Hi,

I'm just finishing a course of accutane (6 months, mild but very persistent acne, variable dose peaking at 100mg) and my dermatologist has given me differin as a maintenance treatment to try keep things at bay. She said to use it on any spots/signs of spots and on my scars for 6 months, but reading the stuff on here makes me a bit dubious that it's going to help my scars at all and i wonder if it will just bring more side effects. She said i didnt need to go back unless things went wrong

Anyone got any stories about using differin? Does it irritate the skin? Given that I've just had 6 months of accutane at crazy doses (I weigh 60kg...) I reeeeeally don't want random breakouts and flaky skin etc if i can avoid it

Any info would be amazing
thanks so much
