this makes me feel so hopeful. thank you for sharing and being so honest🧡🧡🧡
Any updates? Is it better now cause I'm currently purging sooooo bad 😢
how’s your skin nowadays? how much did it help?
Did u face extreme hairfall as side-effect cuz this is one of the most dangerous side effect i heard.
This gives me hope for my acne 🤩
I can not get over how similar our experiences were and all the the things you said you gained from the experience is exactly how I see it now. I was 20 when my skin randomly broke out having never experienced anything other that a spot here or there. Experiencing severe acne was a massive struggle, mentally and physically and originally I was afraid of accurate, but it’s what cleared my skin too. So glad to see you out the other side. Feels like forever when you’re in it but it really does come to an end❤️
Thank you for your important testimony and for describing your experience and putting a light on the importance of staying good on the inside first!! That is so true!!
Waiting for this for soooo long!! Such a good example thank you 🤍
dude im on accutane now and only 30mg!! I'm having the same issues with back pain, joint pain, and dry skin. regardless, accutane is so worth it. also, i totally understand feeling so defeated when you have bad acne, i always feel so insecure about myself when i have bad breakouts. I think more people should be open about their struggles with their skin and acne so thanks for making this!
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO YES
Definitely our mental health is very important. I admire you for being strong despite the state that you've gone through and please do continue to do so. I loveeee youuu so much and I do keep support you always💞
Your acne journey has helped me so much 🥺 I struggle from really bad hormonal acne and bad hyperpigmentation all over my chin. I was on curology for 2 months and my skin got 10x worse... I finally went to a derm I’m on the same medicine your first derm gave you (Spironolactone) and differin gel every night. this is week 2 and I’m praying my skin starts to clear up. thank you for being so open about this ❤️
MY CHEST GETS RED WHEN I GET FIRED UP TOO! (or when i’m super nervous or anxious) so glad i’m not the only one lol.
Omg!!!! I was so excited for this video! And finally is out!
Finally someone that talks about this without any shyness or something else...! 😘🥰
But anyway, love you so much! You’re an inspiration to me (i am actually living this 🤭😢)
Her skin is glowing and her hair is amazing. So happy for her
I started Accutane this past August and my skin is just now starting to really clear up! I haven’t had a breakout in almost 3 weeks! Seriously one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Less than 3 months to go!
Can’t wait for this video I’m on Accutane and would love to hear about your experience!
Hey hv a doubt so if pepl with constant acne can do accutene? Shud we see doctor? Will it work?
@@femijoseph9130 Yh persistent acne that does not respond to other treatments can go on Accutane to clear it up at least that’s what happened to me first time around
thank you for posting this! You look fantastic by the way!!!
Omg I was waiting so long for this video
This is insane I am on the exact same timeline as you. Had pretty much clear skin my whole life and then in August started randomly breaking out and it’s progressively gotten worse since. I’ve tried so many topicals from my derm and went on doxycycline for a month and if it doesn’t clear up by end of November, I’m probably going to go on accurate. Thank you for this video!!
Ok I’m scared because this is literally me too LOL we all really out here living the same life
I just finished 4 months of doxycycline and it didn’t work for me so I’m going on accutane next week but I hope you see better results than I did!
THE SMILE LINES! I thought I was the only one
I've been waiting for thiiss 🥺 finally
im a bit older than you summer but i witnessed your sadness back then and it was heartbreaking. you got thru it and came out to the other side more beautiful and stronger. so, it was a life lesson on things that matter, and to let you know that how you feel ALWAYS come first than materialistic and superficial things in life.
xoxo
thank you so much! i have the exact same acne, u give me hope💘💘
I've always struggled with acne, but when I was 18-21, I experienced TERRIBLE cystic acne just like yours! I went on accutane (40mg) for five months when I was 20, and it didn't clear up until I was 22. It was exhausting and so mentally challenging to not want to walk down the street near my college in fear that someone would look at me. I had coworkers asking me if I had tried washing my face, children would ask what was wrong with my face, etc.
Thank you for sharing your struggle with this.
Luckily my skin is mostly clear now! I tried SO many skincare products and routines, which just adds to the "Have you tried washing your face?" insult!
i love you Sums you are such a example and you are so inspiring!
Wow so happy for you sums!! You are glowing inside and out now✨I’m on my last month of Accutane, I truly understand your journey thanks for sharing xoxo
Love u for sharing this!!!
I was also on accutane and just got off last month. I really felt you on the last bit when you said how being in the bad state may lead you to being unkind to others as well as yourself. I definitely struggled mentally during the process and regret some things I said and how I reacted to things as well, but I would also say I wish I had some support from friends. If you know anyone on accutane, try to be there for them and try not to take everything that they say literally bc most of the time they have a difficult time filtering their thoughts and emotions (at least I did).
I’ve been so self conscious about my skin for years and two months ago I finally started accutane!! It still has not improved much but I know to be patient with it to see results so I cannot wait for when that time comes! Thank you for being so open about this. It helps me a lot knowing that other people are going through what I’m going through too!
Did it work ?
Such an inspiring video! I love you Summer!
