8 Months The Regimen, Still Not Clear

Hey guys,

I have been through two courses of Accutane and have continued to struggle with acne on my face and chest. I started the regimen, (using acne.org products) in the middle of May, 2013. I have seen definite improvement but have struggled with a few issues:

1) My skin is constantly dry and is always red. I use 3 pumps of the moisturizer and only about 2/3 finger of BP but still my face has not adjusted. I'm concerned it never will

2) Flaking. Often I will wake up in the morning and I will have a beard of flakes. I have tried AHA but it really burns and I worry that my face is too sensitive for it.

3) Lizard skin. My upper forehead has always been more oily and now that it is clear, I have wrinkles and scaly skin in this place.

I'd really appreciate any help. As a 22 year old male who has been suffering for 6+ years, I'm starting to think I'll have acne for life. I have been very dedicated to this regimen and have missed maybe 7 or 8 applications in 8 months.

Thanks.

Perhaps try a different moisturizer. Not sure if that would help but if you're doing everything as directed and it's not working then I would try changing up the products themselves. The moisturizer may not be a good fit for you, check out the list of approved moisturizers and try a different one. Good luck.

U have to be gentle. Im not as gentle as I should be. and I get the occasional pimple. If id be totally gentle I prolly wouldn't even break out. I cant stress enough how gentle u have to be.
