Accutane Diary (Mild Acne - Day 40 / Week 5 on Accutane with Dr Ranjit)

This week has been a pretty decent week for my skin. Aside from the recurring pimple on top of my right eyebrow (which I properly extracted with a sterilised needle and applied topical aloe vera gel after to sooth and allow for a quick healing) and small bumps/comedones on my forehead, I think my skin has been fairly calm. It also has been pretty normal in terms of dryness, I think the my current hydrating focused routine helps. I also started using argan oil as a leave in conditioner for my hair. All in all, I think the low dosage (10mg) really helps in preventing any major side effects since my body is able to gradually accept and adapt to the substance.
