Hi im 27 and had a clear skin for 2 years after accutane. Now, i am having a terrible breakout on my forehead and temples. They're not the cystic type but it bothers me because theyre getting worse. I have a lot of bumps here and there. When I wash my face I feel a lot of whiteheads with hardened oil inside and it makes my skin rough.

 

Just wanna ask if anyone here tried the acne.org products with this kind of acne? Please help.

unfortunately accutane does not gurantee that acne wont come back again. Have you tried to take a more holistic approach to your acne? A lot of people have cured their acne with it

yeah thats true..:/ Thats why i dont wanna use accutane anymore. i havent try the holistic approach but for now im using a mild cleanser plus the clean and clear dual moisturizer with salicylic acid on it. i already refrain from touching my face which i usually do and im trying to decrease my caloric intake. i hope all these bumps will be gone.. :/ really frustrates me

A good facial could help or maybe some salicylic acid. That's exactly how my acne came back after tane. Hasn't gone away since.

So how do you manage your acne now? I started using st. Ives wash with 2% salicylic acid on it (once a day) plus clean and clear moisturizer with .5% salicylic acid.. hope this would work. Im giving it a month to make some changes...

I'm not managing it well since I'm broken out worse than I've been in a while. I'm waiting for my August 4th derm appt to see what to do next and I am getting my 2nd acne facial on Tuesday

Just my two cents-- I've had a similar acne twice after going off Accutane. A few months ago I had the beginnings of a nasty breakout and tried Skinceuticals "Blemish and age Defense" serum and their LHA cleansing gel. Sometimes I alternate the skinceuticals' serum with 15% Mandelic Acid serum by Vivant. Not the cheapest stuff, but I was able to shop around on the internet and get them at a discount. For some reason, I think my acne post-Accutane became really hard and steadfast, and the acids in these products tend to keep my skin clear and I've been using them for several months-- I definitely had the hairline acne in the first picture. I still get occasional breakouts, but the serum is like battery acid and seems to clear it all out. The serum seems to last, since you literally only need a drop.
