Day 10: 25mg Spironolactone Week 8: Isotrex I wanted to note something I've noticed in the last couple of days. I'm breaking out quite abit on my cheeks, but they are small red pimples rather than c...

Hello acne homies/ fellow comrades lol, It's been a week since I started on Spiro again and I'm still being faithful to Isotrex, so it's time to update once again. UPDATE:   1 Week of Spironol...

Fabian has a point, retin a or any retinoid will take months to work. I was on a low dose accutane course (only 10mg per day) and it took me about 8-9 months before I could say my face is clear. So on...

Spiro worked for me as well, cleared all cysts and marks within 6 months. Additionally it also had me lose 10 pounds which was incredible. Unfortunately, it took me a while to notice that my hair and ...

Just a quick update. I am back on spiro from today, so let get this started b*tches! x

you might need something stronger, go for retin a or isotrex? although all topical retionoids take up to 6 months to work so wait till 24 weeks if you want to stay on differin.

hey guys how are you finding the isotrex if you are still on it? i wanted retin a too but was given isotrex instead. i was told its the most similar thing to retin a as they both work in exactly the s...

hey thanks for replying. I too have recently finished accutane and about 3 months later I had acne returning. fortunately it is light but I know if i leave it it will continue to get worse so I decide...

Hey i see you are on spiro, I have pretty much just started it. Can I ask how long it took you to see improvements and how less oily is your skin x

Hey, I was just reading about accutane on here and what the derm said to you about it being a very negative drug. I would like to share my experience on it and what my derm said to me. Like you, I wa...

hey are you still using isotrex? if so how is it working for u? i am on 6 weeks of using it.

UPDATE:   1 Week of Spironolactone 25mg 6 Weeks of Isotrex Gel Heylo, It's been about a week now so I thought I'd better update. I took the 25mg for the last week and it was fine but I have h...

hey how are you, are u still on retin a? x

Hey, I read someone elses post on here that they used the OCM and ended up with a load of clooged pores and acne. She used retin a and 50mg spiro to get clear. It took her about 7 months to clear but ...

I have started taking 100mg alongside using the differin, and i am finally seeing improvements. I think because our doctors here don't prescribe it much they are very cautious to start with. I have be...

Hey, thanks so much for your message! Sorry it's taken me a few days to reply, my internets been down. You are lucky, my GP looked at me like i was crazy for asking for a blood pressure medication so ...

Hi green gables, I'm not surprised many doctors arn't aware of spiro being used off label for acne. By chance, when I was sent to the dermatologist after years of trying creams and antibiotics from m...

hi, I have loved reading your posts, I wanted to say i was delighted to read that spiro and in particular retin a has worked so well for you, that you could actually stop taking the spiro. in the long...

Hi peeps, I started Spironolactone today on a dose of 25mg per day. It is not a lot but my GP recommended to try a small dose to see if the medication agrees with me, and then work it up to a higher ...

hi, how are you getting on? i am from the uk and just got a prescription from my gp for spiro. luckily he said he was aware of it being used for acne but it's his first time prescribing it to someone ...

wow thats great result! did you just use the retin a or anything else? very few people clear up that much with a topical retinoid in just 5 months, you are very lucky! Dont worry too much about the f...

dont give up have u tried adding zinc pills to ur regimen. i found it helped speed things up when i was starting out with my topical. the clogged pores will go but its probably the retinoid purging ...

Hey dont worry, you will have success, just keep at it and stick with it throughout the purging phase. I would just say keep it away from your corner of your lips because it's definitely not good to u...

Hey, I would say if you are new to tretinoin then keep all the glycolic items on hol for now and just wait to see how your skin responds to it. A lot of people, myslef included have redness, itchiness...

I think u have to decide if you are willing to put up with the breakouts and redness/irritation for a few months if it means you will have clearer skin indefinitely after (provided you still use treti...
