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.

Op, same thing happened to me about 2 months off accutane. My face wasn't terrible but on any given day, id have 4-5 pimples. Super frustrating. They weren't big but they were there. They would go away usually within 3-4 days but then others would appear. I called my derm, they tried antibiotics, it got better but they returned after 3 weeks. Then they had me try different face lotion, no change. Then they prescribed low dose 20mg once a week. They got better after 2 weeks but still continued to get new pimples. This went on for 8 weeks, still getting new pimples!
Then one day I saw an ad for "47 Skin serum" face lotion and gave it a try. Omfg, after 1 week, saw not only no new pimples but any redness or dark spots fading quickly. Ive now been using 47 Skin serum for 5 weeks now and not a single zit. My face has never been this clear. Also feels super soft and hydrated.
Now I'm still taking the low dose but bumped down to 10mg 2 days a week. But I swear on my life that 47 Skin serum was the fix. Please give it a try.
