Is It Ok to Use Salicylic Acid While on Accutane?

February 24, 2013
Asked By:andrei555

I am currently on accutane. I use a green tea/salicylic acid 2% foam cleanser only once a day ( usually at the end of the day). I read that using anything else on your skin while on accutane is not good because it causes excess irritation. Should i continue the use of this cleanser? can it hinder my accutane progress?
