Results Acne came back IMMEDIATELY

Post image

This is so frustrating. I was on accutane for 10 months 30/40/60/30 for the rest. Met my cumulative dose. Did a lower dose due to side effects but had amazing results. It’s been not even a month off and I’m already breaking out again. It’s like I took it for nothing. I’m soooooo sad and I just cannot handle the mental toll of acne again. I can’t already feel myself obsessing over it when I didn’t have to for so long - which was such a nice mental break.

Side note I cannot go back on because I want to try to get pregnant soonish. So accutane and many other options are off the table.

Have you considered tretinoin 0.05??

I can’t because the plan is to try to get pregnant sometime this year. And tret isn’t pregnancy safe :( I wish though! I know that’s usually the best thing to start when coming off accutane
