10mg is a low dose! I wouldn't expect you to clear for at least a few months! Everyone's different. Ask your dem.

I got my initial breakout about 4 weeks into my course. And it lasted for about 2 weeks max. Obviously I was on a higher dose and everyones different, but just wanted to share my point of view!

Mine lasted from the end of month one to month 3, but am in my sixth month now and still waiting for the marks to fully fade

I was on 30mg for the first 2 months and 50mg after that. 10mg is quite low...?

 

I think I was told that my acne would most likely get worse for 1-2 months at the beginning of the treatment. I don't think mine got any worse, but it just didn't improve for 4-6 weeks.

 

I've just started my 4th month and my skin is clear, bar 1 breakout... Still lots of scarring there, but major improvement!

 

Keep going!
