Like nigga why not just use topical tret 0.05 or 0.1% instead of taking an oral version of it terrible for your liver and even causes hair thinning in many people. I understand if you genuinely have SEVERE acne but otherwise yall js wanna jerk off to the fact that youre using some "special" pharmaceutical drug to fix your acne so you feel superior, instead of just using topical tret.

I see many filipino 13 yo tiktokcels nowadays going like MUH I NEED ACCUTANE, meanwhile they have mild acne. JUST USE TRET NIGGA IF YOU DONT HAVE SEVERE ACNE

Tretinoin isn't even that useful for acne + the Liver side effects are so rare at taking low doses of it

stupid ass thread, there is no reason to not take accutane for acne even if it's mild, the sooner you get rid of it the better, no need to risk it getting worse, plus the side effects are super rare at low doses (10-20mg), accutane fear mongering tik tok retards are the real issue here

You call them a tiktokcel although you just made a statement that a tiktokcel would make

For mild to moderate acne I would rather use accutane (isotretinoin) than Tretinoin because you can get results faster. It works from the body to reduce oil and treat acne more strongly Tretinoin is a cream that works slower and usually takes longer to see results so just use accutane bro

I started it even though my acne was pretty mild from test because i want to never have to worry about it again also tret made me purge so much and i wanna be able to eat what i want and act normal instead of only eating beef in fear of getting bad skin

Because accutane works systematic, gives better and faster results which also last after stopping (smaller sebaceous glands).
terrible for your liver
It is not even that bad if you take normal dosages, never had previous liver issues or consume lots of substances that are hepatotoxic on their own. Everybody I know and myself included never had any abnormal blood test results while on isotret.
even causes hair thinning in many people
Which is temporary and goes away after stopping accutane.

Overall useless and uninformed thread, also age does not matter when taking accutane
