I’m going on Accutane in about 3 weeks and I’m so excited, but nervous at the same time. I have struggled with painful cystic acne on my cheeks and chin, as well as chest acne. I’ve tried everything and this is my last resort. Watching your videos has helped me understand more about Accutane and its pros and cons. Thank you for documenting your Accutane progress! It has really helped!
claire strubberg I’m on day 5 of Roaccutane, I’ve suffered from acne on me face, neck, chest and back for 10 years and I’m so glad I’m finally on the right path but the chapped lips are doing my head in already 😂
claire strubberg I so hope it works for you! My sons struggled with acne as did my husband and I hate it for you guys. It’s such a rough thing to deal with. Differn gel has really helped my 20 year old son. I just learned about it so I had him try it. As a parent you hate to see your kids struggle and I’m glad they worked for him. I didn’t want him to have to try accurate if we could avoid it.
xTaylor x maybe I’ll try that when watching his videos. I can never really get into his channel cause he talks sooo fast and is so hyper and I feel like I’ve ran a marathon by the end of his videos. 😂😂
I know I’ve seen someone else say this, but I love when you wear looks without false lashes. It makes you so much more relatable and more realistic to what most of us look like on a daily basis. You just look gorgeous and real.
I went on Accutane about 4 years ago while I was in high school. After trying every acne product on the market, my dermatologist decided it was time to try it. It was a LIFE CHANGER however that was not many videos on UA-cam on what to use/buy when it comes to side effects. I got extremely dry skin during that time and tried so many products. This video is going to be extremely beneficial to those on it or about to start. Great video, new subscriber here!
That aquaphor healing ointment is in my house 100% of the time. It's INCREDIBLE for burns, even sun burn (no open wounds though, obviously), and it helped heal my tattoos with zero scabbing. Zero. Incredible product.
Starting Accutane in 2 weeks! I’m 25. I had the normal teenage acne here and there, then my skin was beautiful up until the last 2 years. It’s become cystic and painful all on the bottom half of my face. I’ve tried all the treatments, antibiotics, topicals, you name it. Accutane is my last resort but I’m actually excited at this point. Hoping for the best! People truly do not understand how much it negatively impacts your mental health, social life, and confidence. I will post updates if anyone wants to follow... maybe one day I will post a video of all my before and hopefully “after!!” Pictures. Thank you Tay! Been following you for 10 years ❣️☺️
@@ridamansoor9561omg i forgot i commented on this! It’s completely gone now. Last summer it was completely gone too but my skin was very sensitive to the sun for the first time. But this summer I was fine! I don’t know the last time I had a “big” zit or breakout. I occasionally have a really small one but it’s gone quick and like really small that it’s no problem covering with makeup or even tinted moisturizer. I can actually wear tinted moisturizer and some powder and feel confident about my skin now!! Basically all my dark spots that I had are gone. I just turned 28 October 1st. I remember running to put on my makeup anytime anyone showed up to the door and not wanting to go anywhere even with makeup and now I don’t even think about it or hardly do a full face anymore. My skin is more normal/dry so I’ve switched to more “dewy” light weight foundations and cream products for the first time in my life! It was very worth it and I have no regrets and am so happy I did it!
I don't have acne. I hardly ever wear make-up, especially not foundation. But these videos you do are soooo beneficial to people who just aren't sure where to start sometimes. You do such a wonderful job in sharing and telling people what you learned. Thank you!
I am being put on accutane next month and the first thing I did after leaving my dermatologist was come to your videos! I have been a long time fan and am so grateful for your content!
Hi Taylor!! I’m 18 and I’ve been suffering from acne since around the 3rd grade and it’s really taken a toll on my self confidence over the years. It’s gotten a tiny bit better, but I have a lot of scarring and I struggle a lot with makeup because nothing seems to look good on my skin, at least I really think so. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a makeup artist struggle with acne or any other if any skin issues like I have so it’s really discouraging to not be able to relate to anyone in the makeup community. However, I recently started watching you and you’ve helped me try to get into makeup again and take care of my skin a lot better than I used to. I support you so much. Much love!!! ❤️
I JUST finished accutane and I started a little after you did. I can't lie I have used almost all the recommendations you have given and they have saved my skin. I appreciate that you did this because I had no idea where to start and I'm sure your followers and others will love these tips. ❤❤❤
Thanks girl I am a medical esthetician, I’m going to send a few of my regular clients to your videos for the advice❤️I hate having my clients on super expensive spa grade products while on accutane because in my opinion it’s a waste unless it’s a very soothing mask for once a week and I’m not versed on drugstore as much as I would like to be❤️😘I recommend not as expensive products and soothing and hydrating facial treatments as often as needed but keeping it simple is very good advise
@@indigo_dreamz Cleared my skin up in a 6-7 month treatment. Very minimal side affects. Lots of dry skin, and body aches. I have a simple skin care routine and I rarely get a pimple. When I do its totally manageable. Made me more confident and comfortable in my skin. I would recommend from my experience.
I'm so glad you mentioned the FAB Ultra Repair Cream. That is my holy grail! I discovered it while I was on accutane two years ago. I haven't looked back. Luckily the smell isn't very bothersome to me. I works great on the face too!
I've said it multiple times before but I'll say it again -- you're skin looks amazing !! The medication you used has done a fabulous job of clearing your skin up and your demeanor has become more lively. You're beautiful young lady -- inside and out !!
Taylor! I started your recommended regimen 2 weeks before i started accutane and it was the best thing i could have done. You saved me so much discomfort! Your videos have made me love skincare and makeup again and as an acne prone person i never thought that would happen. Much love!
