Hi,

I have been taking accutane for 8 months and decide to stop after hearing the side effects. But since then, my pimples starts breaking out. Even though its not as worst as it use to be, but it still irritates me when i saw a 'bunch' of zits on my cheeks.

Then i hear my docter's advise of taking it 3 times a week, which i just did last week. Indeed, my face change for the better, but i do not want to depend on accutane forever.

Now i am using Neaclear Cleanser, Neutrogena Acne on the Spot treatment, lavender oil, egg white mask and clinique Moisturizer.

Anyone has the same problem as me?

Happened to me too. Accutane did not cure me and I dont even have terrible acne. I'd say mine is moderate.

Yeah, mine came back as well after a year and a half. But the back acne completely stopped which is awesome.

yes, i had very bad cysts on my back and the accutane did remedy this, but a month or two after the accutane i was breaking out moderately on my face again. i think it is really all about your diet and i think the main culprit is sugar.
