Healed me up very fast. My skin was dry but overall I liked the effects of Accutane. I still have pigmentation problems though. Side effects I had were dry lips, a little bit of loss of hair, and trouble sleeping on some nights. I also felt very tired and overslept a lot while on accutane.

I just got off of a 4 month accutane treatment. Is it okay for me to immediately start using RetinA, vitamin C, AHA? I know with more deeper chemical peels you need to wait 6 months, I wanted to know if that was the case for prescription products and things that are less invasive than chemical peels.

Great review?

My Doctor: name not provided

Was helpful and very eager to give me the medication
