I have really oily skin and i started Accutane 30mg 1 week ago. Till now my skin is still oily except my chin and above my mouth area which is peeling but even those area are still oily despite the peeling. I thought Accutane is suppose to dry you up. Is it too soon to judge? Maybe 1 more week?

Too soon. Give it a month especially on 30 mg. But it will for sure dry you out it just takes a while to kick in because it actually has to shrink the oil glands.

From personal experience it was about 3 weeks where it was the worst dryness.