The cerave moisturizing cream in the big tub is also excellent for body and face. Great for sensitive skin, dry skin, eczema and a little more affordable than the cerave cream with the pump or the renewing face cream. I love the feel on the skin, leaves no residue, instantly helps dryness. Love it.
I'm 53 and considering Accutane since nothing else has worked. Your videos have really helped me think I could actually do it-----your skin is beautiful!
I realize this is an older video, but I haven't seen them until now. I am so happy for you, that you've found something that works for your cystic acne. I feel certain your video series has been helpful to others. You do a great job sharing your story. Kudos to you!
I wish I had this when I was on accurate. Sadly, I was in the 30%, so I was on it for 3 times it total before I gave up. What has since saved my skin has been monthly facials, and eminence organic skin care. Super effective, results oriented and worth every penny. It has literally saved my skin. They have a great rose hip CE oil and I swear by their red currant spf, and their clear skin line. It had transformed my skin now. So glad! I love watching your videos. Keep up the great work!!
Just bought literally every single product that you talked about 🤣 I start accutane October 18th! Trying to get ahead of the dryness!! Thanks for all your great recommendations and reviews- makes it easy for us!
Wow, that lip colour on you.........perfection! I've been here since well before Accutane, and I'm so happy for you and you and your transformation. Your videos have always been so helpful to me in my own acne/skin/makeup/accutane journey, so thank you, thank you so much. Keep doing what you do Bae(rito!) xxx
hopefully gonna be starting accutane soon. i can’t wait. it sounds so stupid to let acne hold you back from life but in reality it does. i’ve struggled for 7 years.. so happy for you though taylor! looking beautiful as always ❤️
Wow Taylor I’ve been here for your whole journey. I am so incredibly happy for you. It was I think your 3 month update that totally kicked my ass to finally find another dermatologist again to finally get rid of my own acne. We finally found something that’s working on me. Thank you for making these videos Taylor. They have helped me greatly xoxo
I am so thrilled that you had a much better experience than others. I love watching you, you are hands down my favorite UA-camr and to be honest I admire your work ethic. I don’t know what your life is like off the camera but watching you helps me so much so thanks for being you and doing all of this. 💜
first I want to thank you for all your videos that you take this time out for all of us. I especially want to thank you for the Dermacol site on foundation you did. I ordered the shade 207 so awesome a tad too light so I ordered the 209 it arrived yesterday. I mixed the 2 together. You should see my face , I cannot belive it is me staring back at me in the mirror. The 2 shades mixed together is a perfect color for me. I also ordered the SIgna f 80 brush from Norstrom. So love it works so beautifully with the Dermacol. I also ordered the Dermacol gold anti aging . The make up glides on so beautfully, I also ordered the Dermacol powder that sets everything . I feel so good about myself it like I had a face lift my face looks so fresh & new I do not know how I can ever thank you I am 68 & feel young again hugs ( Judy )
Glad these worked for you Taylor! I went on Accutane in 2016 and I used some of the products you mentioned: Aquaphor, CeraVe hydrating cleanser. Instead of the night cream and the daily moisturizer I used the CeraVe PM and AM facial moisturizers. Seriously drink a toooooonnnnnn of water and don’t touch your skin or apply any unnecessary products. I used Kat Von D Lock-it foundation in light 44 (1 pump facial lotion to 1 pump foundation) and that worked for me. Unfortunately my acne seems to be hormone related. Stayed clear after Accutane, maybe due to the fact I was on birth control. However the last 4-5 months I’m breaking out again, not as bad as before but I’m my opinion still not great, because my husband and I are trying for a baby. Good luck everyone going on an Accutane journey. Remember this is only temporary, you can get through it. I plan to go on another round after a baby and breast feeding. Pray for my skin and for a baby!! Lol
I don't have problematic skin but still watch every single one of your videos, including this one. You gave some great recommendations and I am sure you are helping a lot of girls with these videos! xo
Is it weird that I am so excited for you?? I am so super happy you had success with this medication. You always had such a good outlook when dealing with your skin.
Target carries La Roche Posay - the SPF mentioned here. Watch for the cartwheel sometimes you can save 25% off or buy one get one half!! Great savings tip!
I use the Aquaphor for my face, lips, under eyes, and everything to do with my body skin. Several years ago I had surgery on my back and the doctor said NO antibiotics NO nothing except Aquaphor. That was my first big experience with the product and I was shocked at how well I healed, how fast I healed, no infection, and the lack of scaring. I use Aquaphor as body lotion (even though it's like vaseline in texture - it soaks in) in place of the First Aid cream which I found wasn't strong enough and didn't moisturize as well - Aquaphor lasts for hours and so you save money in the long run. Aquaphor is great for everything. Best place to buy Aquaphor is CVS when you have a coupon and/or a sale OR of course Amazon. I'm never without it. There are tubs of it stashed in most rooms of the house and of course in my purse. They even have Aquaphor Baby now as well. BTW - I LOVE your naked eye look with the red lipstick. Outstanding.
I’m on my first month of accutane and I have found your tips so incredibly helpful. I’ve been on the medication for about 3 weeks and I’m already noticing a difference. After 2 days, my lips were on the verge of bleeding. Aquaphor is the only that has helped and it’s so good. I also just placed an amazon order with the water bottles, spf, and another bottle of heliocare. I also love the cerave cleanser and the moisturizer it’s so good
Never been on Accutane, but I have chronically dry and extremely acne prone skin. I bought The Ordinary rosehip seed oil and the CeraVe hydrating cleanser & skin renewing night cream because of your videos and my skin has never been so happy!
