I understand what you are going through. I have been on Accutane 2X (had a relapse about 1 year after the first usage). I still break out which is frustrating but have much less of a problem. My skin is much less oily (yes GOD bless insurance and accutane). Anyways, I see a dermatologist on a regular basis and I have tried Cetaphil -it dried my skin out and made it raw and I broke out worse. How long have you been on it?

I use this fantastic lotion that my dermatologist recommended-I can't remember the name but when I get home in the AM I will look-it is great-most lotions are pore clogging for me (even the clinique, E. arden etc.. etc..) but this lotion is fantastic! I can only use Dove soap on my face-that is it, any other soap or cleanser makes me break out and dries my skin out. I also use Retin A on my nose every other day, I can't use it anywhere else b/c it makes my skin raw and that hurts. I hate my skin-blah!!!!

I have also had laser treatment for acne scars 2X-has anybody else tried any other modalities to get rid of scars? They have shrunk but are still present (I have them at the crease of my nose)

I think I have spent more on my damn skin then on anything else I own.
