As someone that was on Tret for around 2 years and accutain for 6months I’m gonna talk about my experience on both
Disclaimer: During my time on both my knowledge and overall health vastly differed. As I was eating way better and knew what I was doing on accutain and not tret. Also I was 15-17 on tret and 17-18 on accutain. So take what I say with a grain of salt.
Tret: I started use tret in 2023 and finished around 2025. In my experience tret definitely cleared up my skin more than any other cope products that can be found in stores. Yet with this being said it did have its ups and downs when clearing up my skin. At time throughout the use my skin would clear up and have very few visble acne. Yet I would also go through purges more than expected (ik that’s common but for 2 years it was not fun). By 1 year and a few months in I started seeing no progress and acne actually getting worse than before. This is when I made the switch.
Accutain: I just recently finished my cycle and I can say it was 100% worth it. I started on 30mg a day and honestly it was hell for the first few months. The dry skin and lips were horrid, my eyes were also dry and hard to open (I started closing my eyes on the highway every morning otw to school), and was overall a pain to live with. Eventually I uped the dose to 60mg a day and by then I started getting used to the dryness and the purging was already calming down. After this it was pretty much smooth sailed as I didn’t have as bad dryness anywhere and my skin was pretty much cleared up.
Conclusion: I will always reccomend accutain over Tret if anyone ever ask as it did more for me in 6 months than tret in 2 years (like I said before take it with a grain of salt).
(Sorry if there are any mistakes I’m currently in the backseat of an uber)
