I start my prescription in a few days. In general it looks like people agree on Dr. Dan's chap stick, but moisturizers seem to be all over the place and the more I try to research the more confusing it becomes.

Answer: Moisturizers to use while on Accutane Through trial and error when having to take Accutane (isotretinoin) myself for cystic acne, I tried out and sampled many facial moisturizers. Having an oily complexion, I hardly ever used any lotions or creams on my face other than sunscreen. In retrospect, I understand your confusion. I find that when taking Accutane, the skin is dry but also can be very sensitive; therefore, I recommend AveneTrixera Emollient Cleanser Gel and Lotion to all of my patients while on Accutane.

Answer: Moisturize and SPF while on Accutane Agree - love the Dr. Dan's lip balm. Good regular moisturization is key to minimizing accutane dryness. Here are some of my favorites - CeraVe AM with SPF 30 for the morning, Avene Tolerance Extreme for the night time. For the body, I love CeraVe, Vanicream, or Cetaphil. It is still possible to get a few dry patches while diligently moisturizing on accutane - also known as retinoid dermatitis. If this is the case, visit with your dermatologist and they can prescribe an anti-inflammatory cream to help treat this.

Answer: Moisturizer on accutane To a degree this is a matter of personal preference. Some things are true across the board thought: no salicylic or glycolic acids, non exfoliating, non comedogenic. One with a sunscreen combo would be helpful for the summer. You may try these:Avene XeraCalmAvene Tolerance ExtremeEpiCeram, Bionect (Rx)
