Is it bad I’m ab to start 0.025% tret 20mg isotret at the same time?

 

[WrathBP]

so, Accutane and tret at the same time? I wouldn't recommend lol, i say drop the topical tret and up the isotret dose depending on internal factors, height, weight, diet

You also need to take a holistic approach

Lifestyle is massively important (up to a point)

And combating age with lifts and botox etc (UP TO A POINT YET AGAIN - DO NOT OVERDO IT AND GHOULMAXX LIKE ALL THOSE MIDDLE AGED FEMALE HOLLYWOOD CELEBS!!! Be tasteful and tactful and accept agepill comes for us all in the end)

Is azelaic acid actually worth it

 

[WrathBP]

Is azelaic acid actually worth it

looking into it now, but I mean honestly it doesn't seem like it's harmful to use. id say it up to choice rather than absolute.
What it's used for:
Azelaic acid, a tyrosine inhibitor, also helps reduce pigmentation, therefore is particularly useful for darker skinned patients whose acne spots leave persistent brown marks (postinflammatory pigmentation) or who have melasma.
Azelaic acid has both anti-inflammatory properties and targets hyperpigmentation. Its keratolytic properties means it is both exfoliative and comedolytic.

Azelaic acid: Uses, Application and More — DermNet

Azelaic acid is used as a topical treatment for mild to moderate acne; it may also be useful in treating rosacea and lentigo maligna. The cream should be discontinued if severe redness, scaling, itching or burning occurs.
