Dear Doctor, Roche said: "oral absorption of isotretinoin is enhanced when given with a high-fat meal. Both peak plasma concentration (Cmax) and the total exposure (AUC) of isotretinoin were more than doubled following a standardized high-fat meal when compared with Accutane given under fasted conditions". My meal while on Accutane just has normal fat like: pan-fried meat, vegetable, bread (no milk). Does it affect the absorption of Accutane? What's the key? Thank you, Doctor! Bests,

I can see no problem at all in wearing makeup while on Accutane. You will see that the need for coverage decreases as the beneficial effects of acne ensue. Be sure to wear non-comedogenic make up.
