[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Research shows that differin combined with benzoyl peroxide is one of the best treatments. The combination is marketed under Epiduo. However, you could use differin and a separate benzoyl peroxide wash simultaneously. Don't forget there are two strengths of differin. Accutane is really from a bygone era and has some dangerous side effects that are quite common. Don't forget, [b]accutane is from the time when they thought pumping you full of oral antibiotics for the rest of your life was a good idea to prevent facial acne.[/b][/quote]

No, that era was pre-Accutane.  I lived that era (1970s), then had a few decades of terrible skin, and went on Accutane at 33yo in 1994.  It was a fairly new drug at that time, and no one was using antibiotics long-term for acne by then.

Both of my teenagers used Accutane as well, and are blemish-free now.  Unfortunately, it didn't exist when I was their age, and therefore although my skin is clear now, I have acne scars.

Accutane is amazing IME.[/quote]
