Thank you for your questions. Skincare while on isotretinoin is very important to prevent dry,flaking skin which if not treated can lead to irritated, redness, discomfort and even skin infections. I often recommend gentle over the counter skincare using Aveeno, CeraVe, Cetaphil, Neutrogena or Vanicream brands. You will pick a cleanser for twice daily cleansing and a moisturizer for twice daily application. The one in the morning should have a broad spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or greater), as Isotretinoin increases your susceptibility to burns from sun exposure. I recommend having a lip balm such as Aquaphor to use several times throughout the day. Best of luck with your isotretinoin course!
