I’ve just been off accutane after 9 months and my skin looked good but there were still breakouts. So my dermatologist put me on trifarotene, form of tretinoin and BOY I CAN’T SEE THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL! Like my skin is definitely purging and even if I want to turn back now, I DONT KNOW HOW! Like seriously, am struggling! Any tips or help would be so appreciated!!

help me!! the purge is taking over :(

Hi all! So when COVID first started last year, I went on accutane after trying everything! I had been on 5mg per day and it truly worked for me, my skin looked amazing!! And then I slowly eased off it knowing that you’re only supposed to be on it for a certain time etc. And side note, I loved being on accutane which may be odd because you’d see people on YouTube talking about the extreme side effects and how they didn’t have a good experience with it! But I think it’s usually because they had been on high doses and for my opinion, even being on a dose of 5mg daily was super effective for me! (I had been on from July 2020- May/June 2021). 

However now, I’m noticing I’m starting to get breakouts again and although they aren’t as bad as when I first started on accutane, it definitely makes me miss accutane! So, for those of you who have gone on it, how did you maintain your clear skin after or have you had to go on it again and did that finally clear it all up for you? I’d love to hear!! 

And those who are currently on it, I had just used a simple cleanser and moisturiser whilst on accutane and have started incorporating more products in my routine now that I’m trying to maintain the same skin!

This is good however, it wont get rid of a pimple like the blemish cream it claims. It significantly calms but it doesn’t fix the breakout especially for deep acne.

This is a good cream for both my rosecea and sensitive skin so when I have inflammation, I like applying this onto my skin!

It helped but if used too often and not informed about this product, it can really dry out your skin and make it worse than better! If you need help i did a review about this on my ig!

I LOVE THIS, helped unclogged pores and even skin tone and texture.

It doesnt have as much product as I thought it was and I have to use sparingly and not like a normal serum. One drop can cover the entire face.

Really am in love with this nourishing product! It makes my skin feel so hydrated and I love using thsi day and night!

I loved it but would opt for something else only because it seems to leave a bit of a residue balmy feeling when I prefer to have my skin feel as if everything comes off!

This is such a good cleansing balm, takes over all my makeup and love how it gives me the balm and emulsifies into a milk!

Nothing bad I am in love with this product

SO SO GOOD! Is so easy to layer with and feels so refreshing and calming! Incorporate this both morning and night! Best product in my routine honestly!
