[SoftAcne]

Hello

I'm 22. I have acne problems for 5 years. I have used (I think) almost all acne drugs:

Skinoren, Akneroxid, Benzacne, Brevoxyl, Metronidazol, Rozex, Clindacne, Zindaclin, Dalacin, Duac, Fucidin, Mupirox
Betadine, Zineryt, Zinnat, Unidox (one week), Vitaminium PP, Tinidazolum, Dalacin, Epiduo [adaptalenum] (one year)
Now my skin looks good overall, but still from time to time a few big pimples are showing on my face for a week. A doctor proposed me the therapy with low dosed isotretinoin. He assured me that it will have 100% efficiency with no side effects.

Do you think it's good move for me for now? Maybe i should try another antibiotic or just waint?

hi. i am a big believer of natural remedys opposed to drugs, so i would personally leave it or wait it out.
I have moderate acne myself and i am not taking any drugs because the docs cannot guarantee 100% that they will work.
Everybody is different and you may have a reaction to the drug, u just dont know for sure whats going to happen while your taking it.
I am just trying to eat right, drink h2o, and get all my vitamins and minerals, and wash my face twice daily with the "simple" moisturising wash and scrub 3 times a week.
Im trying to use the "less is more" cleansing routine.
Anyway thats my opinion anyway, good luck

Thanks for reply. You're pretty right on guarantee and that "everybody is different".
I'm sure that without all those drugs listed above my face would look horrible now (like it was 5 years ago).

I drink ~2,5 dm3 h2o/24h and eat fresh vegatables/fruits straight from my garden. Grapes for now (full of zinc)

man I went through loads of natural remedies, zinc, fish oil, dietary changes, benzoyl peroxide, antibiotics and other stuff, and it was all just waste of time. Accutane, however, actually works. Don't be discouraged to go for it. It feels really great to have a normal clean face after all these years.
