Accutane and skin surfacing: the hardmax guide to clear skin

[DoctorPSL]

If you're still dealing with cystic acne or scarring that keeps you in the sub-LTN range, softmaxing with basic cleansers is likely a waste of time. Your SMV is plummeting every day you let active inflammation scar your dermis.

1. Isotretinoin: The gold standard for refractory acne. Don't touch it without baseline blood work (liver panels/lipids). Target a cumulative dose of 120-150mg/kg for long-term remission. Expect initial breakouts; keep a high-quality moisturizer on hand to prevent epidermal cracking.

1. Microneedling: Once the active acne is cleared, deal with the atrophy. You need clinical depth—at least 1.5mm to 2.0mm to induce true collagen remodeling. Do not trust home dermarollers; they cause tearing.

1. CO2 Laser: For deep icepick or boxcar scars, nothing else compares. It’s ablative, meaning significant downtime (7-14 days), but it’s the only way to resurface the damage once the subcutaneous tissue is compromised.

This isn't medical advice. Talk to a board-certified derm before messing with systemic retinoids. Stop relying on social media "skincare routines" and use real science to clear your face.

bro im literally on month 2 and my face is still a crater zone. is it over for me or does the accutane purge actually end?? ngl i feel so cooked.

accutane is base-level requirement for anyone trying to ascend. if you have active cysts u have zero SMV regardless of your bone structure. stop wasting time with topical cope and see a derm to get on a course immediately.

if ur still obsessing over skin texture while having a recessed chin it’s already over for u. fix the frame first, then worry abt the pores. JFL.

imagine thinking skincare replaces a sub-par ramus. prioritize hardmaxxing, stop the skincare cope.
