i took accutane 20 mg for a year straight and stopped using skin care and only used a foaming cleanser once in the morning and once at night (not rlly much u can do in this period just let the accutane do its thing) then after stopping accutane don’t listen to the cope methods like wear sunscreen everywhere and all the time it will simply make it worse and slow down the fading process to make my leftover scars fade quicker i simply just went outside and sat in the sun (i’m mediterranean and yes some ppl are more prone to burning in the sun and won’t achieve the tan i got simply bc of genetics) but do not wear sucscreen it was the worst thing i did and made me break out over and over again after this i would get 4 chemical peels smoothing the skin and vanishing any scars that were visable now all i have is some leftover red marks (P I E) that’s barley visable from what my skin was to now this is all i did.

1. Accutane is everything, cleanser dont matter when ur on it

2. Sunscreen while on accutane and a little while after is mandatory and especially with higher doses of it.

3. One pic is taken with a flash while the other is in a dark room

I can tell there has been huge improvement, but if you are going to take a before and after atleast use somewhat of a similar angle and lighting

I know you mentioned you had PIE which is invisible in a darker room and specific lighting

You could have just ended it here
Seriously, DNR the rest of the thread. It’s actually just wrong too, not even redundant but harmful info.

i guess and i just took a photo when i was writing it but even if i turn on flash there will be little to nothing except for PIE as i said bc that just goes with time imo sunscreen was the worst thing i could use when out in the sun now idk if there’s any bias in that bc both of my parents are from the adriatic coast and both have darkened skin and genetics so that just makes me brown faster in sun and burn way less than say a fully pale white person but i was just saying what helped me go from rlly severe acne to normal skin again
 
So basically everything is cope and i need to hop on accutane?
ideally only take if past growth plate closure, no point in getting rid of acne if you can't grow taller JFL
i have a manlet ethnicel friend who took accutane while still growing, he has some scarring leftover and is coping with muscles
i respect him tho

Did u use any Moisturizer?
moisturizer is surprisingly not retarded, it does help
but going beyond basic skincare is insane cope, do not go past face wash + moisturizer unless you have a skin condition that requires special care

The only reason it "helped" with your pie is because your skin tone matches the redness more when its less white

The pie is still there, just not as noticable

But seriously man, you cannot condone sunscreen while on accutane. As @aids said its harmful and can cause long term problems. Your skin will look terrible if you do that

but then wouldn’t you just say to people oh well fake tan or spray tan or tan just to match it to ur skin tone so it looks less noticeable?

OP you should’ve just keep it in 20mg accutane and stfu.

idk the science behind the growth stopping on it or anything i’m just telling you what happened to me but i was on it for 6 months quit for probably 2 months and then went back on for 6 months but don’t use me as a example most likely i was a rare case where i just grew bc of genetics

It didn’t work for you. Only the accutane part did.

You’re destroying your skin by not putting sunscreen, nothing else.

Bro im actually thinking about hopping on accutane but idk about the fact that is will stunt my growth is it even real? If so i will do xray and check if my growth plates are open and should i be aware of smth while being on accutane? im 17

basic google search indicates that it will only close your growth plates at a high dose, but your dermatologist probably knows best
