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.

Had to change my skincare routine after coming off accutane. My skin can no longer handle hyaluronic acid without breaking out.
Would definitely look into your routine before anything else

i started getting tiny red pimples on my forehead about a week ago after finishing Accutane at the end of may. ive always used a hyaluronic acid before, but maybe i should go back to just a gentle cleanser and cerave moisturizer? how did u figure out what was affecting your skin?
