Q: Moisturizing product to use after Accutane?
A:
Accutane dries the skin and lips. As a person with a history of acne, and probably oily skin, you may not be accustomed to using a rich, heavy moisturizer. Cetaphil and Cerave cleansers and moisturizers are good choices (they are available in most drug stores). Also avoid hot water. Aquaphor or Cortibalm are good choices for the lips.
