[thegame245]

[beramburamba]

you look great!!!!

[samismurf]

thanx!

[Leoyizhou]

hey i am about to take accutane but i am kind of nervous about it. Are there any side effects that are still affecting you?

[samismurf]

side effects, dry dry skin, lower back pain, dry lips, might experience headaches, bleeding nose, joint pain, but it goes away!

[1995bartels]

@samismurf did you ever have joint pain near your knees when you run?

[johnmalory26]

After 6 months Accutane gets out of you're system and the acne comes back, so I've been told.

So what do you take to not have oily skin?

What dp you think about Vitamin B5 for acne?

[samismurf]

ya it's been really messy lately ;) love it!

[automotiverocks]

part of your problem with even ocational breakouts could be because you shave. like i get them especialy like after i shave because the hair is cut so far down that its underneath the surface of the skin. which in short will creat an ingrown hair. pain in the ass, i get them all the time. lol

[mhodgkin]

Hey man do you still moisturize?

[mhodgkin]

Me 2!!!!!!! It's so annoying!

[DesperatelyKind]

Oh, by the way your hair looks great and so does your skin!

[DesperatelyKind]

Did you go back to your dermatologist and see if he or she can give you some topical? My derm has taken Accutane for 3 courses when he was younger, and he still uses some 'Differin' Gel 3% on his nose to keep blackheads and mild acne away in the t-zone. I've heard that topical acne meds work much better after treatment with Accutane. Thank you so much for continuing to do updates for us. I look forward to watching your progress. :)

Hey did you have big/clogged pores around your nose area when you started ccutane and did the accutane get rid of the blockage and shrink them or something?

Grats man lookin good

[CayTheCoolKid]

wow sami your hair is wiiiiiild!

i havent talked to you in forever =[

im glad your face got better though =]

[lls0uljall]

hey sami, did you ever get pimples on your nose? and was your face red when you had acne? thanks if you answer!

[Jeannie20A]

Thanks for continuing to keep us informed through and even after your accutane experience. I've followed your videos throughout my 6 month treatment. And btw Sami your English is really improving throughout your videos too. Much smoother flow. Don't know if your noticing. Your skin looks really smooth and healthy.

[RKOmaster]

lookin' good

[MistaHooong]

try using washes, becouse honestly your not one of those lucky people where they completely got there acne knocke dout of there body. So i would reccoment buying cetaphil washes or bar soaps just use for the shower every morning. Should help control the small pimples, atleast u dont got cyctic ones

[jubilantjude]

do u know where i can purchase emu oil?

[MistaHooong]

my sister got it at vitamin cottage, try that if not then ask them

[lmp3303]

im on my 3 1/2 week. It hasn't improved really, if not worse. I am trying emu oil currently and it helps, but i am still breaking out like crazy! Hopefully it goes away sooon.

[BCboilermaker]

hey man, im on my first week of treatment ive been prescribed 40mg... im pretty stoked. and really hoping my face clears up.... so i gotta question... 6 months later do you use any exfoliating cleansers, toner, any benzoyl peroxide, like proactiv or anything like that?

[agiaco1]

crazy hair dude, lookin good man!

[whysoserious34]

You look great Sami! I am currently on month 4 of accutane! Yay! My skin looks great, but its not flawless yet, but it will be soon! Haha, hope your skin stays amazing!

[gemini0815]

omg you have no idea how jealous i am of you. Your skin looks amazing!! I can't wait till my skin is that clear. I have a derm. appointment next week, hopefully i can get on accutane. I've been begging my derm. for a year now, but she keeps giving me all these nonsense creams to try...but she told me the next step is accutane! WOOHOO! lol

I hope your skin stays beautiful forever sami!! =D

[samismurf]

thanx alot :)

[MissCoutureable]

btw.. u look great..

[samismurf]

hey thanx alot! my hair super messy though but I'll take the compliment!

[MissCoutureable]

is your skin baby clear.. do you still get alot of acne? or has ur skin been clear ever since ?

[samismurf]

well it's adult skin, nothing like a baby's bum ;) but it's great! nope, get tiny pimples in no stress situation, in stress situation, lets say I get 10 to 15 which makes me freak out, but it only happened once in 6 monhts!

[MrsJonas2038]

i'm almost done with my last month (month 7) because my dermatologist wanted me to go on an extra month just to improve my skin a lilttle bit more... i haven't gotten one pimple yet, but i still have a lot of red marks left that will hopefully fade soon! can't wait to be done!

[jubilantjude]

[Shnergen]

[sonyita10]

Hey Sam..one more thing..my dermatologist said vitamine B can cause acne..I took vit B a couple of days(i didnt know it was vitB) and i started to breakout..I dont know if its cause of vitB, stress or cause im off accutane one month....Maybe this info about vit B is useful : ) Regards from Peru...

[samismurf]

Oh I said Vitamine E btw ;)
