I wouldn't say you look great :(

(hey I am being honest)

I think the concensus is that the redness does not go after coming off
accutane. I have noticed that my pores are closing up again & the
lumpyness has gone, but the red marks remain...

take care, simon

The redness will disappear with time, 6 months to a year. Without the
redness you wouldn't be so aware of some of your minor scarring.

A little time and you'll be fine. You could always consider a few zaps of
the laser once everything is healed up.
