Have Pimples, Breakouts, Chapped Lips, Tired Eyes. Recommended Roaccutane, Lemon Water. What Can I Expect?

Hello,

How are you? Im Marie 31 yes old , having pimples and breakouts rhat turned into acne after a few months. A month ago ive undergo a facial cleaning and they prescribed me an acid cream. ive been using it for a week but ive observed more break outs. Then without seeing a dermatologist, a pharmacist reccommended roaccutane. So i took roaccuttane, the lowest dose of .10mg. Ive been taking it for two weeks and the side effects are more cystic break outs, dry chapped lips and teary tired eyes. I am planning to not to continue to use it. I started using kojic acid today and really hoping for my acne scars and acne to heal. I know i sounded hopeless..can u please give me some advice. Im also drinking lemon water everyday morning and evening for a few months already as i heard it gets rid out of toxins from the body, does drinking it also affect the results of accutane? Thank u so much im waiting for ur response

Hi i think chapped lips and dry eyes is due to side effects of isotretinion u are using.the dryness can be cured by nmf e lipcare.i do not think lemon water is anything to do with isotretinion.use vitamin e supplementation which causes dryness to decrease.always use nmf e lipcare whenever u use isotretinion
