Hey all, just finished an 8 month course of accutane, im 120lb 16yo and was doing 20mg/day.
just had my last pill today, and i have noo pimples 
i just have some PIH on both cheeks.
Looking for some help with a few things;
-how long does PIH take to fade? im using a cleanser and bio oil twice a day.
- the real question.!! WHAT SHOULD I DO TO AVOID ANY MORE ACNE. that was the worst period of my life, like maintenance and a routine or something.
- my derm gave me a script for Epiduo gel, not sure if i should use that or not
Any help appreciated!!
I'm in the same position as you, I'm sorry I can't help, I'm just as confused.
Some people say that it's necessary to use a maintenance routine after accutane, others say that could make your skin worse. All I know is don't rush into anything, your skin will still be very sensitive for a few weeks after accutane. Let me know how you get on
I feel the best way possible is just use a gentle cleanser and go easssy on your skin. The epiduo is just to be used on any little spots that come up ( they will be just very tiny if they do pop up) - the PIH will fade in less than a couple months- if you wear SPF everyday in those spots.
