Retin A or if it really bothers you low dose accutane will clear that right up.

Hey Rosie, hows Retin A working out for you now?

Yeah it really does the trick alright, its just a pity that when you stop - the oil comes back. After coming off accutane Ive kind of controlled the blackheads with retin A - theyre not as bad as be...

Thanks for the info John, am gonna go back on it myself at some stage in the new year. I was on 60mgs a week for about 5 months during the year. Worked great - had a good few side affects though. If...

Any update on this?? How did you get on? Did you move down to 20mgs a week? Would be very interested to know, am thinking of doing something similar )

Quick follow up - been off accutane for 2 months now - oil returned, just like before. Have been using retin A cream since I came off accutane - it works to a certain degree - blackheads and pores are...

At the moment youre using just 10mgs a week??

It sounds like youve got very mild acne, if you have clear skin at times, accutane isnt the answer for you, i would look into different methods.

Hey there, I suffer from bad blackheads, as in my nose is completely covered and my face on either side of my nose has plenty too, and more seem to be coming all the time, and as many people on here ...

Seems fairly standard to be honest, its not too high a dose

This is worrying, was contemplating going on low dose accutane for my blackheads, but it sounds like it might give me more that I already have. What to do!!!

You getting any side affects on low dose accutane?? Also what foods should I avoid?? Thanks dude

Hey man, do you have blackheads too? if so how do they react to the low dose accutane?

Hey Vincevega, how did you get on with this?? Did you give accutane a go for the blackheads? Im literally in the same boat now, pondering on whether I should or not.
