I finished my second course of accutane In December 2011 and is it safe to use "Origins Modern Friction" exfoliator? On the origins website it says “Skin-refining Rice Starch cushioned in cream, rapidly removes sluggish cells, uneven patches and signs of skin damage and discolourations. Lemon Oil kick starts the process of illumination. Vitamin C mops up skin-menacing free radicals. There's no ouch, other complications, no redness or flaking. Signs of lines and size of pores appear to shrink.

This isn't true. We don't recommend people who drink drastically (as in are alcoholics) take Accutane because their liver is already compromised. Occasional drinking while on Accutane is completely fine and safe. Additionally, you are on a lower dosage (40mg) so there is nothing to worry about.
Accutane makes you more sun sensitive, so if you aren't wearing sunscreen every day and you are African American, you are simply creating a problem by excessively tanning your face. It's not the Accutane, it's the sun sensitivity mixed with the fact that you're not wearing sunscreen! It will go...
I have prescribed Accutane for nearly 30 years. Teeth discoloration is not something I have seen come up at all. I would consult with your dentist to see if anything else is occurring to warrant these changes.
