I am in my mid 20's and I have been on accutane for 5 months. My acne was not that bad just persistant. My question is that my face gets extremely oily and I really liked the affect the accutane gave me by keeping the oil level down, how do I keep the oil level down now that I'm off the accutane?

Talk to your dermatologist and consider Retin-A cream. On the over-the-counter side consider a product called Seban, astringents, and/or benzoyl peroxide medications. Hope this helps. Eliot
