How Long Does Isotretinoin Take to Clear Skin?
Isotretinoin 40 mg, a powerful treatment for severe acne, typically shows noticeable results within 6 to 8 weeks. However, the full course of therapy usually lasts 4 to 6 months, depending on individual response and the severity of acne. During the initial weeks, some people may experience a temporary flare-up, but this is part of the healing process. By the end of the treatment, most patients see significant or complete clearance of acne. It’s essential to follow your dermatologist’s advice and stay consistent with the prescribed dosage for optimal results. Patience is key to achieving long-lasting clear skin with isotretinoin.

I have no medical training - apart from attending a human biology course - but this advice makes sense. It's all too easy to say "Talk to your doctor." but that advice is pretty obvious. I think people posting on here want advice that isn't so obvious.
Anyhow, a very good post.
