Found 2.5 years old Isotretinoin capsules (20mg) in my drawer. Never been opened. Should I use them.

Manufactured in March 2021, expires in Feb 2024. Would it be safe to use these. I need to fix my acne.

I hate accutane with a passion but love tretinoin topically

how many? I took 20mg a day for like 7-8 months so it wouldn't be good to stop mid treatment, just order more. Also I wouldn't recommend accutane since there is a theory that it can affect your growth plates, and give u depression if u had it before

Yes exactly, just go for tretinoin. You'll still purge but it won't mess with your brain since it's topical

I have 15 caps. I'd taken some back then but stopped it because I suspected it was messing with my stomach. But now my acne has gotten severely bad so I'm worried.

Yea I hope so. Will 0.1% tretinoin will do the trick?

Also what should I do with the pills then?

You should take accutane, oral is so much simpler than topical in my opinion.

I think you should start with something like 0.025%, I'm not quite sure but u can search it up here on the .org. Yeah 15 caps ain't gonna be enough for anything, that's not even a month and then you would need to get more with prescription if you're in Europe or similar.

I'm not actually a professional, I just prefer oral use over topical.