Just wanted to throw out there that if you have a ragweed allergy you should pay attention if you start taking the milk thistle supplement. They're in the same family and you can essentially be triggering inflammation and allergy response in yourself by taking it. (So is chamomile, and echinacea.) Doesn't happen to everyone so this isn't some scare monger thing, just watch for persistent headaches after taking, swollen joints, or strange itchy splotches.
Omg thank you girl I need this video literally started roaccutane 5 days ago. I’ve suffered bad acne on my face, neck, chest and back for 10 years and your videos really helped me on making the decision to go on roaccutane or accutane as you call it in the us, I really hope that I get the results that you did
I’m getting ready to be put on accutane. I took it over 10 years ago and it worked amazingly. My face is awful, so hopefully it will work again. Going to take some of your advice in this video!!
I have finished accutane this April, my skin was so stubborn I had to take it for a little longer than 6 months I took it for over 8 months, but it was so worth it at the end. I feel like people demonize accutane so much ( like a lot of other things) on the internet , sure it is a serious drug but if it is your last option I would say go for it. My dryness was concentrated in my eyes and sinuses. My eczema didn't flare up. My anxiety was not affected either. Other than those and my dermatologist's bad products recommendations it was a good experience.
I'm about to start Roaccutane (Accutane) and it occurred to me that I don't know the first thing about caring for skin even remotely close to dry. This video is so helpful! Thank you.
I picked up the Cerave cleanser after watching on of you Accutane videos. I struggle with dry skin and it has literally saved my skin. I’m no longer getting dry itchy patches and my skin feels so smooth after using it. Thank you for the recommendation!
I’m so happy for you, Taylor! I really wish I had UA-cam when I went through my accutane journey (and my daughters). I use a lot of these products still to this day and it’s been at least 7 years since I took it, still great skin!
Even as someone who's never been on acne meds, this is helpful to me, because I have super dry, sensitive skin. I get cracked lips in the wintertime, so I'm always on the hunt for products that work and treat/prevent it. Also: non-drying cleansers are a lifesaver. Thanks for putting this together!
Thanks for sharing all of the products that helped you. It’s absolutely amazing seeing the transformation of your skin. PS. Aquafore is the absolute best for dealing with babies struggling with diaper rash. One of my kids had horrible diaper rash (he was so sensitive that I had a list of things I could not eat because things I ate would cause his skin to just breakdown). Anyway, we actually consulted a wound care specialist who recommended it. It’s magic stuff!
12:49 the way she says "agua" is so cute 😍 thank you for this video! i don't have that bad of acne, but i'm always looking for the kindness of skincare products since i have really sensitive skin.
I love following you, especially when you talk about accutane. My skin is so dry naturally (I’m not on accutane), I use a lot of the same products you talked about because they work! Love you!!! 🤗
This came in such perfect time thank you so much I started Accutane 2 weeks ago and my skin has a been a living hell! My skin is super dry and I’m getting sooo many breakouts that I don’t even know what to use anymore because nothing moisturizers me enough I haven’t wore makeup since then because it just looks sooo bad, but I gotta trust the process and I know that’s it’s going to be worth it !
Thank you so much! After my 6 months of accutane, one product I never heard anyone talk about is Lanolips. Their balms are super hydrating and worth every penny! One of my holy grails ❤️
You’re helping me through my treatment so much! I seem to be getting every one of the symptoms from sciatica to flakey scalp and nose bleeds! I love trying all your recommendations 😀 two months done 😄
I don’t have acne. I never did. I’ll probably never need Accutane and I’m 30. But I am so interested to watch this for some reason. Lol. I’m so happy for you that you had such great results with it! Your skin looks amazing!
I love that you did this and the other videos! I know they've helped people take on this journey a little easier! I wish I would have had someone telling me their story 16 years ago when I did my 9 month treatment. Totally worth all that I went through though. Your skin looks amazing Taylor and I think your confidence is a lot higher too! Feeling good looking great!
I'm so glad someone is finally talking about the CeraVe cleanser! I've been using that stuff for like 8 years, and it's the best and most inexpensive cleanser I've ever found! The moisturizer that goes with it is bomb too.
Thank you for sharing your journey. It is so brave and so compassionate to provide individuals with helpful information that is excellent and based on personal experience. God bless you. Your skin looks amazing, but as you well know nothing the best things come from hard work and diligence. You are an excellent role model, and I truly appreciate your loving, giving character. You deserve all the best in life because you have earned it. You rock!
I am starting accutane in a month. I'm excited for the results, but super nervous about side effects, especially since my skin is combination with oily t-zone but has patches (like around my eyes and on my neck) that get so dry they burn and become leathery. Your videos are so incredibly helpful, this one especially. I will certainly be trying these products together as simple, yet moisturizing sounds like the best plan. There are so many skin products that claim to help with these things, but navigating them and trying to pick which to try first makes my head spin. Thank you SO much for your openness and tips!
im not on accutane, but i bought most of these products after your skincare routine because i started using Retin A and benzoyl peroxide and my skin was sooo dry and sensitive. these products have literally saved my skin!! thank u!!!
I just want to say that I was on accutane last year to early this year and couldn’t agree more about starting using the products earlier than the pills. I started using the things I used on accutane about a week and a half before and apart from my lips had zero dryness elsewhere. And I still use the products after I finished using accutane as well!
I have dry skin and with using anti-aging products including AHA/BHA tends get drier especially in the winter. These products have been soo hydrating, my skin is saying THANK YOU.
