Has anyone ever done this? any help would be appreciated as I was curious what would happen to my skin and how bad I would break out.
Info about me: I've been using the Acne.org Regimen for about 2 years now... I had cystic acne on my cheeks, whiteheads in the area above my lips and some whiteheads on my chin. I also have a really oily T zone and my nose gets oily really easily and I have a lot of blackheads. Im about 95% clear using the regimen while I still have blackheads and a really oily nose. I was wondering if I go on accutane and stop using BP cold turkey would I have a huge break out? I havent had cystic acne on my cheeks ever since i've been clear.

Can A mod please delete my other threads? It kept giving me errors on submitting and thread and I accidentally made 2 other threads. Sorry.

I did this and man oh man. The first few weeks were ok, but over the next several months my acne went from gone to moderate. Since you are going on accutane though, i wouldn't stress it. It's going to push everything out anyway which will eventually lead to clear skin.

Thank you for your reply! As in moderate how bad was it? Did you have huge break outs over your course? Also did you keep using a cleanser and moisturizer and just took out Benzoyl peroxide from your routine?
