Will it impact my progress if I cannot access Accutane for 2 weeks?

Missing Accutane (isotretinoin) for two weeks may have a slight impact on your treatment progress, but the extent depends on factors such as your treatment stage and skin condition. Accutane reduces oil production and promotes skin cell turnover, so a break can temporarily increase oiliness and breakouts.

However, two weeks is relatively short in the context of a typical Accutane course, which lasts several months, and is unlikely to significantly derail your progress.

Informing your dermatologist about the interruption is crucial, as they can adjust your treatment plan or provide guidance on managing your skin during the break. Maintaining a good skincare routine with gentle cleansers, moisturizers, and sun protection will support your skin during this period.

For specific advice tailored to your situation, consulting your dermatologist is recommended.
