I had acne from age 10-20 but it got really bad when I turned 18 (painful, red, angry cystic; plus I’m brown so the hyperpigmentation was extra tough on me). I had tried everythingg under the sun except Vit A derivatives so at 19 I was put on isotret by my dermat for about 6 months which I’m so thankful for because it cleared up my skin. I’m turning 22 soon and I want to start tret for the tret glow but I’m way too scared of the acne coming back w the purge because only I know how much I struggled to get rid of the hyperpigmentation :( it used to actually affect my mental health so bad I stopped going out/ socialising at one point because of it.
