year post tane

So its been a year since ending my five month course of tane. Since ending my course i would get a pimple of two a month. However, within the last two months i've been breaking out more and more. its nothing like it was but it sucks that its returning even in a milder form. I was on duac in the morn and differin .1 at night since ending my course. My doc wrote me a script for the .3 version so hopefully that will help and i dont experience an initial break out from differin .3. Has amyone else switched from differin .1 to differin .3?

My story- 6 months post tane

I went through a 5 month course of accutane which ended july 2008. I never cleared 100% but it was only a few pimples a month towards the end. Now i would say i get an average of 2 pimples a month. I started a applying Duac in the morning and differin at night and that has help completely fade all red marks, dentations, and uneven skin tone left my acne. I love my skin now and hope that these results last forever. I will keep posting every few months to update everyone on my skin. Dont give up hope! It will get WORSE before it gets better! its normal so dont stress, i did throught the first 3 months of my course and i was miserable!!

lots of love.

POST ACCUTANE/Differin for maintance!

Hello. I ended my five month course July 9th i believe and began using Differin .1% for maintance. However, i have noticed a huge increase in whiteheads and clog pores. This is happening everywhere i would never break out too. So i'm wandering if i'm purging from the Differin because i've only been using it for about 5 or 6 weeks. I cant find anyone to answer this question. I want to know if this is normal and give it the full 8-12 weeks or should i go back to see my derm? I'm very concerned!

Differin And DUAC after accutane

Hello everyone. The day i took my last pill i began using duac in the morning and differin at night. I have noticed fleshy bumps pop up on the side of my face and forhead where i would normally not break out. The majority of them are not red..they are more of whiteheads than anything. However, i am wandering if this is normal even though i just got off my course?

thanks everyone

ALL DONE!!

Well its been a tough road for me while being on tane. It did give me clear skin!!! However, the side effects and the lower immune system did not work for me. I was sick a lot and very depressed towards the end and have been fighting a staph infection since my second month on tane!! I'm very scared to get off of this medicine because like everyone else i do not want my acne to return. I'm starting duac in the morning and differin at night and pray that it wont come back! Anyone have advise for being post tane? Good Luck to those who are starting..it will clear you..just be prepared for the ride!!
