Hey,
I have been using differin or isotrexin for nearly a year now. Although it had not completely cleared my acne it was under control. I stupidly had a 3 week break from using my isotrexin gel as I was going on holiday and I didn't was to damage my skin in the sun plus my skin seemed to be doing fine. I returned from my holiday 2 weeks ago and my skin looked great but I wanted to get back to using isotrexin so I started back with it 2 weeks ago. I am now experiencing horrendous breakouts.... It's like my IB was, maybe even worse!!!! I have developed so many closed comedones along my jawline which are now becoming inflamed. Has this happened to anyone else? Is this normal? I feel like I have completely undone all the hard work put in over the past year. Ive gone from feeling on top of the world to extremely down to the point I don't even want to go into work x
Isotreix isn't quite a good topical in treating acne,it's quite irritating and over-drying(and most likely you you get rid of your acne either).
If your going to go for topical treatments go for BP or Differin/Retin-A.
If you want to go the oral way , take Doxy along with BP or Differin/Retin-A.
As a last resort use accutane ,but with accutane always expect an IB.

...because you were using isotrex. If you stop using an acne treatment, your acne will come back. We all get cocky though. Lesson learned, eh? Just keep using it as you were before and your skin should get back to how it was before. You might experience a few breakouts, but persevere 🙂
