why though?
I apply sun protection and I have no acne do I still need it?
Like what does it do in long term? what are sides?
It remodels your skin to have more collagen and better quality above and beyond what would be naturally possible otherwise

how much one should take brother?
Accutane orally, probably 10mg/day at most

Tazerotene 0.05-0.01% is good enough to reap 85-100% of the anti aging/collagen benefit from what I understand

should one take glutathione as well? since I heard accutane rapes liver? is it worth taking it if one does not have acne?

Unless youve got accute liver failure or went on a binging spree, injectable glutathione is complete garbage by the way

By using it youre throwing your bodies redox balance completely out of wack as youre body relies on ROS for hormetic signalling

Nac paired maybe with glycine is in my opinion more than enough for low grade oxidative stress
since I heard accutane rapes liver?
Rapes is a strong word. Especially at 10mg which is a subclinical dose where the toxicity is likely negligible
Mind you i was running 40mgs everyday with 10mg LGD, anavar, and other liver toxic compounds heavy weightlifting everyday in a steep surplus and still had only what would be considered mikd elevations in liver enzymes
is it worth taking it if one does not have acne?
Im not 100% sure if it provides unique benefits to the deeper layers of the dermis relative to topical retinoids, but its mechanistically plausible so I will do it personally
