Using tretinoin on isotretinoin will worsen hyperpigmentation instead of improving it, not to mention making your skin drier and prone to irritation. Use sunscreen regularly, specifically SPF 30-50+, also consider using niacinamide as it reduces the movement of melanin from pigment-producing cells to the surface of the skin, while also strengthening the skin barrier and calming inflammation.

I have had the same problem as you, I currently do 0.025% and 20mg isotret. TRET = for PIH / Hyperpigmentation, Accutane = active acne and permannt acne. SPF is a must, UVA rays mainly is the thing that darkers your PIH. B5 balm will also help you if u combine these 2

0.05% will help you, but accutane isnt going to help the specifi problem you have
