Low dose Isotretinoin (Accutane) vs. Full Skincare Routine w/ regular tretinoin?

[Deleted member 32954]

Is it honestly just a waste of time and money to be blowing $100s every single month on skincare products tailored to "muh oily skin" when you can pop a pill a day for less than $50 a month? Mind you this is only for a low dosage, and so far the evidence for low dose Accutane yielding the same results with almost no sides for 99% of people is convincing.

Would cycling 10 mg ED for 10-12 weeks with 1 week off be a good idea? Has anyone tried both a full skincare routine and just accutane by itself?

10 mg daily wont do shit for a long time

isotretinoin closes growth plates, just use tretinoin properly or don't use it at all

Topical tret or you can get adapalene for cheap without prescription

lose dose accutane might not even work for you. it changes from person to person. you also need to have a consistent skincare routine as accutane makes your skin very very dry.

My skin care routine cost $20-$30 a month. No ones spending $100 a month on skincare products.

people spend 200+ a month but its dumb because anything after 30-60$ falls under the law of diminishing returns
