I've got 10 days left of my 6 month course of Accutane, 40mg for the first 4 months and then 75mg for these last two. The problem is that i'm still breaking out neutral.gif I really would have thought i would be clear by now but i do have a few actives and i have these stubborn under the skin spots that have been there throughout treatment...

Do you think its possible that i clear after i stop taking the pills, it's so frustrating. I just need some personal experiences of people who have took it?

Are you moisturizing your skin ?

I know it may take some time for Accutane to actually work but you should not rely completely on Accutane.

Follow these simple tips while doing Accutane Course

1. Don't touch your face too often during the day.

2. Eat healthy nutritious food.

3. Drink plenty of water

4. Cut out stress, meditate , Exercise.

Have faith in what you are doing and be positive.

I had the same issue- but relized it was something i was using! My mouiserizer was too thick (Cerave in the tub) and it was just breaking me out. Now i use Cerave Hydrating cleanser+ Cerave Lotion (in the pump) and my face is great now

This could be something i have to look into, i'm using Cetaphil Lotion at the moment and thats about it.
