I’m going into my second month of accutane and all my acne is basically gone but my whole face is discolored. i know ambi fade cream worked on my acne scars before but i’m afraid to use it now because it mite be too harsh for my skin rite now. would palmers cocoa butter work? is there anything i could use rite now?

so i’m about to start my 5th month and i don’t see many changes at ALL!!!
accutane will work right??? i still get big zits, my clogged pores haven’t gone and i keep getting zits on my face, chest and back and none of my scars have gone, i have all these reddish/pink pigmentations all over. only good thing thats happened is i’m not so oily…
for those who’ve used accutane, when did you see results? will scars go? will the pigmentation go as well? i’m desperate to get clearer skin, its embarrasing and people even make fun of me for it.

Alright guys! I’ve had it with my blemishes and acne. Sometimes it’s okay, and sometimes it’s just bad. Especially after shaving. The worst places are on my neck and my forehead and upper-back/shoulders and chest usually. My forehead looks like it’s almost scarring and is always drier than any other part of my body, along with my shoulders and upper-back. I wonder how so many young adults my age have a perfectly acne-free, non-drying, scar-free face. It bothers me quite a bit. haha. Anyways, I have a pretty great diet, I drink a lot of water, I take a shower usually every morning, I exercise at least 2 days a week. What’s going on here?? I mean, of course it’s got a lot to do with genetics and what not, but my life style is pretty healthy. I use acne medications, but I usually test one for about a month or two, and then do nothing and nothing at all has changed, and I sometimes try another after awhile, and still nothing changes. Those chemicals don’t work on my skin, so those kinds of treatments are out of the question…. So… what about accutane? my friend was on it, and he is one of the happiest guys, but he was really depressed, but after he was done, he had pretty much no acne. I’m naturally mildly depressed, nothing being active and being around people can’t solve. It might worsen that depression and could have long term side affects… I’ve heard that it comes back wayyy worse after you stop using it, and harms your body, etc, etc. ANYWAYS, after all of that, what would you reccomend? Should I go on accutane? should I try some other type of medication? I’m 19 now, and it’s just pathetic that it’s never really cleared up. Anyone have a little insight on this? Thanks =)
Tried proactive for maybe two years. nada.

Before acne scars form?

what is it?? what are pros and cons???

would it help my acne scar disappear??

I have been suffering from acne for a long time. Not just little whiteheads that go away. I consistently get cystic (under the skin pustules that get swollen and red) acne and they have left really bad scars and I am really self conscious about it. I eat pretty healthy and I exercise and I am wondering about Isotretinoin (Accutane). If you think its worth it? Experiences?

and theyre arent really pimples anymore, theyre more just scars now, will that clear up too?
i have one scar on my nose from a pimple, can that clear up as well?
thanks!

I am on Accutane for my acne, and as no treatments such as chemical peels or dermabrasion are possible at the moment, is it safe to take L-Glutathione pills with Vitamin C for the reduction of my acne scarring and overall whitening? Will their be any side effects or ”mixing” with the Accutane?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I just went to the dermatologist for the first time and i got some pills and other stuff to try and if that doesnt work she is going to put me on accutane straight away so im excited of course. I have unfortunately some scars from acne on my chest and back. Not like the pocket ones just like marks. Will accutane help the scars as well? And if not what are my other options for getting rid of the scars? Thanks guys

Mild, moderate, severe?

Did Accutane help you with:
-BLACKHEADS
-REDNESS
-ACNE MARKS (blemishes, scars)
-SKIN TONE
