So I have Black heads and generally poor skin (pimples are only a part of the problem), but good hair and my skin is also fine when you leave my face.

My thinking goes that accutane is more combating sebum production -> less acne/pimples,
Where as retin-A may help with the blackheads too, and makes more sense as my issue pertains to a particular area.

I hope this may enlighten others, so if you are in a similar boat, look into ordering from Indian pharmacies or jetting to another country to stock up on products.
 
Retin a is enough.

Accurate is for people with seriously bad acne

Just get some tretinoin from an online pharmacy

Accutane is a very aggressive drug and there is a chance of getting bald forever and a lot of side effects,
unless you have severe acne, its best to take Retin-A with Clindamycin

Washing your face in the morning and then Clindamycin
Washing your face in the evening and then Retin-A
Works great for a lot of people and pretty fast as well (just don't forget that you have to go through the purge phase)

Retin a is good enough as it decreases your skin's production of sebum and increases cell turnover. Accutane is heavy duty shit for those that have insanely severe acne.

I have read washing your face in the morning is bad because your body creates a natural film over your face for the day by washing you’re stripping the film

Yes, this was my thinking too. Accutane is thrown around a lot as a meme for a pimple or two haha.
Will hit the Retin-A train when beach-season is over, besides I also have red-light therapy and derma-pens in transit - I may even owe you all a before/after.

Godspeed

Its for the cream, I am not saying this as one of "just wash your face bro" advises but
rather what professional dermatologists say to do when take Retin-A and Antibiotics
also I really doubt that water can do that alone anyways unless you wash really aggressively

Good advice. Accutane is only worth it if you have bad cystic acne. Taking accutane could completely ruin your life for good. That's why docs only give it for bad cases.
