Packerfan785 2 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I asked before and got mixed results.Retin-A has worked very well for me. I only get slight and non-persistent breakouts on my face now. However my back and chest still get persistent acne.Could I be put on a low dose accutane regimen while still using retin-a? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaiji88 0 Share Posted January 25, 2010 from what I know when you are on accutane theres no need to take retin a as they both are basically the same, with retin-a just being the weaker version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Retin-A has me clear right now and I'm sure if I went off it now and on to Accutane I would have the breakout effect of getting off A and the breakout effect of starting Accutane. I don't want that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
