Posted under Accutane q&a

Can low-dose Accutane be used to refine skin texture in patients who don't have acne?

littlemisscurious
I heard that low-dose Accutane may be useful for patients who don't have acne, but who do want to refine their skin. I don't have acne, nor do I have extremely large pores, but my skin is beginning to age and I would love to reduce the size of my pores (is that what Accutane does?) and prevent redness and sagging. Would this be a useful option to explore? Thank you!!
