How long until i start seeing results with acutane? :) (moderate/mild acne) 1week in no clearing up yet :(
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually 3 wks-6mos: It's usually will start working within 3 weeks as sebaceous gland activity is diminished but scars or cystic acne may take 6 months to resolve. Stop smoking and continue skin care regimens.
