I've been on accutane for 6 months and it gave me clear skin. Now that I'm done with the treatment I'm getting pimples again.
How do I cope? What should I do?
Before I tried accutane I tried many other natural treating methodes and the results were meh. They just lowered my moderate acne a bit. I'm still doing them to date though
>have towel on my pillow that I wash together with all of my other towels every week
>avoid diary products
>don't eat junk food or fast food
>don't drink sugary things, only water
>eat fresh
>wash face with antiseptic face lotion in the morning and evening
>use non comedogenic moisturizer
>never touch my face
I'm really depressed here.

Six months? Did you do multiple courses or something?
Does acne clear up as you get older? You should try to worry about it less, stress can cause acne and you seem like you might be overly concerned with it.

My dermatologist told me it's pretty normal to take it for 6 months. The whole thing was one course

That's what I also heard but I just want my acne gone while I'm younger. Am 20. I probably should chill out about the whole problem
Try Paulas choice 2% bha lotion
Worked for me when I started getting spots after accutane

You probably wash your face too much. Using too many products like the antiseptic stuff will cause your skin to produce more oils. I would drop it to once a day if you get sweaty a lot or maybe even every other day.

It's true that recently I've washed my face pretty often. I sometimes wash my face like 4 times a day because I'm paranoid I got my face dirty when I was outside
You could have sensitive skin, and your skin could just be reacting to substances wich are too harsh for it. Try using organic soaps, shampoos, face washes, etc.. Doing that really helped me.
My girlfriend on the other hand though has crazy sensitive skin, and even the wrong fabrics will make her break out.
You have to see what works for your body
