Hi guys, it's been a month off accutane, there are some pics :
Do you guys think i should take retin a to keep my skin away from new acnes? I've heard that retin a can fade scar and redness too, but im afraid of another purging. I went through 30mg accutane a day so do you think 0.025 retin a will cause me to break out again?

Any side effects since stopping accutane?
1 month and 1 week post accutane, good lightning so it doesn't look too too bad
I haven't had any side effect since i stopped accutane but i sometimes get 1 or 2 acnes and that's not too bad. The only thing that bothers me real hard is the skin surface especially on my left cheek 
It seems like its getting better! Good luck
I really recommend emu oil!!! If you haven't tried it, it reduces redness like a champ!
How long have you been off Accutane/Isotretinoin? You must NOT do anything like dermarolling until 6 months after you stop because your skin's ability to repair itself is reduced. Also, if you're planning on dermarolling at home make sure you check out the scar threads - it is possible to make it worse if you don't know what you're doing.
Fantastic progress by the way. I know you probably look in the mirror and feel awful about your skin. I'm two months off accutane and that's exactly how I feel too. But then I compare my skin now to what it was like before and I realise it has come a long way.
For now, make sure you're moisturising well and being gentle with your skin. And make sure to wear sunscreen! The sun can worsen red marks and make them last longer.
thanks for the advice, i had been on accutane for 6 months last year then i took 1 month off then i have started using retin a 0.05% for 1 year now. I did some research and they say that it's okay to use dermaroller while on retin a as long as i do it gently andstart lightly on a section of my face to see how my skin will react. Retin a does help but it's extremely slow and makes my skin looks like shit after i take shower. Last week, i got extremely depressed after looking in the mirror, i started pushing my nail toward the biggest scar on my face continuously until it became red and it felt like there were somethine like water on that area i pushed my nail towards(i happened to cut my nail before i felt depressed so it was pretty sharp). the next few days that skin area got really dry and red that i can peel it off. After that i could see that scar got a little better, it seemed like i made the skin renewed itself somehow then i started digging about it on the internet and i found that what i happened to do works pretty much the same as dermarolling. All my money on dermarolling now
Yes, now when i think about it, i was so careless, but by the way after 2 times dermaroll, my scars have significantly improved, it's like 5 months of using retin a in 1 month, if you're enduring the same problem as i am, i strongly recommend dermarolling as long as you put enough time in diggings and reading people experiences about it
Just woke up in the morning and my skin is fully moisturized, plus it's just been 2 weeks since the last time i dermarolled so this may not be how good it actually looks, but it's definitely getting better very slowly over time, though i'm not really sastified with this yet, i'll leave the link to my personal facebook profile down here so if you have any questions, feel free to DM me
