Acne.org Products
hey guys! i just recently started month 5 of accutane so i'm close to being finished! i am pretty happy with the way my skin looks at the moment. i only have one active spot and the rest is scarring and hyper-pigmentation. for skin care all i am using is cetaphil gentle skin cleanser and cetaphil moisturizing lotion. my derm told me not to use skin care with acne fighting ingredients (benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, etc) since the accutane would be so drying. i'm wondering when i go off accutane should i keep my skin care routine the same or use different skin care products that help fight acne? i'm just worried that my "gentle" skin care routine won't be enough once i'm off accutane.
If you're a female with acne that is mainly hormonal (oily skin etc.), you're always gonna be battling this condition. You may keep your skin clear post-accutane but you'll probably see acne again within a year, just hopefully to a MUCH lesser degree. I recommend taking 2 spearmint capsules a day to lower free testosterone.
