Due to health reasons I can’t take accutane at the moment. Over the past three years and a half I’ve prioritised gut health, tried different antibiotics, creams and products overall. Some have helped and I’ve been able to reduce acne, currently my routine is

Morning

Cerave cleanser
Benzoyl peroxide
Moisturiser
spf


Night

Cerave cleanser
Azelaic acid
Moisturiser

This has helped the most and I’ve increased % for both. But I am just curious if it is good to continue, or a way to fully get rid of acne without accutane, most people I know and see use it now

if this is what works for u then theres no need to ask for advice
skincare is not one size fits all
 
yeah
did u even read what he said bru
and its useless, all roads lead to isotret its so much cheaper and much less work than anything else all the sides are optional aswell

I can’t due to health problems.

Sorry I meant to include that I’m hitting a road block with it and I’m starting to see less improvement
 
Try tret or tazarotene

what health problems? i promise you theres always another way
My doctor said my liver enzymes are a bit elevated, so I can’t take accutane. I don’t want to go on a whole spewl about it and at this point I’m ready to take it regardless. If you know a way around then lmk

look into Ursodeoxycholic Acid
 
your using 2 cleansers (benzoyl and cerave) which is nuking your skin. better to js use a more gentle cleanser. also i would hop on tretinoin which is the closest your gonna get to accutane.

Why not tretinoin. It’s a cream you apply to your face and it’s essentially topical accutane. Dermatologists prescribe it to everyone.

Just use tretinoin at night, it already fits into your routine nothing would have to change and it's a super easy prescription

I’ve tried that before and didn’t see much results.. I’ll give the acid a bit longer and if not I’ll go back to niacinamide. Thanks for the reply

Forgot to say I use a cerave cleanser with salicylic acid 2% at night and in the morning I use Micellar fluid and then wash it off.
I use a cleanser only 1 time a day to not Irritate my skin even more and like I said before I use a moisturiser after and I mix a normal spf with tinted to not make it obvious

how bad is your acne
im on 5mg daily of accutane just because i have some pimples now and then
it doesnt really have any side effects at a low dose

It’s easier to show a picture. I got to give myself a little credit because I used to have a lot of active acne, I get a few here and there but now it’s primarily scarring and these marks and uneven skin tone etc. which I’ve been told azelaic will help with

Accutane will not destroy your health holy fuck
Can you read? I can’t take it because OF a health/medical problem I have. I went on it months ago and it did make that problem worse
