depends how bad your acne, you can do it but you will have the acne come back after cyclesAnyone run a cycle of Accutane just to get rid of acne for good so you don’t have to worry about it in future cycles?
What’s a low dose and for how long? 3 months?@Madmax46 really good volume on training and meals very clean stay on this path bro

try it now but low dose see if it helps if your acne is bad
I would talk to a good dermatologist because you don't want acne issues flaring up every timeAnyone run a cycle of Accutane just to get rid of acne for good so you don’t have to worry about it in future cycles?
i would start 4 weeks but wait to do it maybe acne will diet down @Madmax46What’s a low dose and for how long? 3 months?
Live in a small town and not one in my area. Would have to drive an hour away and schedule like 3-4 months in advance.I would talk to a good dermatologist because you don't want acne issues flaring up every time
I had bad skin genetics (still do) and had cystic acne as a teenager. I did 2 cycles of Accutane in my 20's (one cycle wasn't enough). It's brutal on your liver and body. To this day (30 years later) I have chronically dry nasal cavities and will get about 1 nose bleed per year. This started when I was doing Accutane (dry nasal cavities) and it's never gone away.Anyone run a cycle of Accutane just to get rid of acne for good so you don’t have to worry about it in future cycles?
How high of a dose did you do? Did your acne go away permanently?
