Accutane.....

ad

Been on a new batch for about 2 weeks now can't really tell if shits working or not and its getting pretty agitating. I'm still getting white head break outs so not looking too hopeful. Came from a source that has very good reviews on everything else...

I'm currently on accutane prescribed from my derm.
I've had acne since I was about 16.

Running 60mg/day i only started seeing results around month 5.

I'm sorry, but are you seriously running accutane while you are on steroids? Accutane is EXTREMELY hard on the liver, and even in a healthy individual taking no other medications, prolonged use over 6 months is not recommended. And even then, people on accutane are required to get a monthly blood test done by the doctor--that's how toxic it is to the liver!!!

I seriously just hope you are not running 17AA oral compounds with it. I would never ever dream of running Accutane while on cycle.

Just live with the acne and get relief in knowing that it will only be temporary while you are on cycle, or switch to topical isotretinoin instead. That's what I use, and it's basically a cream version of accutane. I tried many, many different products to treat hormonal acne, and as far as topical ointments go, tretinoin was the only one that worked for hormone-induced acne. Everything else that I tried was too irritating and dried my skin out way too much. Even the isotretinoin cream, the 0.1% strength was too strong for me and I had to lower it to 0.025%. Moisturize wherever you apply it, because it will dry out your skin.

edit: I also forgot to add that topical tretinoin will help lighten and prevent any acne scarring that you might get.
