hey i jus wanted to let you know that i have the same problem. i was on acutane and my face was clear for about 6 months. but...i started getting little breakouts and next thing i know my face is almost back to how it used to b. its very frustrating. but, one thing i can tell you to do is don't stress out about it. it will clear up in time, but you gotta stop stressing because that is only making it worse.

Do you sleep on your right side? The lack of oxygen to your pores and the detergent from your pillowcase could clog your pores and cause that side of your face to break out more.

I recommend a very good moisturizer for dry skin (make sure it doesn't leave your skin feeling greasy). The better moisturized your skin is the less your glands produce oil which causes acne.

Also, what cleanser are you using? It could also over-dry your skin or cause it to become irritated resulting in blemishes. Try something very soothing such as Aveeno, Clenziderm, or anything else yoru dermatologist recommends.

Thank you everyone for offering me advice. I really appreciate it, and i'm looking foward to stressing less and trying to sleep on my back, because that could be why i break out so much more on my right side.
Stress kills me everytime. Not just emotionally, but my skin. It's strange, i never really understood how stress could aggrivate my skin so much, but it sure does!

Definitely. Stress is extremely hard on not only your mind, but also hair skin and nails. Try and do nice things for yourself like skin masks once a week, bubble baths or something.

I hope it improves

do you sleep on your right side? do you sleep with your face on your hand? that's all i can thing of. also, make sure you don't eat too much greasy foods. I find that I break out especially when I have too much fast food.

Tried everything? Have you tried Buzz on Acne? I thought I had tried everything too until I tried this! I'm in college and have been using this for three months! Did I say that I was clear? I'm Clear! First to leave were the cysts then the deep red marks on my cheeks and then all my blackheads! On top on all of this, my skin is hydrated! My doctor was ready to give me accutane when I found this! Believe me, you haven't tried anything like this before! No benzoyl peroxide and no salicylic acid...just no acne or blackhead bliss! I love this stuff! It has changed my life! www.buzzonhealth.com Read the reviews as they are right on! Good luck with your quest! This has ended it for me!

I have been on Roaccutane twice & my acne has returned i have now been put on differin which i dont know if it will work. Getting pretty fed up with it now but im hoping the Differin will work.

You should ask a dermatologist about that.. Because breakouts can be caused by lots of factors.. even stress and the food that you eat. Maybe he can help.. http://www.naturalbeautyaz.com

Thank you for your advice as it helped me too

hey just like you i break out wayyy more on one side than the other .. my left side is much worse than the right. I honostly feel like i just have more oil on the left side. I make it a point to never sleep on it ... i always sleep on the right side of my face or back and it doesnt make a difference. It is just the way my skin is ... maybe my oil glands are more active on that side or something who knows ... but i, like you, would love it if one side of my face were as clear as the other. But look at it this way as well .. at least both sides dont look like the bad side haha .. it could be worse !!
