What was your protocol? I assume you didn't run a full immunity course. I'm on a hefty dose of DHB and the chest and bacne is pretty stupid. Got some 10 and 20 mg tabs on the way. Shit can't get here fast enough.

Accutane?

Running low dosed accutane usually keeps acne away on cycle (5/10 a day or 20 EOD)

first treatment did not work for me or my brother but I do have friends that only 1 treatment was needed as a permanent cure.
I did for my entire course

I had some wild bacne, took 40mg eod.
Cleared up everything active in 6 months pretty much, and just had scarring remaining, which I still have a year later.

And now I very rarely get anything, but if I do, I just take 10mg of accutane prophylactically

Should I plan on this for each cycle or does this protocol have lasting benefits?
Luckily I don't have the cystic scarring type of bacne, just small whiteheads on shoulders and chest but they ugly af and they bleed/scab.
My package touched down in the US today, few more days of this shit...

I had some pretty nasty scarring from cystic acne, glutathione has made a huge difference in clearing up the hyperpigmentation and now after a year you can barely see it. Also do the same with 10mg of accutane any time I get a flare up and it always works great.

Looks like recent research has found that 220mg/kg total dosage is the best chance to prevent relapse. I've ran accutane 3 or 4 times and at least 2 of those times I hit 120mg/kg, the original recommendation, and unfortunately I still get acne.
Running 20-40mg/day during cycles is probably safer though - accutane has some potential to cause long-term side effects like Crohn's Disease.
Most people experience an spike in acne the first few weeks (referred to as "the purge") then begin gradually clearing up after that.

You may not have seen the latest on this, but Accutane, which is anti inflammatory, seems to result in a LOWER risk of irritable bowel / Crohns than those who don’t take it.
However, heavy antibiotic use does have a strong connection to irritable bowel disease and crohns. Who gets treated with antibiotics by the handful over long periods? The unfortunate people with bad cycatic acne.

I have started accutane for the first time at 5 mg/day (Accufine brand from India) and it has been about 10 days now.
Even at this super low dose I can definitely tell that my face is noticeably drier and brighter which I like, my lips are fine though.

Shout out to everyone who contributed to this thread, and especially @Ghoul for starting it and giving helpful input all along the way. I just spent the last few days working through the all 39 pages.
Some background, I have a history of some mild rosacea which was exacerbated when I did my first cycle of 500mg test about 2.5 years ago. No biggie, it settled when I went down to cruise. Fast forward to my last cycle — Test, Mast, NPP. Holy fucking shit, I don’t know what did it, but man did my face start breaking out at the tail end of summer, about 12 weeks in — I actually dropped both compounds and lower test. I started to get these deep cystic acne spots (2 of which became abscesses and required oral clindamycin and doxycycline to be tamed). Everything sort of began healing but I have so many deep little cysts that still get a bit inflamed in my problem spots (sideburn area right next to my eyes). Constant redness. Both of the abscesses became much smaller cysts, but still sit a bit raised above the surface and not inflamed anymore, but unsightly nonetheless).
I have 120x20mg Pharma gel caps coming from a UGL source that I will start while I wait for a big haul from Indian Pharma. Hoping everything can get cleared up!

Doubling up on this question being answered as I just got some GLOW to give a try.
For the dosing, I’m going to take the low dose approach with no real intention of trying to reach the cumulative dose. There appears to be a decent bit of literature supporting the use of a lower dose like .1mg-.3mg per kg/bw. If that doesn’t begin doing the trick I will eventually titrate upwards. I’m about 250lbs at the moment so I just began with 40mg today along with one of my high fat meals. Might up it, might lower it, kind of just waiting to see what happens and totally ok with having to adjust plans.
Anybody seen any great successes with this approach and their facial acne clearing up?

Just started 10mg EOD this week so no experience to report yet but I'm taking the same approach as you. Gonna bump to 20 mg EOD next week and ride that out for a few months. Just wanted to chime in and say I have a fucking pimple on my areola today. I didn't even know that was possible. I really hope this shit works lol.

I’ve actually got a skin tag there before which was quite interesting haha
After only a few days of 40mg it’s bizarre, but some of my problem spots on my face are becoming less inflamed and shrinking significantly in size. Pores are certainly looking much smaller in my t-zone as well. My skin is already looking better overall.
