Wondering why so many of my patients get great, acne-free results from their skin treatments? It’s simple - we stick to . ✨
Key things to know if you’re on isotretinoin:
👉🏽 Dryness is the most common side effect
👉🏽 Lips: keep a thick petrolatum based balm on you at all times, DON’T lick them
👉🏽 Skin: use a gentle hydrating cleanser and moisturiser
👉🏽 Photosentivity: wear a broad spectrum sunscreen SPF 30+ daily , seek shade where necessary
👉🏽 Eyes: use recommended eye drops or artificial tears for relief
👉🏽 Don’t stop until your skin has been acne free for 2–3 months (duration is dose and weight dependant) — and your Dr has officially discharged you with a maintenance plan.
Yes, isotretinoin gets a lot of attention, but here’s the truth: severe acne isn’t just about spots. It can affect confidence, mental health, and even leave permanent scars. When acne is this impactful, it deserves serious care, trust the process.
