I just started isotritinoin. how long until my skin dries out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In time: Generally within the first 2 weeks you may see this although I have had patients complain within a week. I altered my answer because I was writing as if you were using Retin-A but you are on a Accutaine preparation. Follow closely with your dermatologist for any side effects.
