Hey, I've been off accutane for about three months now. I've been through the chapped lips, dry nose, hallucination problems (just kidding) but I have some MAJOR redness left over from acne. My face is covered. Apparently the accutane temporarily (a LONG "temporary") weakens my skin while I'm on it and it takes FOREVER to get those red spots to go away!!

 

Any good tips from people who've been accutane? Actually.... tips from anyone would be appreciated GREATLY. I'm trying to get the marks less noticable before this next school year.

 

Replies are REALLY appreciated,

3 months post treatment is sufficient for SUPERFICIAL peels. (glycolic, lactic)

do them. if you dont know how, look around the scar treatment forum or use search

or, consult your dermatologist

Thanks I appreciate it, I've heard a lot about the glycolic peel, I'll look in to it.

Just use a topical 10% glycolic acid treatment every day or every other day and be sure to use SPF 30 to prevent the red marks from darkening in the sun (if they darken, it delays fading).

 

See the middle link in my signature for glycolic product recommendations. There's also now Dan's AHA which I like quite well myself. It's excellently priced for body treatment.
