Ive tried all sorts of serums and creams after struggling with acne for years (no i never did accutane, i wanted a long term solution) and i have finally figured out a few things that work for me

Skin type - oily and acne prone

1) Cleanser, nights only

2) Moisturiser - I use 2 types. The first is a barrier repair moisturiser at night and the second is a basic light moisturiser in the mornings.

3) Sunscreen: water

4) Azaleic acid: Prescription strength, evened out my skin and removed acne scars.

4) Tazarotene alternate nights. This shit mogs tretinoin SO hard i tried for months with tret and it left my skin flaky and dry even with the barrier repair cream. YMMV. Another option is adalapene, it worked great for clearing my skin too but i wanted anti-aging effects.

Thats all, I dont use anything else. My skin is mogger now compared to when i was using 10+ products.

can we see a before and after
 
you cant take accutane forever retard
And you don’t need to. For most patients a cycle of ~6 months on accutane is enough to permanently remove acne.
