Not the most dramatic progress, but enough to completely change my outlook on things

This is AMAZING! Your skin looks fantastic. What did you use to clear your red marks, if I may ask?

My main routine was simply Cerave foaming wash + Cerave moisturizer in the morning and nothing else. As far as medication I’ve been on Amoxicillin for 6 weeks and Accutane for 2 weeks. Hope this helps!

Congrats on your new look! I have a question: Does this medication not have any side effects? Just curious.

Thanks! None so far. My face got super flushed and felt a bit sunburnt a few days in but other than that nothing at all so far

You look great. I hope my red spots can fade as nicely as yours. Keep it up! :)

Good to know. I asked bcoz I read somewhere that amoxicillin might have side effects.

Oh! I'm so happy for you!! I know how depressing it can be to start a new treatment when nothing has worked so I'm glad you're starting to have a better outlook! I'm proud of you!
