What Accutane Looks Like Before It's a Pill
Let me quickly get one point out there before some readers get distracted. Accutane is the most damaging drug you could take to ‘treat’ your acne. Ah, that feels better – maybe now a few more of you won’t take that leap – that leap off the cliff.
If you’ve read ‘The Acne Cure,’ you’ll know that I am a big proponent of vitamins and minerals. Vitamins and minerals are necessary to maintain health. They are necessary to maintain healthy cells, healthy organs, and healthy skin. Thanks to the modern diet, many of the vitamins minerals necessary for health are removed. Yippee.
Accutane is a vitamin A derivative. Derivitave simply means it is ‘derived’ from vitamin A, but isn’t actually vitamin A. It’s easy to think that Accutane is just another form of vitamin a – when in fact it isn’t. If you’ve read my other articles, you’ll notice that i’ve said your body can consume as much healthy food as you want – it will take from it what it needs and throw off the rest. The same goes for most natural vitamins. Notice I said natural vitamins. In fact, your body can take upwards of 80,000 IU of vitamin A per day.
Here’s the difference between vitamin A and Accutane. EVERYTHING. They shouldn’t even be put in the same sentence. Accutane is the furthest thing from natural – it is made in a lab by a Russian guy named Boris and an Indian guy names Deepak. Your body was not built to consume unnatural foods, chemicals, what have you.
Honestly, i’m not really surprised that so many people take Accutane. I clearly remember the feeling of being desperate and clasping my hands on any drug or topical that was said to work. The fact is, Accutane does help some peoples acne. Why does Accutane work for some? The people who created Accutane realized that sebum production had some part to do with why acne is formed on the skin. So they rashly thought(with money on their minds), if you stop the sebum production, you stop acne.
You fools. Thanks for ruining so many lives – and so many more lives to come. Please realize that sebum is necessary for maintaining healthy skin. People with perfect skin produce sebum. Sebum is not the cause of acne. Sebum is not the cause of acne. Sebum is not the cause of acne. Sebum is only one small step on the ladder.
So Accutane stops sebum production – a natural healthy bodily function. That’s like giving someone who feels burning when they go to the bathroom a drug to make them stop peeing. It isn’t natural. And how does Accutane stop sebum production? Simply put, it fucks up your body. It fucks up your body so bad that it can’t produce a necessary component of healthy skin.
If you don’t believe me, ask anyone who’s taken it. It makes your skin very, very dry. It makes your lips chapped and causes skin to peel off of them. It makes your eyes dry to the point where they turn red from itchiness. It slows natural healing of scars wounds, and yes, acne. It has been even cited to cause mental problems(yes, I believe in this connection.) All this to stop acne. Yes, you are suffering a lot. But this doesn’t mean you should take something damaging to your body. There are much better options. Try Raw, Crushed Garlic.
your an idiot. It doesnt work for just some people, it works for nearly ALL people! which is why it is very popular. Your vitamin ideas are a load of crock, even the healthiest of people get acne, its in alot of peoples genes, handed down through parents that they will get lots of sebum production.
The side effects only last as long as you are on the medication, which isnt very long so i dont know what your fussing about. You maybe could get rid of some of the acne using ur natural ideas, but it would take years for it to finally go away. Accutane will do it in an almost guaranteed 5 months!
For the public, go to other forums and see what people have said who have actually used accutane and whether they think the 4-5 months of discomfort was worth the results!
This noob needs to try it and not be biased.
You are very ignorant… I’m 26 years old and I suffered from acne for years. I probably started getting pimples around age 12 and as I got older the acne only worsened. It took a huge bite into my confidence so I began seeing a dermatologist. I have tried literally EVERY kind of topical treatment in the universe. None worked. I paid thousands of dollars for laser treatments. Didn’t work. I tried using all natural remedies and I took natural supplements. I changed my diet completely and ate as if I was diabetic. DID NOT WORK.
So finally after years of frustration, I went on accutane. Within 3 months, the number of my breakouts decreased dramatically. 6 months my skin was 100% acne free. The only side effects I ever suffered from was dry skin and chapped lips, which is easily treated with moisturizers.
Sure it does have terrible side effects on some, but it is a life changer for others. That is why you need to closely follow your behaviors and any side effects you experience. If you do this you can get off accutane before any real damage is done.
It’s been 4 years since I have been off accutane and my skin is still beautiful.
