I started taking isotretinoin about two or three months ago, starting with a dose of 32 mg (16 mg in the morning and 16 mg in the evening).My weight is 80kg, so it is small dosage. At first, my skin became extremely dry, and my lips were very dry as well. I reduced the dose to 16 mg and stayed on it for about a month.

Now I have been back on 32 mg for two weeks, and my skin is not getting dry at all, with only minimal dryness on my lips. I don’t even moisturize my skin every day, whereas before, if I skipped moisturizing for even one day, my skin would start peeling badly.

Would it be okay for me to increase the dose to 48/64 mg, or would it be better to wait? Additionally, I’m taking omega-3 along with it, and currently I’m not using anything else for my skin besides moisturizer.

My skin has improved a lot, but it is still far from being completely clear.

I would wait before upping the dose, isotretinoin usually takes a long time for clear skin you just gotta wait it out.

Well, I took it, and the inflammation decreased. The negative effects on my skin also became much less severe. That's exactly why I want to increase the dose. It should work more effectively while giving me about the same side effects I had before on the lower dose.

Half of you body weight, you can try to start with 20mg first month and up the dose by 10mg next month or even 20mg the next month. Then up the dose by 10mg every month until 6 months it over so the 2nd month will be 40mg for example and the 3rd will be 50,60,70... and so on until improvement is seen hit the derm ofc but that i usually what they for mild acne patients

If its your 3rd month currently ut the dose to 48 if you packets go 12mg by 12mg (i dont know mine are 10-10 or 20-20) up it 12mg more or if you canjust straight up up it to 50mg and go 10 mg by per 10mg per month when your acne starts to clear nearing the end of the months you can lower the dose back to 32mg or 48-40 (half of your body weight) close to finishing the medication

Idk maybe it will work. Since I started on 32 mg, it was too much for me at first, so I dropped back to 16 mg. After that, I went back up to 32 mg. Now I think it's probably time to increase to 48 mg for a while.
