Definitely you SHOULD NOT STOP retinoids(sotret) suddenly as it'll cause flare up or increase acne. You need to consult the doctor again regarding increasing or decreasing the dose of retinoids as it's prescribed depending on severity of acne at present. Usually retinoids are given for few months and then stopped by lowering the dose slowly under the guidance of Dermatologist.

Health Tips
skin care for acne: Use gentle cleanser for washing face 2-3 times daily(as harsh cleansing can damage skin and increase infection of acne)
Apply moisturizer immediately after washing face, to retain moisture in skin as healthy skin needs it. (Moisture and oily skin is different)
After moisturizer, apply sunscreen during day time.
Use only NON-COMEDOGENIC sunscreen( as other sunscreen will block follicles and increase acne)
Early treatment will always prevent PIGMENTATION and scars.
wash/change your towel every 2 days.
change your pillow cover every 5 days.
Do not frequently touch your face with hands.
DO NOT SQUEEZE the lesions, as it damages dermis of skin, causing DEEP SCARS AND PIGMENTATION, which is difficult to treat.
