Personal Accutane Experience

[Deleted member 65576]

Curious for everyone's Accutane (isotretinoin) journey/experience.

Im currently approaching the 2nd month on 30mg and i'm still breaking out, purging, my current state of skin if like 2x worse than baseline.

I'm already doing the basic things, like take it with fatty food, sunscreen, dry everything counteracting, restricted exercise amount.

I'm mostly curious on when did it start to get better for you, and what were the end results. Photos are welcome too.

Zinc Picolinate 50mg from NOW foods and Epiduo gel did more then 6 monthes of 20-30mg Accutane for me.

If you have moderate acne, n u re on 20-30mg do not wait for any improvements until 8th month quite literally, if you have severe cases it might take a year, lower dosages are basically a disaster, btw almost attempted suicide on accutane, your mental health and school/grades will go down on it most likely

Try epiduo/adapalene/benzoyl peroxide face wash, literally, almost the month i added bezoyl peroxide to my skincare i found that it was mostly useless and benzoyl peroxide is almost the only one which can do a lot more then others,
If youre american or westerner youre lucky because you can order PanOxyl's bezoyl peroxide cleanser and it literally will clear up your skin alone, in Europe its unavailable and very expensive to get any benzoyl peroxide product and ppl even search suppliers for it

Epiduo and Adapalene are leave on treatments, literally will do magic overnight, and benzoyl peroxide wash 5% and above will focus on killing the bacteria that causes acne, if you go with epiduo gel then give it time for like a 3 monthes and it will do wonders, you can also try Tretinoin, but its hard to get as it is prescription only and I really dont know if it will be better then adapalene for acne, tretinoin is mainly used for discoloration and age related skin orders, while adapalene and bezoyl peroxide are mainly targetting acne

I was on epiduo for 3months but it did nothing, benzoyl peroxide neither, acne.org regimen neither. I had a mild to moderate case before accutane but now it's kinda severe 2 months in, purging.

I'm not worried about GH and Igf-1 levels cause 6'1 is good enough for me even if I don't grow anymore.

I will ask the derm about Zinc, thanks bhai.

Zinc is general a powerful acne treating agent, but in specifical form "zinc picolinate" its optimal for skin

Doesnt stunt height only at doses 120+ ed for a long period
For igf the medical doses are too high u can lower the doses urself to not affect igf, but tbh i ran accutane at 15 and i grew an inch until 16 which is around my expected height so i dont think the affect is 100% the study probably had variables not accounted for

 

[Rigged]

That’s a good alternative. Zinc Picolinate and Epiduo can be op for acne without dealing with Accutane.

Zinc Picolinate is a form of zinc that’s easy for the body to absorb. Zinc itself is good for boosting your immune system and has anti inflammatory properties, which help stop acne. Taking 50mg is too much, so probably lower that to avoid copper deficiency or other sides

Epiduo Gel is really good with adapalene (a retinoid) and benzoyl peroxide. This is good for acne bacteria and keeps the skin cells renewing. It can be drying and a bit harsh at first, but it’s effective.

Literally 20mg dosage for 3 monthes only, which is literally the smallest dosage available
" Results: After 3 months of treatment with ISO, luteinizing hormone (LH) (p < 0.001), prolactin (p < 0.001), total testosterone (p < 0.001), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) (p < 0.001), cortisol (p < 0.001), insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 3 (p < 0.001), insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) (p = 0.002), growth hormone (GH) (p = 0.002) and free T3 (fT3) (p < 0.001) levels had decreased significantly."

Most of doctors dont read any of these studies just because dermatologists are more worried about skin cancer patients, then your retarded acne.

I suppose you can avoid hormone reducement if you are injecting GH or are on MK-667 test etc.
Its clear that the only reason Sam Sulek's skin looks not as bad as before on heavy steroids is that he takes accutane with steroids, but its obviously unhealthy and his liver is probably dying

You're right that these are good alternatives to Accutane, but if I'm not wrong none of them are permanent, right?

I mean at least with accutane, once you finish it, it's life long skin improvement

Accutane should be the last thing you should take for acne, but, it literally can be the only cure for it.
Accutane is still a drug that is researched on how it really works, all we know is that its a synthetic vitamin A which is used to shut down the activity of oil glands in the body causing the skin to be drier therefore treating acne.
Now people don’t really like accutane because of the lack of researched and information gathered around this drug which raises a concern on the affects it has on the liver and the endocrine system, but, if we see those studies about the hormones it affects, at the end, we can clearly see that they state “We conclude that isotretinoin causes mild suppression of pituitary hormone levels, which may be beneficial for tackling the pathogenesis of acne”.
What does this mean? it means that those specific hormones cause acne to grow and appear and accutane lowers them to help with acne treatment.
Now, if you have tried everything, like gut medication, anti-histamines, supplements (D3, VitC, Mag, Zinc, Glycine, Fish Oil), antibiotics, topical creams, then yeah, try accutane, for me it personally saved my life and the only side effect I suffered was cracked lips and blood nose.

It honestly depends on the person, some clear up after a month on 40 mg (my cousin).

There is no cure in dermatology, but, you can “cure” it with repeated routines.

I doubt it's a permanent reduction of androgens and thyroid hormones, I don't care if my test decreases by 1% for the duration of the treatment, in exchange of clear skin.

Im a High T bull already.

That's roughly fucking 3mg/DAY, what results do you plan on having at that dose? Which braindead jew derm prescribed you with that miniscule dose? There are people who take 80x your dose everyday, most people start on 20mg/day.

 

[Dyorotic]

Accutane is honestly one of the best drugs ever created.

utterly obliterates oily skin
noticeably shrinks pores
constantly exfoliates skin
increases procollagen III at the same rate as topical retinoids
treats hyperpigmentation & UV damaged skin

the list could go on. If you're a teen wait for puberty to end then go on it.

U dont purge for 6 months only 1 and some people dont purge i didnt, 20mg is also a lwo dose, acne rarely comes back post tane, ull get it sometimes which u can stop by using a proper skincare routine

Thx for using a krager post, ik that its based of a pubmed study i read both, can u even comprehend what its saying cause i dont think u do, all it says is that its statistically probable that it decreases it, they didnt show how much, we dont know how much is considere significant as far as we know 5% could be significant for then
