This is for the people who have took accutane only. When did u noticed the side effect bc I just took my first pill and I want to know when I need to start worry about it.

And by the way I know all the things about it, don't get pregnant, don't wax, dry lips and skin
etc ...
I just want to know when should all theses things start.

Thanks everyone who answers which I bet isn't that many.

I never took acutane but my cousin told me his WHOLE experience with it about three months ago. He told me it took about 6 months until his face cleared up. You are going to have much more sensitive skin. The side effects are dryness, irritation, peeling, and more breakouts. It is a retinoid so it is really strong, that is why it takes awhile for your face to get used to it. It gets worse before it gets better. They can start anytime. For my cousin, it started about a week or two when it started kicking in. Everybody is different. He had severe acne and now he has the clearest face! You got to be really patient with retinoids. it will be hell for a couple of weeks.

In European countries doctors don't prescribe Rhoaccutane (French brand name of Accutane) without prescribing the Pill at the same moment. From day one thus.
