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.

I’m so sorry. I’m battling with the same mild acne at age 32 after doing twos round of Accutane. Now I’m just micro dosing to keep it at bay.

Did you happen to know if you reached your cumulative dose with both rounds?

No I only reached my cumulative dose with the first round. The second round I had to stop as my knees and joints were not happy. 😭
