Judging by the pictures you don't seem to be a picker. It took me 8 years to realize that picking makes my skin much worse.

Do you have acne only on your cheecks?

Do you have acne only on your cheecks?

Yeah, only on my cheeks. I cant figure why , even tho they get oily, they are the least oily part of my face

Did you try the caveman regimen?

Ive heard about ir but it scares me too much to try it. Plus i always wear sunscreen anf sometimes makeup which needs to be removed

Why do you always wear sunscreen?

The dermatologist told me to do so since i use prescription retinoic acid

Current routine:

Doble cleanser:
1) Vichy micellar oil
2) avene water based cleanser

In the mornings i follow with vit c serum 

Toner: mornings diy honey toner, evenings cosrx summer pore serum (bha)

Moisturizer: aloe Vera gel in the mornings, Neutrogena healthy skin un the evenings

Atte night i also use presctiption retinoic acid (0,1%)

Do you drink enough water every day?

No! Do you think thats the problem?

Hang in there. The isotretinoin probably needs time to kick in again. All the best. Keep posting.

My biggest problem is how oily my skin is. I go to sleep and wake up with so many whiteheads 

Try drinking a lot of water for 1 week and see if you notice the difference.

Also your skin is not even half as oily as mine. It can be worse, trust me.

How long does ir take usually? Icve been on ir for 3 months More or less

It can take 4-5 months. Some people don't clear til course has finished.

Apparently Isotretinoin keeps working up to 8 weeks after stopping.

Sadly patience is needed. Check out cumulative doses. You have already suffered return of acne after stopping over summer so check with derm that you don't stop til you have had the right cumulative dose for your weight.

For clarification: are you using a topical istotretinoin cream? or are you taking isotretinoin orally as a tablet? They work differently.

Topical

Im taking pictures every other day to check if theres any progress. Ive also started taking nutricional yeast eevry day

Update: ive decided to go back yo diary since i didnt notice any difference
im drinking green tea every day and also using it as tiner and exfloliant (the leaf) also un taking brewers yeast everyday and eatibg 1-2 carrots daily

Sorry I wrongly assumed you were on isotretinoin orally ( roaccutane) . I have no idea about the topical version of isotretinoin. Hopefully someone else can advise you re that and timescales. All the best.

Jollyhohnson??

My skin is finally peeling, i dont know what triggered it but its a good thing since it shows the tretinoin is finally workig

I was on a prescription for Epiduo a few years ago - its a mix of Benzoyl Peroxide and Adapalene (a form of topical isotretinoin). Although I found it took a good three months to see results, I found that the Adapalene meant my skin was turning over quicker which meant the redness faded quicker too. Topical isotretinoin (known variously as Retin-A or Adapalene) is often prescribed to improve skin texture, so hopefully you see good results with this.

While using topical isotretinoin you should NOT be using any BHA or AHA product at the same time. You don't want to over irritate your skin! You can use AHA, but if you do give the isotretinoin a miss that day.

One tip - try not to chop and change products and habits all the time. When you change something you need to give it at least four weeks to really know if it's making a difference or making things worse.

Just here to say that there is improvement in your skin, and yeah jolly is right, do not use too many products, a mild cleanser, a good non comedogenic moisturizer and use sunscreen religiously.

SUNSCREEN! Yes, can't believe I forgot to mention sunscreen. You should be wearing sunscreen every day.
