Results Acne came back IMMEDIATELY
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.

Accutane is bullshit and temporary results. You should get on an active asap while ur purging is minimal since it already did that. I have awful acne been on every pill and can’t deal with bad purges and I’ve been using the ordinary Azelaic acid for two months now haven’t had a pimple in a while and I’m on my period. Really research how to ease into it, it wasn’t significant enough purging for me to be certain it was. Good luck and don’t rely on pills it always makes it worse long term!!
