Hi all.

I've had pretty bad acne for about 3 years now. I've tried everything including accutane which I had to finish early because of bad side effects. At the moment I'm using treclin gel which is clindamycin and tretinoin. I've heard really great things about it but that there is a really bad initial breakout. I'm on the month mark and my skin is terrrrribble! Should I continue using it? Is this all part of the process? Thanks in advance!

    Hey,

    I'm in my 4th month of Accutane and at first I was going to give up because of the initial breakout but my parents told me to stick at it a bit longer and now two mo this on, it's like I've had new skin!!

    Definitely stick it out until the end of you'll always think "what if"

    Good luck! It'll be worth it!!

      Thanks Amber! Yes I'm definitely going to stick with it I think. I'm so happy to hear it's worked for you, having acne can be so depressing. 

      Thanks again! smile
