Skin after Roaccutane

I finished my second round of Roaccutane in March this year. 

This is my skin now:

 


As you can see I still have spots, enlarged pores, oily skin, and scars!!!

My skin is not perfect and this bothers me but the result this time is so much better than the results from the first time I took R.

My dermatologist said that some people need to be prescribed more than once for it to make a difference and also that regardless of age acne can return and there's the potential I'll need to take it again.

I'm constantly scrutinising my skin and am still very self conscious, but I will now go out without makeup (only to walk my dogs but still- progress!).

I have regular Micropeels to remove dead skin cells and try and get rid of some of the scarring...

I'd love to hear how everyone else felt after finishing their course of Roaccutane!
