Can Accutane also take away the oily skin?

i know its good to have oily skin, i guess, but i have TOO MUCH. it pisses me off cuz its so nasty and ugh! i cant even put my face in the sun cuz it just shines from the oil, yuck. im on Accutane right now and ive been on it for a week so far. i was jus wondering if it will also take the oily skin away?Can Accutane also take away the oily skin?
Yes. That's basically how it cures acne. Be patient.





Accutane (its generic name is isotretinoin) is a drug derived from vitamin A, and is taken orally. It essentially stops the oil production in your sebaceous glands (the oil-producing structures of the skin) and literally shrinks these glands to the size of a baby's. This prevents sebum (oil) from clogging the hair follicle, mixing with dead skin cells, rupturing the follicle wall, and creating pimples or cysts. Normal oil production resumes when treatment is completed and the sebaceous glands slowly begin to grow larger again, but never (or at least rarely) as large as they were before treatment.

Yes, it really will.


Accutane inhibits the secretion of sebum in your sebaceous glands, so that little to no oil gets out, and thus it's used as an acne treatment.


I've been on it and it got to the point where I wasn't making oil in my hair either and my eyes and lips were getting dryer too. But it was worth the necessary moisturizing, eyedrops and chapstick, because my face cleared up and my skin never looked greasy.


Now that I'm off it, my skin produces oil normally, but I bought some blotting papers to attempt to deal with that issue.


Good luck and I hope my answer helped you!
accutane dries ur skin out like craaazy. plus it makes u dehydrated so u have to drink lotsa water. ur face will start to become dry later in the month so just wait
