I’m currently on 60 mg Accutane and my skin has completely changed my appearance. I’ve always had acne-prone, oily skin with visible pores, but on Accutane my skin is crystal clear and my pores are basically invisible. It honestly feels like an aesthetic ascension.

I’ll be on it for 6 months total and eventually do 80mg at the end, and I know Accutane isn’t something you stay on long-term because of toxicity. My question is about maintenance after I stop.

Do you guys think:

• Cycling ultra-low dose Accutane (like 5 mg on/off) is worth it for keeping pores small and oil low?

or

• Is topical retinoids (tret/retinal) + strict SPF enough to maintain the results long-term without relapsing?


Basically, I’m trying to keep the low oil / tiny pore look without wrecking my health. Curious what’s actually worked long-term for people who had Accutane-level results and didn’t want to lose them.

Any insight ?

after finishing accutane journey stop accutane. 5mg does not affect that much so its useless, do a basic skincare routine based on your skintype instead.

and wtf is 80mg whats your weight
 
😭 I’m 155 6,1 It’s crazy high. It’s a derm tho so I’ll trust it. N my acne wasn’t even that bad before so it’s weird they are going this high.

you can be on 5 to 10mg accutane it is low dose long term pouposes but make sure it is under doctor and if you had to take a break i would recomend using bukachol topical do the basis like clensing with a gentle clenser and mostirize with sunsceen the rest is a scam i myself fixed my skin purly on diet i am hoping on accutane to destry the post inflametory marks and further ascend my texture and apperance also to shrinken my nose a bit

Yes it def shrinks nose 100%. N you can lwk fraud w tinted sunscreen to hide PIE, very easy to. You don’t think retionals are effective? And yes I try to avoid all sugar and gluten for skin.

But yeah accutane 100% worth it. Just supplement omega 3s, d3 and wear lots of sunscreen, don’t want any damage, but you should already be wearing a lot of sunscreen.

Yeah as long as it’s not noticeable that you have it on I think it’s good.

retnoids arent effective if you fixed your skin with accutane already what you want is maintainance not further skin reconstruction cuz something might fuck up it is more risk less reward here cuz you siad you already have clear crystal skin
