Will pores and oily skin return when I stop taking Accutane?

misfit30
Hello, I’m a 40 y/o Latina with normally extremely oily, break-out prone skin for 20+years. I’ve been on Accutane for 5 months now it’s dramatically improved my skin. My pores are diminished and my oiliness is extremely well-controlled. If my skin stayed just like this overall, I’d be very happy. However, I’ve heard people say, the pores and oiliness will absolutely return once I go complete off the med. Is this true? The thought of that is so depressing.
