Isotretinoin Routine

[Hexmask]

Hey everyone. So after some recommendations ive now been on a daily low dose of accutane (10mg). Im just curious if I should even use anything with this? In the past the only skincare thats worked for me is just water and beef tallow and I think cleansers are cope and most other products. Should I be using moisturizer at all? Or just let my skin heal? I believe I still have dermatitis that was induced by tret and I think moisturizer exacerbates that. Just curious what any of you skincels think.

@RealNinja made a guide

Comprehensive Guide to Tretinoin + How to Use it Best

INTRO Tret is commonly recommended to .org users for its power in reducing acne, anti-aging, and improving skin texture. However, there is a good bit of misinformation and I decided to write a post about the nuances of tret and how to use it without fucking your shit up and making your skin...

Yeah thats what ive been doing ever since I got the dermatitis I think its seb derm but cannot tell. I just remember it kept getting worse until I stopped the tret then I realized moisturizer makes it worse. I might just stick to that. I just hate how dehydrated my skin is without beef tallow.

Not yet. My eyes were a little watery the first few days. The theory and clinical data points to low dose being effective but yet side effect free in *most* people. Emphasizing most in this scenario.

Do you wet your face in the morning at all? Or just let it be

Why the low dose? I was recommended 40mg and my acne wasnt even that bad

10mg a day is proven to be an amount that should not give sides but is still effective. TV show hosts, actors a lot of them use this type of dosing since they have to be clear

So, is your acne bad or are you just running the dose because you dont want sides. I have only noticed eczema on my arms for short periods of time plus dry lips and dry eyes, and I have ran upwards of 80mgs.

 

[darwizzy27]

Not because I needed to but because I was sick and tired of my acne

Acne is mostly caused by ur hormones and diet. First of all, fix them. Once you fix these, they will go away over time even if you dont use tretonin. I got rid of pizza face just by fixing my diet jfl

Eh its in between, mainly from my hormones shifting so much and some roids here and there

Yes, because it disrupts hormonal balances.But idk if tretoin will work on steroidinduced acne.

What are the differences?

What are the differences?

One is topical and one is orally taken. 2 very different mechanisms but the same thing. Accutane is the only real solution imo most other stuff is cope