My skin is clear but dry as sandpaper and the Cerave night cream you recommended has been a life saver! Thank you! nothing has been as hydrating as that cream
Iv been on accutane for 3 months , and honestly so happy with the results , completely smooth skin no spots , side effects iv had is joint pain but it is so worth it !
So thankful for this video! I have body and facial eczema and am currently on day 3 of accutane. I was looking for gentle but effective skin care, and I really appreciate this video. My eczema has been pretty terrible recently, even before starting the accutane, so I'm hoping to calm it down a bit with some of these products. Thank you!
Just watched all of your accutane journey videos because Im starting my first course next month. Thank you sooo much for these videos, they are honestly the most helpful.
A friend referred me over here. My doctor and I just decided it was time for accutane, nothing else was really working, and the other stuff we could have tried he felt like wouldn’t have been effective at all. I’m definitely nervous but excited. My mom has had huge craters develop in her skin from cystic acne, and I started showing cystic acne about in middle school, I’m 21 now. Mine is not near as bad as hers, but my goal is to prevent that. Curology was actually the only thing that really helped, but it didn’t kick it completely, and it came back after I stopped. I’m just tried of all the pain, and struggle. Picking up my prescription later today I hope.
Thank you so much for this! My dermatologist and I just decided to start the Accutane journey. Currently patiently waiting for my two negative pregnancy test (the most annoying thing). It makes me so hopeful to see your skin journey.
I got the rose hip oil because of you. I love it! My skin is combo and no real issues except sometimes breakouts on my chin. I've found the oil helps so much, plus I'm in my mid-30s and I swear it is helping my fine lines.
If you can't afford La Rosh Posay or want a cheaper alternative I highly recommend Vanicream- I get it at Walgreens it isn't super cheap but everything is under $25. I wait for sales and for me to have the $5 off from my points. It is formulated by the Mayo Clinic- basically everything "free". My dermatologist turned me on to it and it has become my holy grail for face cleanser, day moisturizer, and day moisturizer with sunscreen. Under makeup I don't get a whole lot of flashback...without makeup I do if that is important to you.
I’ve always loved your makeup and foundation videos but my son has just started accutane so this is so helpful. You’ve always been beautiful but I’m happy you’ve overcome dealing with acne 😊
I’m currently on month 5 of accutane and my biggest problem has been my super dry lips and I’m surprised that you never mentioned the Dr.Dans cortibalm chapstick. It’s literal gold when on this med, saved my lips.
Currently going through my 4th month of accutane and I don’t feel that my skin is progressing as well as yours did. BUT I have been using the CereVe night cream per your recommendation and I love it! Also had some rosehip oil from before accutane that I am going to start using at night to hopefully help scaring. Thank you for the helpful video! Best accutane videos on UA-cam! So very helpful
I posted this in another comment. Highly recommend the brand *Vanicream* it is for sensitive skin and basically everything *free* (I have no affiliation or anything just love their products). I use the sunscreen, moisturizer and cleanser. It is a cheaper alternative to the La Rosh Posay (which brok me out). BF has eczema and it is one of the few things that doesn't burn for him on it and it doesn't break me out at all.
Your skin looks amazing. I'm not prepping for accutane but my skin has been horrifically dry because of another skin condition that I'm dealing with. I really appreciate the info because dry scaly skin has just been really tough to deal with.
perfect timing for this video, thank you so much. i’m starting accutane in a few weeks & i have super oily skin right now so i don’t know dry skin products as much!
Perfect timing, you came in my time of need! My hydrating cleanser and rosehip oil literally arrived yesterday so I'm glad I'm on the right track. I've recently developed eczema and didn't really know how to deal with it. I really appreciate your accutane videos. 💕
I just wanna thank you so much for this series! I started accutane in 2015 and it would’ve have been incredibly helpful to have something like this at the time (especially from one of my fav youtubers). Unfortunately, my results didn’t last so I’m starting treatment again in a month or two. I remembered these videos and am now looking back to make sure I’ll be prepped for the awful side effects this time around. Thank u for all the recommendations 💓💓💓
One girl in my school drank while on accutane, and we were on the football field (high school) & she just threw-up and passes out. The ambulance were called and she got suspended for a long time. So I don’t recommended drinking while taking any medication...
You can drink. It just puts more pressure on your liver. Talk to your doctor about it if you’re worried. You don’t want to be drinking often but ya know once a week night out or just a casual wine a night isn’t going to kill you.
This couldn’t have come at a better time! I just started Accutane (day 12 today!) and I am sooooo excited to see results! But my skin and scalp are flakey af and my lips are drier than I ever thought they could be. I’m using Vaseline, Laneige lip mask, and the Bite beauty agave lip mask, but none of them help. I’ll give Aquafor a shot!
I used to love the ordinary rosehip but have converted to the ordinary marula. It doesn’t cause breakouts but seems more plumping and smoothing. Plus adding a drop over my face after my moisturiser seems to give a beautiful finish to any foundation I use. Worth a try.
I’m going on Accutane in about 3 weeks and I’m so excited, but nervous at the same time. I have struggled with painful cystic acne on my cheeks and chin, as well as chest acne. I’ve tried everything and this is my last resort. Watching your videos has helped me understand more about Accutane and its pros and cons. Thank you for documenting your Accutane progress! It has really helped!
claire strubberg I’m on day 5 of Roaccutane, I’ve suffered from acne on me face, neck, chest and back for 10 years and I’m so glad I’m finally on the right path but the chapped lips are doing my head in already 😂
Good luck guys! Drink a ton of water, use the CeraVe and Aquaphor products and don’t pick!!!!
