Barbie89 0 Posted July 15, 2009 So its been a year since ending my five month course of tane. Since ending my course i would get a pimple of two a month. However, within the last two months i've been breaking out more and more. its nothing like it was but it sucks that its returning even in a milder form. I was on duac in the morn and differin .1 at night since ending my course. My doc wrote me a script for the .3 version so hopefully that will help and i dont experience an initial break out from differin .3. Has amyone else switched from differin .1 to differin .3?

Has amyone else switched from differin .1 to differin .3? hey barbie...its so weird but i totally remember that a year ago we both started accutane at the same time and here we both are back with acne... My best guess is that our acne is purely hormonal and that the only thing that will help is birth control. I actually know this for me because i was diagnosed with pcos which is a hormonal condition that causes acne...by no means do i have horrible acne..just the little pimples that you can tell is hormonal around my chin. but yea my acne started coming back around feb/march and it only gets worse. if i was you I would find a birth control are you thinking about 2nd course of accutane? i really dont think I want to go that route.

Barbie89 0 Posted July 16, 2009 i've been on birth control since starting tane, so i have that taken care of and i'm thinking of starting a micro dose regimen. I heard that taking as little as 5mg a day will keep acne at bay and isnt harmful to the body. My acne is not bad and i suffer from acne dysmorphia anyways, so a pimple is like a huge breakout to me. I've been suffering with that for the past two years. I has acne through elem and high school and it didnt bother me. It wasnt till two years ago that i suddenly began having persistant breakouts. Then something clicked in my head which made be OCD about my skin. I believe my issue is more mental than anything. Yes, everyone hates acne but to me its devastating!

Barbie89 0 Posted July 28, 2009 I've been using differin .3 for a couple weeks and i'm starting to notice a small flare of tiny bumps. Nothing crazy or concerning right now. Hopefully everything will go smoothly, wish me luck! Oh, and i havent started a mico dose of tane yet. I'm still researching the method and want to give differin .3 a try first.

helpneeded101 0 Posted August 14, 2009 I used to be on .1 now on .3 .3 worked ALOT better for me be ready for significantly more dryness. get in the habit of applying Cetaphil lotion(or anything else) right after you get out of the shower to wherever you apply the DIfferin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
