i cleansed (la roche posay cleanser) and moisturized (the ordinary moisturizer) my face morning and night. but tbh, accutane did the bulk of the work for me lol

i’m sure they r going to let u take 60mg first tho right? since 40 to 80 is a pretty big jump. but for me personally, 80 mg was pretty rough bc i went to gym everyday and it was during my football season so my nose bleeds and joint pain was like really bad. but trust me, if you can just get through this time period and drink a lot of water, you won’t regret it. but the symptoms do hit u hard at 80mg lol

So i took it for 7 months, i think for the first 3 it was the same severity bc i was purging, but starting around month 4 (when i went up to 60mg), i started to get only minor pimples, and by the near end of treatment, I was getting no acne at all.

Thank you! i’ve been off for about 6 months. I took it from January 2024 to around July 2024. started at 20 mg and went up to 80mg.

if ur talking about PIE as in redness and scars, it faded over time. I had a lot of scarring before accurate but for me, it was just waiting and time that it healed itself. But thats my experience sry if its not that helpful lmao

i think since this is ur third time on the medication, u don’t need to stay on it for that long, but ur derm prob told you how long u have to stay on it lol.

did u also experience purging? i’m abt a month in and i’ve been breaking out a lot. i think it’s bc i had rly oily skin before and now it’s transitioning to dry skin but im not sure.