Good luck! Try to apply Taylor's advice and keep hydrated. You don't want to keep yourself dehydrated trust me!
claire strubberg
Drink lots of fluids
Good luck ! Took Accutane at age 30 now 56
claire strubberg I so hope it works for you! My sons struggled with acne as did my husband and I hate it for you guys. It’s such a rough thing to deal with.

I was wondering why you were talking so slow. Forgot i had the speed on .75 while watching James Charles
xTaylor x maybe I’ll try that when watching his videos. I can never really get into his channel cause he talks sooo fast and is so hyper and I feel like I’ve ran a marathon by the end of his videos. 😂😂
Hahaha I do that too. I honestly just gave up on trying to watch him tho
😂🤣
HAHAHAHA
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 girl 🤐🫣🫣
I know I’ve seen someone else say this, but I love when you wear looks without false lashes. It makes you so much more relatable and more realistic to what most of us look like on a daily basis. You just look gorgeous and real.
I’m on my 10th day of accutane and my skin went from oil pan to dry desert in a matter of days, this is so helpful! Thank you!!

What about your acne now?

Yes! Aquaphor is CRUCIAL. It was the only thing that helped my poor lips
Taylor you are such an amazing woman and truly the only beauty guru that I trust 100% and is zero drama. Your real dude and plz plz stay that way!
I JUST finished accutane and I started a little after you did. I can't lie I have used almost all the recommendations you have given and they have saved my skin. I appreciate that you did this because I had no idea where to start and I'm sure your followers and others will love these tips. ❤❤❤
I am on Retin-A and these are great products to use with that too!
Taylor looking adorable with her vintage pin-up inspired look!! 😊🌯🌯
Thanks girl I am a medical esthetician, I’m going to send a few of my regular clients to your videos for the advice❤️I hate having my clients on super expensive spa grade products while on accutane because in my opinion it’s a waste unless it’s a very soothing mask for once a week and I’m not versed on drugstore as much as I would like to be❤️😘I recommend not as expensive products and soothing and hydrating facial treatments as often as needed but keeping it simple is very good advise
I'm finally getting on isotrentinoin after having acting for half my life! I'm 27 and so damn ready. I've saved this playlist as my guide
How did it go?
@@indigo_dreamz Cleared my skin up in a 6-7 month treatment. Very minimal side affects. Lots of dry skin, and body aches. I have a simple skin care routine and I rarely get a pimple. When I do its totally manageable. Made me more confident and comfortable in my skin. I would recommend from my experience.
I'm so glad you mentioned the FAB Ultra Repair Cream. That is my holy grail! I discovered it while I was on accutane two years ago. I haven't looked back.
Luckily the smell isn't very bothersome to me. I works great on the face too!
I really like the FAB product line too! I prefer the FAB Ultra Repair Face Moisturizer though, it is really lightweight.
I've said it multiple times before but I'll say it again -- you're skin looks amazing !! The medication you used has done a fabulous job of clearing your skin up and your demeanor has become more lively. You're beautiful young lady -- inside and out !!
Taylor! I started your recommended regimen 2 weeks before i started accutane and it was the best thing i could have done. You saved me so much discomfort! Your videos have made me love skincare and makeup again and as an acne prone person i never thought that would happen. Much love!
The cerave moisturizing cream in the big tub is also excellent for body and face. Great for sensitive skin, dry skin, eczema and a little more affordable than the cerave cream with the pump or the renewing face cream. I love the feel on the skin, leaves no residue, instantly helps dryness. Love it.
I'm 53 and considering Accutane since nothing else has worked. Your videos have really helped me think I could actually do it-----your skin is beautiful!
I realize this is an older video, but I haven't seen them until now. I am so happy for you, that you've found something that works for your cystic acne. I feel certain your video series has been helpful to others. You do a great job sharing your story. Kudos to you!
I wish I had this when I was on accurate. Sadly, I was in the 30%, so I was on it for 3 times it total before I gave up. What has since saved my skin has been monthly facials, and eminence organic skin care. Super effective, results oriented and worth every penny. It has literally saved my skin. They have a great rose hip CE oil and I swear by their red currant spf, and their clear skin line. It had transformed my skin now. So glad! I love watching your videos. Keep up the great work!!
Just bought literally every single product that you talked about 🤣 I start accutane October 18th! Trying to get ahead of the dryness!! Thanks for all your great recommendations and reviews- makes it easy for us!
i started today! (october 23)
good luck to the three of us 💙
@Cass HEYYY! How’s ur skin now?
Cass yay for us!! hope your treatment is going well!!! ❤️
@Cass and how’s the side effects? I’m going on accutane in like 2ish months so I’m preparing lol
How'd it go?
Still can’t get over how much it truly changed your skin! Amazing.
Starting accutane in three days and I wanna say that this video and all your other accutane videos are literally a god-send. Thank you!!
Wow, that lip colour on you.........perfection! I've been here since well before Accutane, and I'm so happy for you and you and your transformation. Your videos have always been so helpful to me in my own acne/skin/makeup/accutane journey, so thank you, thank you so much. Keep doing what you do Bae(rito!) xxx
hopefully gonna be starting accutane soon. i can’t wait. it sounds so stupid to let acne hold you back from life but in reality it does. i’ve struggled for 7 years.. so happy for you though taylor! looking beautiful as always ❤️
So happy for you with your skin journey! Makes me so happy to see!
