accutane


Recommended Posts

I was on accutane, still recovering from it. But my acne has cleared up!!. While on accutane I used super gentle moisturizers and soaps (Costco size Cetaphil Lotion and face/body wash) because my skin is dry, you shouldn't use anything abrasive since scarring with accutane doesn't heal nicely. The best thing for the lips and dryness is Aquaphor (made by Eucerin) initially I thought it was overpriced vaseline (petroleum jelly) but it works so well your lips and your skin will thank you. A tub of Aquaphor lasts for about a year and I paid about $25 for it. Also avoid the sun or use sunscreen while you're on it. Try to take it at the same time each day and with your biggest meal (dinner with some element of protein/fat like Chicken, beef etc. (accutane is fat soluble), otherwise you'll be pissing it away if you're trying to take it with veggies). Good luck!!
