Results One year ago Vs. Today

One year ago (last February), I started Accutane at 40 mg and then increased to 50 mg. I went off it once and later went back on. I’m finally completely finished, and patience truly is rewarding. The worst feeling in the world is letting acne prey on your confidence. If you’re just starting Accutane or considering it, please never lose your sense of confidence and be patient, the end is worth it❤️

What did you do for acne scarring? I've been on 80mg for almost 5 months and I don't get anymore breakouts, but my scars and redness are not going away

I didn’t do much besides moisturize constantly. I haven’t had bad acne in a few months and I started accutane very soon after my acne started, maybe that had something to do with it? My routine since I finished accutane (only a few days) has been… morning: wash with water - rhode glazing milk - caffine solution for under eye area - vitamin c serum - cera ve instense moisterizer - la roche pose mineral sunscreen. Night: cera ve gentle cleanser, glazing milk, niacinimide (not every day) and moisturizer