❤🌯❤🌯❤🌯❤🌯❤🌯❤
i really like seeing you in the comments,you are so nice and beautiful 😊❤️
Yadira Thank you so much! You are so beautiful as well as kind! ❤❤❤
I see you all the time and never read your username.... "And none for Gretchen Weiners BYE!"
Hey Jenna!
What foundation are you wearing? It photographs beautifully.
Wow Taylor I’ve been here for your whole journey. I am so incredibly happy for you. It was I think your 3 month update that totally kicked my ass to finally find another dermatologist again to finally get rid of my own acne. We finally found something that’s working on me. Thank you for making these videos Taylor. They have helped me greatly xoxo
I am so thrilled that you had a much better experience than others. I love watching you, you are hands down my favorite UA-camr and to be honest I admire your work ethic. I don’t know what your life is like off the camera but watching you helps me so much so thanks for being you and doing all of this. 💜
first I want to thank you for all your videos that you take this time out for all of us. I especially want to thank you for the Dermacol site on foundation you did. I ordered the shade 207 so awesome a tad too light so I ordered the 209 it arrived yesterday. I mixed the 2 together. You should see my face , I cannot belive it is me staring back at me in the mirror. The 2 shades mixed together is a perfect color for me. I also ordered the SIgna f 80 brush from Norstrom. So love it works so beautifully with the Dermacol. I also ordered the Dermacol gold anti aging . The make up glides on so beautfully, I also ordered the Dermacol powder that sets everything . I feel so good about myself it like I had a face lift my face looks so fresh & new I do not know how I can ever thank you I am 68 & feel young again hugs ( Judy )
Glad these worked for you Taylor! I went on Accutane in 2016 and I used some of the products you mentioned: Aquaphor, CeraVe hydrating cleanser. Instead of the night cream and the daily moisturizer I used the CeraVe PM and AM facial moisturizers. Seriously drink a toooooonnnnnn of water and don’t touch your skin or apply any unnecessary products. I used Kat Von D Lock-it foundation in light 44 (1 pump facial lotion to 1 pump foundation) and that worked for me. Unfortunately my acne seems to be hormone related. Stayed clear after Accutane, maybe due to the fact I was on birth control. However the last 4-5 months I’m breaking out again, not as bad as before but I’m my opinion still not great, because my husband and I are trying for a baby. Good luck everyone going on an Accutane journey. Remember this is only temporary, you can get through it. I plan to go on another round after a baby and breast feeding. Pray for my skin and for a baby!! Lol
I love how u always put an spanish word out there in ur last videos ❤ U transmit a chill and easy going personality... Greetings from Argentina!
you ROCK the red lips girlfriend
I don't have problematic skin but still watch every single one of your videos, including this one. You gave some great recommendations and I am sure you are helping a lot of girls with these videos! xo
Jamie Fechtmuller Same!
Is it weird that I am so excited for you?? I am so super happy you had success with this medication. You always had such a good outlook when dealing with your skin.
Target carries La Roche Posay - the SPF mentioned here. Watch for the cartwheel sometimes you can save 25% off or buy one get one half!! Great savings tip!
I use the Aquaphor for my face, lips, under eyes, and everything to do with my body skin. Several years ago I had surgery on my back and the doctor said NO antibiotics NO nothing except Aquaphor. That was my first big experience with the product and I was shocked at how well I healed, how fast I healed, no infection, and the lack of scaring. I use Aquaphor as body lotion (even though it's like vaseline in texture - it soaks in) in place of the First Aid cream which I found wasn't strong enough and didn't moisturize as well - Aquaphor lasts for hours and so you save money in the long run. Aquaphor is great for everything. Best place to buy Aquaphor is CVS when you have a coupon and/or a sale OR of course Amazon. I'm never without it. There are tubs of it stashed in most rooms of the house and of course in my purse.
They even have Aquaphor Baby now as well.
BTW - I LOVE your naked eye look with the red lipstick. Outstanding.
I’m on my first month of accutane and I have found your tips so incredibly helpful. I’ve been on the medication for about 3 weeks and I’m already noticing a difference. After 2 days, my lips were on the verge of bleeding. Aquaphor is the only that has helped and it’s so good. I also just placed an amazon order with the water bottles, spf, and another bottle of heliocare. I also love the cerave cleanser and the moisturizer it’s so good
Your skin looks amazing Tay!! Hope you've been well, sweet friend! xo.
Never been on Accutane, but I have chronically dry and extremely acne prone skin. I bought The Ordinary rosehip seed oil and the CeraVe hydrating cleanser & skin renewing night cream because of your videos and my skin has never been so happy!
Just wanted to throw out there that if you have a ragweed allergy you should pay attention if you start taking the milk thistle supplement. They're in the same family and you can essentially be triggering inflammation and allergy response in yourself by taking it. (So is chamomile, and echinacea.) Doesn't happen to everyone so this isn't some scare monger thing, just watch for persistent headaches after taking, swollen joints, or strange itchy splotches.
Omg thank you girl I need this video literally started roaccutane 5 days ago. I’ve suffered bad acne on my face, neck, chest and back for 10 years and your videos really helped me on making the decision to go on roaccutane or accutane as you call it in the us, I really hope that I get the results that you did
I’m getting ready to be put on accutane. I took it over 10 years ago and it worked amazingly. My face is awful, so hopefully it will work again. Going to take some of your advice in this video!!
