Roccutane/Accutane is an isotretinoin.
Tretinoin is a retinoid.

Those are 2 completely different thing that works differently.

Don't freely suggest people to use those without properly explaining them & their usage. The side effects can be really nasty to the point you'd wish you have acne instead.

Isn’t it causing your face over dry?

What facial cleanser you use?

Yea, it's not a good idea to wash too frequently unless you're using a moisturizing wash.

Your skin over produced oil to protect itself when it's dry. It's our body self-defense mechanism. So if you further strip down the oil that your skin, it'll produce more oil. Focus on moisturizing your skin, that's more important. Eventually your skin sebum production will normalize when it's not so dry. But of course don't expect, overnight results la.

like how long for the result to materialize?

Everyone's skin is different, that's why a lot of skin related question don't have a straight forward answer. What works for others, may not work for you & vice versa. Just understand your skin & its underlying problem first. Then be patience & disciplined on your road to recovery. A lot of people want instant results. Depending on the problem, give it roughly a month before you judge whether the solution worked or not.

Our cells need time to heal & grow too. Takkan telan meds today, sapu today or laser today, tomorrow terus can recover into flawless skin? As long as the underlying problem isn't treated, it'll keep on recurring. Plus, looking at the amount of wrong info circulating around here, really face palm doh.gif
