Can we use at night Bioderma night peel with 15% glycolic acid when we are on Accutane?

Question

Deborah M. Longwill, DO · Answer

Dear Ana, Thank you for your inquiry. Accutane is a serious prescription medication and it is important for you to choose a selection of beneficial products that will impact your skin in a positive way. The products you should use while on Accutane should actively work to restore and replenish the moisture of your skin. Glycolic acid main function is to exfoliate the skin and using exfoliating agents with Accutane might cause tremendous irritation. Hope this was helpful Good luck !

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

while on accutaneo you should be getting peels, lasers, and facials regularly and we have a very extensive skincare plan for my patients (see link) and have them do enlighten peels at home.Acne requires a combination approach to get long term improvement.  For all patients on isotretinoin, we require them to be on skin care such as vitamin C, glycolic cream, kojic acid serums in the morning and retinols and salicylic acid at night.   All of our patients get clear+brilliant non ablative laser along with a microsecond YAG laser such as aerolase or laser genesis and microneedling with PRP or microneelding RF like intensif or fractora monthly to help improve breakouts, speed the healing process, and improve scarring and facial redness while on the isotretinoin/accutane.  LED light therapy, cosmelan/enlighten peels, salt facial or dermalinfusion can be done as well to speed up the improvement. I sugges tyou go to an expert who combines skin care, lasers, microneedling, PRP, and facials while on oral medications for acne.  Best, Dr. Emer.
