Thanks for your question. I fully agree with the advice from your dermatologist and Dr Ethan.
Accutane carries risks, so if your acne is mild, its best to start with a retin A cream like retacnyl.
Retacnyl can control your acne breakouts and lighten your dark spots, which are called PIH (post inflammatory hyperpigmentation). It promotes skin renewal and can help with the appearance of mild acne scars.
Achieving good control of your acne is the important principle towards helping your acne prone skin. This prevents new scars from forming, which is a big step forward. Dont be too worried about your existing acne scars. Focus on prevention first!
Hope this helps!
