Acne

[papa.squat]

What the hell can I do for my acne, I've been using adapalene gel, injectable GHK-CU 5% benzoyl peroxide, 2% salicylic acid and a cleanser and moisturizer when needed. I have a good diet and eat whole foods and its only gotten worse. (Accutane isn't an option right now) (1.5 months in)

why is accutane not an option? its the only option that should be considered for acne tbh besides anti androgens

A dermatologist isn't going to give me that for the next half year

adapelene and a ton of actives why would you do this?, drop almost everything, get a simple moisturizer and cleanser that are gentle and wont strip your barrier, add in a topical retinoid such as tretinoin (start at 0.025-0.05 and taper up if you can tolerate), spf 50 in the morning, you can continue the ghk-cu but its not allat

ideally you would hop on accutane while having a simple routine with no actives and spf 50, then you would switch to a topical retinoid simple routine after you're done, if you have acne scars after the accutane routine you could add in something like ghk-cu combined with microneedling or get the scars clinically done, if you really cared about anti aging you could also use something like a topical estrogen cream combined with tretinoin and spf 50 daily or micro dose accutane (I DONT RECCOMMEND THIS FOR MOST PEOPLE)

you dont need tret after finishing an accutane cycle he can just run low dose accutane after (like u said its good for anti aging aswell)

yeah but i dont think alot of people want to keep microdosing accutane for ages considering there are some annoying side effects, thats why i suggested the routine most people would take (cleanser, moisturizer, spf, tret)

I use 10mg for my microdose and only side is mild dry eyes and nose sometimes, however he could even use 5mg as you dont need alot, the goal is just to prevent your sebaceous glands from reversing and getting larger after ur accutane cycle

accutane is dirt cheap there are sources selling it for like $30 per year , sourcing this shit is actually easy af and most dermatologists will prescribe it if you just larp being depressed cuz of acne that never seems to go away