I have finished accutane this April, my skin was so stubborn I had to take it for a little longer than 6 months I took it for over 8 months, but it was so worth it at the end. I feel like people demonize accutane so much ( like a lot of other things) on the internet , sure it is a serious drug but if it is your last option I would say go for it. My dryness was concentrated in my eyes and sinuses. My eczema didn't flare up. My anxiety was not affected either. Other than those and my dermatologist's bad products recommendations it was a good experience.
HI, how is your skin now? Did your acne come back?
I'm about to start Roaccutane (Accutane) and it occurred to me that I don't know the first thing about caring for skin even remotely close to dry. This video is so helpful! Thank you.
I picked up the Cerave cleanser after watching on of you Accutane videos. I struggle with dry skin and it has literally saved my skin. I’m no longer getting dry itchy patches and my skin feels so smooth after using it. Thank you for the recommendation!
I’m so happy for you, Taylor! I really wish I had UA-cam when I went through my accutane journey (and my daughters). I use a lot of these products still to this day and it’s been at least 7 years since I took it, still great skin!
Even as someone who's never been on acne meds, this is helpful to me, because I have super dry, sensitive skin. I get cracked lips in the wintertime, so I'm always on the hunt for products that work and treat/prevent it. Also: non-drying cleansers are a lifesaver. Thanks for putting this together!
That headband is so cute!
That headband tho!! 😍😍😍
Thanks for sharing all of the products that helped you. It’s absolutely amazing seeing the transformation of your skin.
PS. Aquafore is the absolute best for dealing with babies struggling with diaper rash. One of my kids had horrible diaper rash (he was so sensitive that I had a list of things I could not eat because things I ate would cause his skin to just breakdown). Anyway, we actually consulted a wound care specialist who recommended it. It’s magic stuff!
I’m about to start my journey for accutane and I’m glad i have your videos for more info and your experience. Nervous but can’t wait!
12:49 the way she says "agua" is so cute 😍
thank you for this video! i don't have that bad of acne, but i'm always looking for the kindness of skincare products since i have really sensitive skin.
I love following you, especially when you talk about accutane. My skin is so dry naturally (I’m not on accutane), I use a lot of the same products you talked about because they work! Love you!!! 🤗
So happy for you that your skin responded to the Accutane. Your skin looks wonderful!
This came in such perfect time thank you so much I started Accutane 2 weeks ago and my skin has a been a living hell! My skin is super dry and I’m getting sooo many breakouts that I don’t even know what to use anymore because nothing moisturizers me enough I haven’t wore makeup since then because it just looks sooo bad, but I gotta trust the process and I know that’s it’s going to be worth it !
Thank you so much! After my 6 months of accutane, one product I never heard anyone talk about is Lanolips. Their balms are super hydrating and worth every penny! One of my holy grails ❤️
You’re helping me through my treatment so much! I seem to be getting every one of the symptoms from sciatica to flakey scalp and nose bleeds! I love trying all your recommendations 😀 two months done 😄
I don’t have acne. I never did. I’ll probably never need Accutane and I’m 30. But I am so interested to watch this for some reason. Lol. I’m so happy for you that you had such great results with it! Your skin looks amazing!
I love that you did this and the other videos! I know they've helped people take on this journey a little easier! I wish I would have had someone telling me their story 16 years ago when I did my 9 month treatment. Totally worth all that I went through though. Your skin looks amazing Taylor and I think your confidence is a lot higher too! Feeling good looking great!
I'm so glad someone is finally talking about the CeraVe cleanser! I've been using that stuff for like 8 years, and it's the best and most inexpensive cleanser I've ever found! The moisturizer that goes with it is bomb too.
Thank you for sharing your journey. It is so brave and so compassionate to provide individuals with helpful information that is excellent and based on personal experience. God bless you. Your skin looks amazing, but as you well know nothing the best things come from hard work and diligence. You are an excellent role model, and I truly appreciate your loving, giving character. You deserve all the best in life because you have earned it. You rock!
I am starting accutane in a month. I'm excited for the results, but super nervous about side effects, especially since my skin is combination with oily t-zone but has patches (like around my eyes and on my neck) that get so dry they burn and become leathery. Your videos are so incredibly helpful, this one especially. I will certainly be trying these products together as simple, yet moisturizing sounds like the best plan. There are so many skin products that claim to help with these things, but navigating them and trying to pick which to try first makes my head spin. Thank you SO much for your openness and tips!
im not on accutane, but i bought most of these products after your skincare routine because i started using Retin A and benzoyl peroxide and my skin was sooo dry and sensitive. these products have literally saved my skin!! thank u!!!
I just want to say that I was on accutane last year to early this year and couldn’t agree more about starting using the products earlier than the pills. I started using the things I used on accutane about a week and a half before and apart from my lips had zero dryness elsewhere. And I still use the products after I finished using accutane as well!
I have dry skin and with using anti-aging products including AHA/BHA tends get drier especially in the winter. These products have been soo hydrating, my skin is saying THANK YOU.
That shade of lip is absolutely stunning on you!
I so appreciate the hard work you put into your channel. You are by far in my top people I view on UA-cam!
My skin is clear but dry as sandpaper and the Cerave night cream you recommended has been a life saver! Thank you! nothing has been as hydrating as that cream
Iv been on accutane for 3 months , and honestly so happy with the results , completely smooth skin no spots , side effects iv had is joint pain but it is so worth it !
So thankful for this video! I have body and facial eczema and am currently on day 3 of accutane. I was looking for gentle but effective skin care, and I really appreciate this video. My eczema has been pretty terrible recently, even before starting the accutane, so I'm hoping to calm it down a bit with some of these products. Thank you!
Just watched all of your accutane journey videos because Im starting my first course next month. Thank you sooo much for these videos, they are honestly the most helpful.
