18 year old male here. After the 2 weeks of using it they say you will have dry skin. Well that depends, after like 3-5 days of taking it i already started to have dry skin. Always carry a chapstick with you, and try not to scratch your skin, or if your skin starts to dry out moisturize it. Trust me it's all worth it at the end once the medication kicks in.

After years of oral and topical antibiotics, I was still battling acne. Continued flares were painful as well as unsightly. The first four weeks I did experience a lot of dryness and outbreaks. My dermatologist prescribed a steroid during this time period that helped with the transition. I am into my 4th month and experiencing much clearer skin and less dryness. So pleased to finally be getting some relief after having been plagued for a very long time!

This is my second round of Accutane and I began with 20mg Absorbica the first month, 40mg Absorbica the second month, and they have me on 60mg Zenatane currently in my third month. I was experiencing mild side effects from Absorbica, mainly just dry lips but when I began Zenatane my skin became very dry and fragile. I was itchy from my dry skin and when I would scratch myself I would feel a burning sensation following a couple seconds after I stopped scratching. I had no sunburn at this time but it was similar to the feeling of scratching sunburnt skin. My skin is flakey after scratching certain spots and none of my moisturizer seems to help. Has anyone else experienced symptoms similar while on Zenatane or any Isotretinoin treatment?

I have had sever acne my whole life. It was cystic and aggressive. I've tried birth controls and topical solutions and nothing worked. I went on Zenatane for 6 months and I am acne free! It was a long 6 months. Everything on my body was dry, but it was worth it in the end. I'm so grateful.
