If Chamberlain is experiencing a bad breakout or just having a particularly stressful week, she tells her followers about it. That's something they've always known they can count on her for, but the reason why she does it goes much deeper. "I have always felt really comfortable sharing those things because I feel really good when somebody else can relate and when they connect and that's something that helps keep me going," said Chamberlain.
So, when she started Isotretinoin (formerly known as Accutane) as at the start of 2020 to cure her acne, sharing the ups and downs of that journey was a no-brainer. Isotretinoin is one of the strongest oral medications used to treat severe acne and needs to be prescribed by a doctor. While it can be very effective, there are quite a few side effects associated with it.
"It's actually good to shed light on it, because as a kid, you'd see celebrities that you look up to and you'd be like, "God, they have such perfect skin. How is that possible?"' said Chamberlain. "You don't realise that so many celebrities have been on Accutane." She wants to make good skin feel "attainable" for everyone because growing up, it didn't feel that way for her: "[I'm] sharing the truth, like, yes, I went on a medication for seven months to get the skin that I have. I was not born with this."
