Before accutane, i use to take the mass gainer/protein powder after workouts. I definitely feel that this was contributing to my acne (the painful red under skin ones) so i was wondering if i take it while on accutane, will it still trigger breakouts, or will it be impossible because of the accutane? (adderall also made me breakout so i have completely stopped taking it)

just finished month 3 of 80mg/day and right now im nearly 100% clear, dont wanna mess this up, ya know haha

btw this powder does not contain vitamin a

You should be okay, if you're pretty clear now. I wouldn't be worried about trying it, as accutane reduces oil production. The real test will be post accutane. Good luck anyway.

accutane does great things- but you will still break out if you use something that your skin doesnt agree with. Just can the protein powder- and let the meds do its thing- and after your done maybe start using it.

Yeah its horrible haha, I started taking weight gainers post accutane didn't breakout at first but now I've got acne prone skin again. But I've switched to whey protein and oats post workout, thats doesn't break me out.
