"i&#039;m on my 6th week of accutane, i suffered from mild/persistent acne for about 6 years, i am now 21. the first few weeks i saw absolutely no results, just dry skin and chapped lips, which progressed to dry skin and bad break outs by week 3 or so. but by week 4 i started seeing my skin clear up, i saw my face completely clear up by the end of week 4 (minus scars). however, after 3-5 days of no new acne i had a flare up, which didn&#039;t last long. now going into week 6 and coming off another acne free week, my acne is flaring up, but not as bad as usual though. i&#039;m on day 40 or 41 and i&#039;m hoping soon these small flare ups go away, but for now all i can do is stay positive."
