i've been on accutane 10mg more than 3 month the results seems to be promising for a oily scalp

suddenly got the attention into the retin-a cream previously I've tested with sacylic acid but its no more worth for me in a rapid sebum build up in my head

The only Retinol cream that I will use is this one : http://www.makeupartistschoice.com/prod ... 40-54.html

The ones on the market are mostly crap made of synthetic vitamin a that is pretty hard core for the skin.... Your skin just peel of after the first application...

Do you know that Miconazole Nitrate, Copper peptides or this http://www.makeupartistschoice.com/prod ... 80-54.html

will do a damn good job to control sebum.

Retin-A has been shown to effect cell proliferation and vascular proliferation. Studies have shown that Retin-A alone can result in good to moderate hairgrowth. The effect that Retin-A or Tretinoin has on growing hair is even more enhanced when used in combination with topical minoxidil. Dr Adam Lewenberg who markets a combination of minoxidil and tretinoin which is known as the Lewenberg formula carried out studies and recorded results of treatments carried out on patients. Dr Adam Lewenberg treated 484 people with a mixture of topical minoxidil and tretinoin. After two years of treatment "cosmetically satisfying" results were obtained in about 90% of these people. In an article written by Dr Lewenberg about his studies, Dr Lewenberg noted the following: Unlike Minoxidil which effects on the vertex of the scalp, the combination of Tretinoin and Minoxidil results in hair growth in all regions of the scalp.

something lies under sebum i can feel strongly

Probably not the greatest idea to use retin-a on your scalp if you are on accutane.

Too much vit a or w/e
