Skin ideal

[joao2005]

Trying to be minimalist, I don't have acne but I have uneven and oily skin. What I'm going to do is isotretinoin 20mg 3 times a week, a non-comedogenic moisturizer and a mild cleanser, SPF 70 sunscreen, and microneedling at home every 15 days. Is this enough to achieve good skin?

What do you mean, I can't do microneedling while I'm on isotretinoin? Can you point me to a good topic about this, and also what would be the difference between using isotretinoin 3 times a week versus 2?

It’s just bcz isotret makes ur skin really sensitive and micro needle would irritate ur barrier any dermatologist would be against it, using isotret at 20mg around 2 to 3 times a week is not going to show results for u until a years time this is basic info on google - u need higher amounts because the effect/ shrinking of oil glands comes after a considerably high amount taken usually around 4000-9000mgs in total so I would recommend taking it every day.

Mark me as solution if this helped

É porque o isotretinoína deixa a pele muito sensível e as microagulhas podem irritar a barreira cutânea. Qualquer dermatologista seria contra. Usar 20 mg de isotretinoína de duas a três vezes por semana não mostrará resultados por pelo menos um ano. Essa é uma informação básica que você encontra no Google. Você precisa de doses maiores porque o efeito/redução das glândulas sebáceas só aparece depois de ingerir uma quantidade consideravelmente alta, geralmente entre 4000 e 9000 mg no total. Por isso, eu recomendaria tomar todos os dias.

Even though I don't have acne, do I have to consume such a high dose? Because what I have is uneven and very oily skin and some scars, which is why I mentioned low doses.


I'm also new to the forum, how do I mark this as a solution?

Check mark on the right to mark as solution, accutane in general doesn’t give any of its benefits at that scarce of a dose
