ISOTRETINOIN

What is isotretinoin?

Isotretinoin is a powerful prescription only vitamin a derived retinoid. It is used to combat severe acne. This is the most overkill treatment for acne and guaranteed to clear your acne. Please do not use tretinoin or taz or any other cope this is systemic and superior.

How it works?

Isotretinoin works by shrinking the sebaceous glands, unclogging pores, reducing inflammation, and lowering bacteria that causes acne. It is most effective in cystic acne, papules, and blackheads, it is less effective in reduction of jawline acne and milder acne. Its effects last even after stopping and works cumulatively so dose is finalized early on but split across days. However effects are not permanent further side effects will be addressed.

Dosage and timing:

Dosage of isotretinoin is calculated by your body weight 120-150mg per kg of body weight for those outside of Europe 54-68 mg per lb of body weight. It does not matter when it is taken as the product works by accumulation not day to day difference as long as you are consistent over days you are fine. I prefer the long approach to not risk side effects however as long as you dont go over 80mg a day you are fine 10mg is too low start at 20mg its a waste of time. State of dose does matter in isotretinoin although older studies had preferred isotretinoin to be taken with a meal that includes fat newer studies show higher absorption via a fasted state. see below:
1771697842150


Where to purchase?

Isotretinoin is on the cheaper side and is widely available through many sources. I had purchased mine via indiamart paid £120 for the whole supply. It is unlikely that you will find counterfeit isotretinoin this way, however, still is possible make sure they are trusted and have certificates, and obviously packaging has not been tampered with.


Alternatives:

For all you topical nerds that are scared of a pill, other forms of retinoids are available however they are not systemic such as tretinoin, differin and Tazarotene. However all of these just cause flaking and texture refinement does nothing for more severe acne.

Side effects!! (read first grey)

Side effects include dryness, retinoid flare, dermatitis, nosebleeds, bleeding/damaged lips, dry eyes, sun sensitivity, sensitivity to alcohol, liver strain, avoid any lasers or acids on face, dull skin from lack of sebum. Note that skincare must be accounted for; Do not overwash, use a good moisturizer and spf everyday

Now how do we fix these:

Sun sensitivty: spf 50 daily even indoors

nosebleeds: isotonic saline spray or naseptin

damaged lips: reduce dose and/or humectant based lip balm

dry eyes: artificial tears especially if you use contacts

dermatitis: lower dose or b5 balm or steroid or reduce exposure to heat/sun

Liver strain: just dont drink shouldnt be anyways

try not to get pregnant as well i guess??


Post isotretinoin:

Now you can fix that dull skin that isotretinoin caused. azelaic acid can be introduced treat it as a topical retinoid or just jump straight to co2 laser works amazing here to clear any scars, pih, or post inflammation in the face (bit overkill yes but worth it). However it is recommended a few months wait after stopping as isotretinoin does affect healing so could make it worse although newer studies say it is irrelevant. It takes about 3-6 months off isotretinoin to see your skin alive again annoying but at least no acne is present.

TL;DR

Isotretinoin works wonders no need to cope with diet and cutting sugar.
just follow simple things tired of seeing people fucking up the basics in this. Can give more personalized advice just drop a reply ive tried tretinoin, azelaic, co2, differin, and isotretinoin.

Tretinoin is absolutely not cope and is the superior topical. You should do a cycle of accutane to prevent your body from producing cystic acne and reduce your sebum production overall, and after you should use topical tret since it has so many benefits besides acne prevention.

nice thread, bookmarked ;)

I have mild acne (a few big pimples on chin/philtrum area) and just white and blackheads everywhere (funga acne)

Should I micro dose isotret? I heard 5-10mg is micro dosage

I can get rid of those pimples easly with BPO 5% and basic skincare,
I just wanna get rid of my bad skin texture/redness and the fungal acne.

So no need for high dosage and cycles? I can just run for life no? :lul:


EDIT:
I also have acne on my whole body (back, chest, etc)
Will isotret get rid of that? And at what dose?

Will isotret get rid of that? And at what dose?

Ngl I had the same problem and yes it does does it’s systemic 0.5-1mg daily per kg of body weight usually for full dose 0.3-0.5mg per kg of body weight for microdose you can try 10mg but sometimes body acne persists if say 6 months of 20mg

Seriously, is it really necessary to do all those laser skin treatments you're talking about? Isotretinoin, a good moisturizer, a good facial cleanser, and at-home microneedling aren't enough to have decent skin?

This is if you want flawless skin otherwise you could just do isotretinoin
 
yes if you want feel sunburnt to the fourth degree

dont go above 40mg a day if its mild
80 if its severe
and run for 6months. twice and you will never have acne in your life again
You’re a fucking retarded imbecile😭😭😭not even taking weight into account you can’t tell someone hop on 40mg for 6 months and they’ll be good jfl cumulative dosing matters
 
You’re a fucking retarded imbecile😭😭😭not even taking weight into account you can’t tell someone hop on 40mg for 6 months and they’ll be good jfl cumulative dosing matters
are you a ape? unless your a fucking my olympia 40mg will hit cumulative for most after about 6 months ethier way it doesn’t fucking matter if your not having cystic acne and purely using it to remove aas induced ape since off cycle will turn your sebum down anyways jfl

Not necessarily you gotta be precise, there’s people that don’t sit around the typical 60-80kg range. Theres also people who want faster results and how to dose for perma results. Even if it’s not cystic acne you’d get perma results from dosing correctly.
 
Who wants to be on accutane for a year bro😭😭6 months max
per day year round or till your satisfied 🤦‍♂️
Also satisfactory skin usually comes around the 2 month mark but 2 months isn’t enough to clear permanently. Which is why some people use accutane for like 4 months then claim that accutane doesn’t work when they get rebound acne like retards. Explaining things exhaustively can’t be hard

low dose gives no sides what? on 20mg a day nothing changes.

no shit but who would run it for 2 months get the results on a low dose and think it wont return your putting to much thought into it. ethier way works

whole point in low dose on cycle is to prevent breakouts and scarring, Not to clear fully you still need your lipids good for blasts and accutane is more stress.

Well on roids yes that’s more nuanced, but in general accutane is a permanent treatment for breakouts, the reason people get breakouts after treatment is because of not using the correct cumulative dose is all I’m saying. And you can’t go off of your satisfaction because you’ll practically be satisfied with your skin in 2 months whereas in reality you’re not even half way into the prevention job lol that’s all im saying. It’s unspecified advice, you really don’t need to use isotret low dose long term if you dosed it right because you can cover that with retinoids
