bump

Why not a retnoid like differin or retin a to keep pores clear? Epiduo should be ok but be aware that your skin is very sensitive from accutane so start really slowly and work your way up. Since accutane cleared you, you should not have a bad initial breakout.

Good Luck

thanks for the reply, at the moment im just cleansing twice a day, and using epiduo and neutrogena oil free moisturizer at night. so far ive gotten a few small whiteheads on my forehead, but quite a few tiny bumps all over my face. i dont know if i should be worried or not

Epiduo or any other topical or retinoid like topical will purge you. Since you just got off of accutane, it shouldn't be too bad. Give it 3 months of consistent daily use before deciding if it will help keep you clear.

Update: 3 weeks since i finished accutane

started epiduo shortly after finishing which dried my skin considerably, but after continual use of moisturizer that has been fixed.

My pih seems to be getting worse..

few red bumps on forehead and both cheeks which are kindy itchy.

Update: 4 weeks since i finished accutane

I stopped using epiduo as it was irritating my skin, it felt like it was burning it.

I found some 0.1% differin which i had left over from a while ago, started using that again 4 days ago.

here are some pictures of my current PIH, its pretty bad. Does differin aid in fading pih at all?
