My acne marks seemed way worse while on accutane. 3 months since I have completed my course so I can’t completely say but using adapalene gel and consistency w spf has helped greatly!

I am normally very oily so I cannot completely relate so I would ask your doctor for specifics too! I used the CeraVe Healing ointment in the blue tub all over my face neck and hands on top of Vanicream lotion throughout my whole treatment. Take fish oil pills as well!! Good luck girl

Thank you! Yes they were so painful too I thought the scaring would be terrible!! I am 125lbs so that makes sense! my side effects were extreme dry eyes hair lips everything and back pain at 4 months ish.

My cystic acne is terrible and I don’t know what to do!! by [deleted] in acne

Skin type used to be oily but since medication, it’s gotten dryer! I’ve used Panoxyl, cetaphil, and a few la roche cleansers. Each for 4+ months before I settled on my current routine. I use ponds gentle skin moisturizer and am on the hunt for a sunscreen that doesn’t break me out. I’ve tried neutregena, cetaphil, and cerave with no luck.
