Hi everyone!! 27 yo F with a history of cystic back acne, papulopustlar rosacea, and forehead congestion. I have only been on low dose accutane for 6 weeks and I am so happy with me results. It’s exactly what my oil acne prone skin needed! I get sooooo many compliments on my skin. (Photos for reference have no makeup, just skincare)

I am on 20 mg daily. My back acne is mostly clear. I work in derm and this is what has worked for me.

- Vanicream gentle cleanser (AM/PM)
- Bioderma oil cleanser (PM - use as a second cleanser - mostly only reach when I wear sunscreen or makeup)
- vanicream facial moisturizer (AM/PM)
- LRP cicaplast (AM)
- Elta MD sunscreen stick 50 SPF (everyday sunscreen)
-LRP cicaplast UV (only reach when I’m going to be outside all day like at the beach or a baseball game)
- I will once a week use the cervae healing ointment as a mask at night and rinse in the AM when I feel dry.

- for lips I enjoy the glymed hydrating lip balm or aquaphor.

This medication has been life changing over the past couple of weeks. I have tried everything! I have very sensitive, combo skin! I’m so happy with low dose!
