What to do about bad acne now that accutane is off the market?

**donberry427** · 03-13-2010, 04:29 PM

My list guy has been out since dec... So i assume he is not getting it anymore. What am I going to do about my bad acne now that I cant get accutane. I Heard something about the antibiotic sodium sulfacetamide, which kills the bacteria that causes acne. Has anyone used this? or knows anything about it? ..where to get it? (besides a doctor)

retin-a works pretty good

the bad thing about retin-a is that it can severely dry your skin

there are plenty of sources fro accutane... just do a little search

I use an antibiotic called Solodyn (minocycline). It has worked wonders for me. I also use it in conjunction with Retin-A Micro gel and Differin cream. The Solodyn has been amazing though. I had bad cystic acne on my lower back and love handle area and I am pretty much cleared up now.

Solodyn is amazing!! make sure your doctors have the card from the company to make the script only 10 bucks apposed to $200-$600

Thanks guys for the replys

I used to get it from The research chem guy on here but he stopped makin it (or i cant find it on his page)

i guess ill shop around for it if i get to that point... Also for the solodyn stuff.. For the money it must be worth it

The cream will dry your face out pretty bad, the gel is not so bad. If you can get your hands on Retin-A gel, and use it wisely it will do wonders for your acne.