A friend referred me over here. My doctor and I just decided it was time for accutane, nothing else was really working, and the other stuff we could have tried he felt like wouldn’t have been effective at all. I’m definitely nervous but excited. My mom has had huge craters develop in her skin from cystic acne, and I started showing cystic acne about in middle school, I’m 21 now. Mine is not near as bad as hers, but my goal is to prevent that. Curology was actually the only thing that really helped, but it didn’t kick it completely, and it came back after I stopped. I’m just tried of all the pain, and struggle. Picking up my prescription later today I hope.
Thank you so much for this! My dermatologist and I just decided to start the Accutane journey. Currently patiently waiting for my two negative pregnancy test (the most annoying thing). It makes me so hopeful to see your skin journey.
Awesome I hope one day you can do a update one and what new and old products you still recommend 💕💕❤️✌🏽
I got the rose hip oil because of you. I love it! My skin is combo and no real issues except sometimes breakouts on my chin. I've found the oil helps so much, plus I'm in my mid-30s and I swear it is helping my fine lines.
If you can't afford La Rosh Posay or want a cheaper alternative I highly recommend Vanicream- I get it at Walgreens it isn't super cheap but everything is under $25. I wait for sales and for me to have the $5 off from my points. It is formulated by the Mayo Clinic- basically everything "free". My dermatologist turned me on to it and it has become my holy grail for face cleanser, day moisturizer, and day moisturizer with sunscreen. Under makeup I don't get a whole lot of flashback...without makeup I do if that is important to you.
This is so great to put this all in one video. This was very kind of you.
I’ve always loved your makeup and foundation videos but my son has just started accutane so this is so helpful. You’ve always been beautiful but I’m happy you’ve overcome dealing with acne 😊
I'll be starting Accutane in a few weeks. Getting my hands on some of these products asap!
I’m currently on month 5 of accutane and my biggest problem has been my super dry lips and I’m surprised that you never mentioned the Dr.Dans cortibalm chapstick. It’s literal gold when on this med, saved my lips.
Currently going through my 4th month of accutane and I don’t feel that my skin is progressing as well as yours did. BUT I have been using the CereVe night cream per your recommendation and I love it! Also had some rosehip oil from before accutane that I am going to start using at night to hopefully help scaring. Thank you for the helpful video! Best accutane videos on UA-cam! So very helpful
I posted this in another comment. Highly recommend the brand *Vanicream* it is for sensitive skin and basically everything *free* (I have no affiliation or anything just love their products). I use the sunscreen, moisturizer and cleanser. It is a cheaper alternative to the La Rosh Posay (which brok me out). BF has eczema and it is one of the few things that doesn't burn for him on it and it doesn't break me out at all.
Um you look so cute in this vid. Love the subtle pin up vibe ♡
Your skin looks amazing. I'm not prepping for accutane but my skin has been horrifically dry because of another skin condition that I'm dealing with. I really appreciate the info because dry scaly skin has just been really tough to deal with.
You did so wonderfully well through your Accutane journey! Your skin just looks incredible now!!!
perfect timing for this video, thank you so much. i’m starting accutane in a few weeks & i have super oily skin right now so i don’t know dry skin products as much!
Perfect timing, you came in my time of need! My hydrating cleanser and rosehip oil literally arrived yesterday so I'm glad I'm on the right track. I've recently developed eczema and didn't really know how to deal with it. I really appreciate your accutane videos. 💕
I just wanna thank you so much for this series! I started accutane in 2015 and it would’ve have been incredibly helpful to have something like this at the time (especially from one of my fav youtubers). Unfortunately, my results didn’t last so I’m starting treatment again in a month or two. I remembered these videos and am now looking back to make sure I’ll be prepped for the awful side effects this time around. Thank u for all the recommendations 💓💓💓
Gonna have to try that aquaphor stuff! I have had the WORST chapped lips forever and have never found anything that I really love.
Just in time! I’m almost a month in, but my dermatologist didn’t suggest anything and I found out I couldn’t drink from the warning on my box 😂
Really?? No drinking at ALL?? hmmm...I may need to reconsider my timing of going on accutane...
You can drink, you just need to be careful. As with most medicines that are absorbed by your liver, you can't go too hardcore.
Well damn then I’m screwed
One girl in my school drank while on accutane, and we were on the football field (high school) & she just threw-up and passes out. The ambulance were called and she got suspended for a long time. So I don’t recommended drinking while taking any medication...
You can drink. It just puts more pressure on your liver. Talk to your doctor about it if you’re worried. You don’t want to be drinking often but ya know once a week night out or just a casual wine a night isn’t going to kill you.
This couldn’t have come at a better time! I just started Accutane (day 12 today!) and I am sooooo excited to see results! But my skin and scalp are flakey af and my lips are drier than I ever thought they could be. I’m using Vaseline, Laneige lip mask, and the Bite beauty agave lip mask, but none of them help. I’ll give Aquafor a shot!
Glad I found this video! I'm on my second day of Accutane and I didn't know where to start with moisturizers and lip stuff, Thank You!!!
I used to love the ordinary rosehip but have converted to the ordinary marula. It doesn’t cause breakouts but seems more plumping and smoothing. Plus adding a drop over my face after my moisturiser seems to give a beautiful finish to any foundation I use. Worth a try.
I am not on Accutane, but started on Epiduo Forte (and have sensitive, desert dry skin). These tips are SO helpful!! Thank you😩⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you for taking us through your journey, you inspire so many, you look gorgeous..
