16yo moderate to bad acne skincare

[foodoid]

I’m 16 years old and I have moderate to fairly bad acne, especially with red marks from previous spots and acne. Getting tret or acctuane isn’t an option cos my parents won’t allow it and the dermatologist path is expensive and will take a lot of pestering to achieve. When I turn 18 I’d definitely be able to do it myself but I was wondering if there’s anything else I could do until then or if my acne will go away over time when my hormones become more chill

everything else is cope- hormonal acne can only be stopped with accutane or tret. Fine be a spot face if u wanna until puberty ends

Accutane isn't hard to manage on your own and you could get a job to get your own money to finance it

Tbf money isn’t a problem it’s just the other stuff I’m worried about messing up treatment somehow cos obv I’m doing it alone but 20mg daily with moisturiser and spf is all I need fs?

What dosing should I get and how long should I stay with that before switching

 

[avgsub5human]

What dosing should I get and how long should I stay with that before switching

start with 0.025 if u respond well and ur skin has adapted u can go on 0.05, but take ur time with it like id say a month minimum 0.025

How long does the whole treatment usually take and after increasing to 0.5 do I just stick with it forever until it clears?

well depends on the person, 0.025 works super well for some and some cant even up it whereas some can go straight to 0.1 after a while, u just need to watch how irritated ur skin gets. at first u skin might peel or flake even on 0.025 but dont stress it, u might even purge a tiny bit but u need to stick with it. id say clearing will start month 3 but it might even start earlier or later its really hard to know. just make sure u dont get overly irritated, u might even wanna start with 0.025 3x a week then once every two days etc. get cisaplast baume b5 and use that 1x weekly or more as needed, id recommend cerave moisturizing lotion aswell for daily use if u have oily skin. also cerave hydrating cleanser is also a must, since ull also be using spf daily.

 

[avgsub5human]

id recommend using tret for life since it also works as anti aging so its a very good topical its like a holy grail u either want accutane or tret.

Alright thanks so just to clarify I should only increase frequency or dosage when my skin stops flaking and gets irritated right and then gradually increase as it gets used to the new levels
