I'm 24 years old. I had acne issues and my dermatologist had prescribed isotretinoin tablets. I'm taking it since 3 and half months. I have developed side effects like dry skin and a lot of hyperpigmentation. Can I stop isotretinoin? And I was thinking of using vitamin c serum for face. Is that okay? Plzz help. Z.
