Same with Proactiv... a topical solution is going to make your acne worse for the first couple weeks, then it will clear up afterwards. That's what happened to me... ride it out a little bit longer before you consider it a failure. I've used the acne.org regimen on and off and I've always had to deal with it initially getting worse only at first.

Accutane is the only thing that works OP. I had some of the worst acne on the planet srs i looked like a i had bubonic plague with big ****ing lumps all over my skin that literally if i touched would burst and go everywhere and my face would bleed like ****. I had all the normal side effects like dry lips, skin etc. even made my dink dry. Dont know if it was from the accutane but i swear my dink shrunk arounf the same time i got off the drug but i doubt youll get any of that. good luck

To add to this thread: If you shave and have acne, use a double edge razor instead of cartridge razors. The double edge razor will eliminate razor bumps and is much better for your skin.
This may have been pointed out already, but it is worth reposting if someone is out there suffering bad from ingrown hairs and razor bumps.

Skip the lemon juice until the marks are healed. It's true, with your skin turning over cells slower you are slowing the healing process.
For red marks you want to be careful about avoiding prescriptions that can kill bacteria/yeast. That can cause a new kind of acne post-Accutane. Also very common.
Instead, try a Vitamin C serum and Hyaluronic acid. The acid is a humectant and will hydrate your skin while the Accutane dries up the oil and reduces keratin production. Afterwards, use a little bit of Sudocrem to aid the healing process and reduce redness.
Sudocrem works on all minor cuts, razor burn, and burns. It can heal skin, but also let it scab over very quickly. The skin underneath will then heal.
The only way any of this can harm your skin is by using too much sudocrem, which is comedogenic.
It only runs about $4.

I've been using the acne.org benzoyl peroxide for about 2 years. It helps, but I wouldn't use their moisturizer. Their moisturizer made things worse. I also use the benzoyl peroxide only once daily, and only in the evenings or when I know I won't get a lot of sun. Otherwise, the benzoyl peroxide, which is very sensitive to sun exposure, will make your face very red. It takes months for it to be 90% better. I'm not sure how to rid of the last 10% to be honest. I'm trying probiotics for the remainder, which is still very rare for a pimple to pop up.
Your face has to be extremely bad in order to be prescribed accutane. You have to get special permission here in the U.S. Ask a dermatologist if you can get it, but it's expensive. Good luck
Edit: OP taking accutane. Never mind

Thinking of using something topical that can help get rid of the red marks faster along with accutane

went on accutane 2 months ago, only 40mg a day no higher, zero sides except dry corners of mouthSOMETIMES
had my initial huge purge, hurt like hell, face 100% clear now and shoulder as well, back is healing up now
edit : my backne was the kind that would wake me up in the middle of the night, had to wear undershirts because of the blood/pus, , all my tests have come back perfect since starting accutane and everything is cleared up, my back is just healing from some spots that were bad

OP, wait 3 months on accutane before worrying about potmarks and red blotches. Just let it do it's thing.
I've had acne since 12 years old. Now 44...still have acne. Was on accutane when I was 14, for almost a year. Did clear it up, but when I got off it, acne returned, but never as bad. Worse side effect was severe dry lips. I mean, lips literally cracking open and bleeding. Stay on top of lip balm.

Just stay away from cleansers and acids.

Dermatologists hate Accutane. Accutane should be the first option for someone like OP. Other methods would never work and they know this. They just want to milk him for as much money as possible then put him on accutane anyway...
"Last resort" my ass. Why resort to methods that arent effective when you could have done accutane from the start?

Wait bro are you already using accutane? Heard that can bring some long term side effects, I forgot of what. Also, up your veggie intake, start drinking vegetable smoothies and juices. Eat a lot of fruit. Look up more alternatives so that you do not have to use accurate or some other prescription that will only treat the symptom, not the cause. Look up The Amazing Liver Flush by Andreas Moritz, (rip) his forums contain quite a few people who suffer from ailments etc. and owls when suffer side effects of accutane. Good luck
Also, **** derms. Brb creams and pills for every symptom

People also suggested lowering dairy intake but I tried that and it had no effect on me.
I did notice though that when I was on zinc I got acne less frequently and the red marks didn't last for long.
But the zinc I was taking jumped from 6 dollars a bottle for 33 dollars a bottle cause the company went out of bussiness so I stopped buying it.

I'm sure it's been stated many times in this thread but get on that accutane time. It was the only thing that worked for me. I've only experienced minor long term side effects, would still say it was worth it.

I had moderate acne from 18-24, just took Proactiv and it helped for the most part. Around 25 it all cleared up and now at 31 I started breaking out in one part of my upper cheek/temple. Diet hasn't changed either, **** me

If you want glowing skin in the meantime you'll have to start eating beta carotene for healthy skin. Here is a list. Tomatoes aren't on the list, but if they were they would be right around #11.
