Hi everyone, it's Bridget. So as you can tell, this video is very different from videos that I have done in the past. I wanted to come on here and document my Acutane journey. I feel like Acne is something that not a lot of people know that I struggle with. I started getting Acne in middle school probably around seventh grade. So it's been about seven years. I do wear makeup almost every day to cover up my Acne because it's one of my biggest insecurities. I thought by me documenting my experience with Acutane it would be helpful for other people. It would also be good for me to kind of look back on my journey and see how much I changed throughout it. I will continue doing updates for you guys as I go along my Acutane journey. Hi everyone! So today is February 14th. It's Valentine's Day. I am officially going to be starting my Acutane journey. Here's my first one. That's it. That's my first DOOCH! Hi guys! So it is officially been one week since I started my Acutane journey. As you can obviously tell, my skin has definitely been breaking out, especially on my forehead. My back is also breaking out pretty bad, which is so fun. Your skin is supposed to get worse and then get better. It definitely has gotten worse. I will keep you guys updated with what else goes on. Bye for now! Hi guys! Just wanted to come on here and do a little update on my skin. I will say in these two weeks I have noticed some changes. My skin definitely has gotten really, really, really dry. My lips have gotten super dry and also my scalp has gotten really dry. I mean, you can probably see the dandruff from here. My back has been breaking out really, really bad. That's it for my update and I will see you guys soon. Hi everyone! I have just finished up week three of Acutane. Definitely clearing up one thing that I have noticed this past week is my pores are starting to de-clog. They're really coming up to the surface like I can feel them. It's so weird. They are very, very visible right now and I am just waiting for them to go away, which will hopefully be soon. Anyway, I will update you guys in one week. That's all for today! Hi everyone! So I want to take a while to here and do my one month update. When I look back at what my skin looked like the first week being on Acutane, I noticed that my skin has definitely improved. But I still have a long ways to go. So this is what my skin looks like after one month on Acutane. I have had dryness on my face obviously, on my lips, on the inside of my nose, my earlobes. And at the beginning of taking Acutane, I had on my scalp as well. Along with the dryness, I will say that my hair and my face do not get oily anymore, like at all. After taking the Acutane for a few weeks, my pores are almost completely clear. As for my actual acne, boy have we got a way to go. I will be starting a higher dosage. We'll see what happens on this new pill. Hopefully in a week. Anyway guys, that's all for my one month update. And I will see you guys later. Hey everyone, this is what my skin looks like after two months being on Acutane. As you can see my forehead is pretty clear. I do still have some breakouts mostly on this side. My chest, knock on wood, has been completely clear this entire month. And my back has not really big breakouts or anything. This past month, I was experiencing some rashes on my hands and arms. It's just because my skin's really really dry. I have an experiencing back pain. My muscles are just so tight. I did mention the back pain to my dermatologist. He said it's very common there and normal and it should get better as time goes on. That's all for now. Bye guys. Hi everyone. So today is May 14th. And at some today, I have officially been on Acutane for three months. As you can see, I'm having a pretty bad breakout on my cheek. Other than where I'm breaking out, it's super smooth. I've been exfoliating a lot. I haven't been having any breakouts on my chest or my back, which is awesome. That's all for my update and I will see you guys next month. Bye guys. Hi guys. So today is June 14th, which means I have officially been on Acutane for four months. And I went to come on here and do my skin update. I don't remember the last time my skin has looked like this. I am just so happy. I will update you guys next month. I'll see you in July. Hopefully my skin will be looking even better than it is now. Hi everyone. So today is July 14th, which marks five months of me being on Acutane. So I want to take a look here and do, of course, my skin update for you guys. I haven't noticed any like extreme changes this month. My skin is just gradually getting better and better every day. Bye guys. See you next month. Hi guys. Today is a great day. Today is August 15th and I just had an appointment with my dermatologist and I am officially done. Acutane. I am so excited. I have one pillow left that I'm going to take tonight and then I am done. I can't believe it. My skin is not completely clear, but I haven't had any breakouts this past month. I just want to have some sky mostly on this side, but it should all clear up very soon. My lips should start feeling not dry anymore, which is going to be awesome and my skin feel like not feel basically just as dry as it has been. One thing that I have noticed, my face has gotten a lot, a lot slimmer, especially my nose. I was looking at old pictures of me and I'm like that does not look like me. I just feel like my face looks so much slimmer, specifically in my nose and in my cheeks and even my forehead. I am just so happy with how my skin turned out. I haven't had too many problems with acutane. I've pretty much discussed every single one of my problems just back pain and dryness and stuff like that. Those are like very common side effects, but honestly, this experience has all been so worth it for me. I hated the way that my skin looked. I felt so self-conscious and insecure about my acne. The way my face looks so different, I am just so so happy. Hi everyone, so today is September 15th and I have officially been off of acutane for one. So this is what my skin looks like. As you can see, I do not currently have any breakouts. My skin is not dry, it's just looking really good. Overall, I am extremely happy with my results and of course really happy that I did end up deciding to go on acutane just because it was a scary decision, but it all worked out very well in the end as you guys can tell. If you guys have any questions, make sure to leave a comment down below and I'll be sure to answer it because I remember before I don't add acutane, I've seen so much research everywhere just like wanting to know what people experience as a relate and how acutane must for them. And I would love to help anyone out who have any questions about it. Anyway, that is all from my acutane journey. I highly recommend acutane if it is right for you. See you guys in my next video. Bye!
