All roads lead to isotretinoin

 

[Mess]

Just go on isotret.
And a thick moisturiser, the rest is useless.

To many products, will most likely cause skin irritation, definitely stay away from facial scrubs. A cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen is enough. Maybe add a serum and 2-3x weekly treatment as needed.

salicylic acid cleanser 5x a week is definitely too much, will dry out and irritate your skin unless you have extremely oily skin

Good to know ty. How many times per week should I use it? I'm guessing twice

if you have very oily skin + trying to get rid of acne, 5x a week should be fine unless you notice redness or dryness. but if you have normal to dry skin I would recommend 3 to 4x a week max because your skincare is already quite intensive
