Is there an over-the-counter version of accutane?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Accutane has potential serious side effects. There are alternatives that are less risky. Consider good skincare regimen, retinoids like tretinoin or tazarotene, led light therapy, photodynamic therapy. Exhaust other possibilities before starting accutane.

Is Accutane significantly more effective than over-the-counter products?
I am not sure how this works but I would like to discuss my problem with acne. I have seen multiple dermatologist and have not been happy with the results. I am currently on doxycycline and I use a benzoyl peroxide wash with epiduo and an over the counter spot treatment. I have spoke with my Dr and he thinks I would be a great candidate for Accutane. He wants me to go to another dermatologist but I thought I would try this first. Acne?
What vitamines can I take during accutane? Any would help? C? E? I know you can't take a, but the others? Thank you xx
