The timing is interesting since it started after the start and joint stiffness isn't a commonly reported side effect but hydration electrolyte shifts or reduced caloric intake can contribute. I'd increase fluids and monitor it. If it continues or there's swelling Id have inflammation markers checked rather than assuming it is Reta. I do take it and have not had that side effect. TY

Hi! I def have been seeing more about KPV for skin inflammation. It has some really interesting anti inflammatory properties and potential benefits. That said, research specifically for acne is still pretty limited. I wouldn't consider it a direct replacement for Accutane. (My daughter did Accutane and yes there are side effects but to date best thing she did for her face). Not sure if anyone else in here has used it specifically for acne would be interested in the results too.

Yes you can but pack in a cool dry area of the bag. I have brought them in my bag with a small ice pack with them in a plastic bag. Refrigerate as soon as you get to your destination. Best if they are NOT reconstituted and in powder form

@Sara Birchmier Yes I have has zero issues.

GHK-cu and it does take some time. You can also use that as a topical but you need to micro needle for best results. You can chat GPT how to mix it for tropical.

Lmao. Same
