Accutane really helped my face. I had bad acne, and with the medication my face was super clear. But for some reason, this summer my face has gotten really bad. Not acne like, but little pimples that cover my forehead and my chin. Could it be from the sun? but I don't remember it doing this last summer? and also, should I try to get back on accutane, or should I try the popular Proactiv? I tried proactiv before I took accutane, but it didn't work. But I had acne then, and now its just small pimples all over my face. What do you suggest I do? any thing you suggest will be so greatly appreciated!!

Proactiv is made for a different form of acne than what Accutane is for. Accutane has many side effects so be careful especially not to get impregnated. Yes the sun can damage your skin and increase oil production causing acne. Clinique makes great skin care products.

Your doctor won't give you Accutane unless you have cystic acne.
Have her give you a prescription for Benzaclin, I use it and its awesome!
