I received good results while on Acitretin (however, I did not totally clear, I had and still have some stubborn areas) but I was happy with the results. I actually asked my dermatologist if I could come off the Acitretin and see how it went and things were well for quite awhile. (I did flare and I'm now on biologics)
I would check with your dermatologist, perhaps a lower dose would help you still maintain being clear and if you notice things heading in the wrong direction you could increase again if the dermatologist says it's ok. I stayed fairly "almost" clear for awhile on no meds, but I don't recommend doing that as when it flared up it wasn't pretty.
Good luck!!!
