Current face situation
WORTH IT$588
Have my dermo appt in two days. Here are some photos of my current skin situation. The photos don’t really pick it up, but I have a lot of these little skin coloured bumps and blackheads.

And we are back in the game
Helllllooooo Adult acne! At the age of 32, it can’t really be considered anything else can it? I have still been using the topical tretinoin, but it only gets me to a certain point and then my skin won’t improve anymore. Something that did seem to make a difference to my skin was the keto diet. I did a 28 day keto challenge in June, and my skin actually improved significantly. But now I am back to usual diet, acne is ramping back up again. I have booked in to see a dermatologist on the 10th of August. I am planning on discussing a second round of roaccutane with her. Will keep you updated and post pics shortly.

Topical tretinoin 0.025%
So last Wednesday (8days ago) I was prescribed some topical tretinoin by a doctor. I’m assuming it’s a topical version of isotretinoin? Anyway, skin is looking bloody awful, pimples are cystic and it hurts to smile. But oh well, hopefully it’s just bringing all the pimples to the surface to get rid of them. We shall see.

I’m sorry to hear that your acne is back and looking angry. Fingers crossed the topical retinoid works! Keep us updated!

Hey how is your tret journey going? I was also on accutane before and acne came back after 3 years. I’m on Differin .3 right now but it hasn’t been helping.

Hey mate, skin isn’t looking too bad. I don’t have any red flare ups, but still have the skin coloured bumps that are whiteheads. I am going to give skin needling with PRP a try this week. I was on epiduo before I swapped to the topical tretinoin. Epiduo is a combo of benzoyl peroxide and adapalene (differin). How long have you been using the differin for? Where in the world are you? Maybe you could go to my skin clinic for some tretinoin.

Hi there,
My acne also came back three years after finishing accutane. I tried aczone, differin and antibiotics but nothing worked so I’m back on the accutane (Epuris) for the second time. I really hope that the needling treatment works for you!!! Good luck!

Oh I hope it works for you mate. I’m about to try some skin needling, so we shall see how that’s goes. Best of luck to you!!
