Isotretinoin and acne

Hi Søren,

I am really sorry to hear about your skin problems! It sounds like you are really badly affected and naturally I will try to help you overcome your skin problems – I know from personal experience how frustrating it is to walk around with acne.

First of all, I would recommend you to read my guide “The Danish Acne Cure”, where you can find a lot of good advice and directions for treating acne. You can read more about the guide here:

Secondly, I would recommend you to take a closer look at the Danish Skin Care series – it is especially developed for skin with acne based on the knowledge and documentation that is obtained during surveys and research. At the same time, Danish Skin Care is a simple 3 step system consisting of 4 products that you use to cleanse and treat your skin both morning and evening.

And let me just leave a quick remarks regarding that it is possible to have dry skin and acne at the same time – acne does not mean that you have greasy skin. On the contrary, it is really important to treat dry skin by applying the correct amount of moisture – if not, the lack of moisture can actually worsen the acne, because the skin becomes “stressed” from the lack of moisture and screams for “help” by having outbreaks.

Back to the products I have developed for Danish Skin Care – they are 100 % free from perfume, dyes and irritating ingredients. Harsh products are among the biggest causes for acne. With the series from Danish Skin Care, your skincare routine would look like this:

Morning:

Perfect Skin Face Wash: Rinse your face with water, make the products foamy and wash your face. Rinse with plenty of water and dry off your face.

Perfect Skin Day Protector: Day crème with sunscreen, which is very important I order to calm your skin enough to battle the acne and protect the skin from the damaging rays from the sun – the rays from the sun are a huge cause for skin problems, so sunscreen is extremely important! At the same time, the product is filled with great ingredients and vitamins for the skin, which will help treat acne.

Evening:

Perfect Skin Face Wash: Rinse your face with water, make the products foamy and wash your face. Rinse with plenty of water and dry off your face.

Perfect Skin Power Treat: A daily peeling, which is applied to your face with a cotton pad after cleansing. Leave the product on your face overnight. A daily peeling is very effective for those of us with acne, since it helps clean our pores and at the same time apply calming ingredients to your skin and helps it stay clean and relaxed. Perfect Skin Power Treat is based on BHA (2 % salicylic acid), because research has proved that to be the best peeling for acne, whiteheads, blackheads - as well as being effective on scars and changes in pigmentation, which often occurs with acne and blemishes…

Perfect Skin Moisturizer: Night crème, which is filled with great ingredients like the day crème (only without sunscreen).

A skincare kit from Danish Skin Care has the longevity of 3 months, so the products are good for long lasting use, and the best thing is that they are really easy to use. No eye crème, masks, spot treatment, skin tonic, etc. It is all built in the skincare line.

Regarding crèmes, it is important to choose a crème that is correct for your skin type, I mentioned this earlier. So, if you have greasy skin, choose the kit for greasy skin. Dry skin, choose for dry skin. It sounds like your skin contains too much moisture, so I would recommend the kit for dry skin – at least for a while, because your skin changes all the time. So now, when your skin gets rid of all the harsh products, it can easily change in to being “combination skin”, for example. And of course, you will need to switch to using that kit. My advice is, every time you buy skincare products make sure to feel/observe your skin.
