yeah take 10mg eod and use spf, idk much about epiduo but it’s better not to mix them

don’t go over 10mg a day if you don’t already have bad acne as you’ll likely purge and be left with PIE or PIH

nah if he has mild- barely any acne now it’s not a good idea as he’ll likely purge

that’s what i did and i ended up purging pretty bad and i still have a small amount of red marks but it took 5 months to get to 90% clear so im just tryna warn this guy

he can do what he wants though but it would be silly to make the same mistake as me

Who cares just suck it up. 10-20mg isotretinoin is harmless

Epiduo is 0.1% Adapalene & 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide, do not under any circumstance mix these together, you will ruin your skin.

Choose either or.

could you show examples of the mild acne you had? plus the purging that occurred if u had any pics of that, i might start isotret soon too so im trying to be careful and avoid purging just in case.
