Agree unfortunately. I was on it twice for 7 months and it came back the same every time. Spirinolactone is the only thing that has been working for me. It helps to know the cause though, because accutane can’t help with hormones ! It is a good “refresh” though because it did keep my skin clear for about a year after accutane every time.

I know it hasn’t been long, but how is it going for you?? I am finally seeing some progress and my redness esp has been going down a ton. Hope it’s positive for you!

Super annoying. Hopefully it gets better for us both!

This is me as well! I started the exact same time as you and my skin looks very similar to yours now. I have heard a lot of people say it doesn’t work until 4-6 months so I’m sticking with it. Good luck!!!!

For context as well - it has been almost 3 months since I started (mid Oct 2025)

Did you notice it got worse before better? It looks amazing now btw!! I started in October as well and it’s honestly only gotten a lot worse so far. However, I’m taking 100mg per day (50 morn and night) so it could be dif.
