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 accutane 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 accutane it would be helpful for other people and 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 accutane journey

My hands and arms it’s just because my skin’s really really dry i have been experiencing back pain my muscles are just so tight i did mention the back pain to my dermatologist he said it’s very common very 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 as of today i have officially been on accutane

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 accutane i 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 like 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 accutane for one month 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 like really good overall i am extremely happy with my results and of course really happy that i did end up deciding to go
