Recommended products for Accutane initial breakout?

Thank you for your question. I completely agree that you should not use any acne products while you are on accutane. Your best bet, especially if you are having irritation, is to be gentle. Moisturize with a non-comedogenic cream (Cera-ve is the best over the counter commercial product). Your dermatologist may have more specific higher end recommendations he/she prefers. Depending on the severity of your acne and the severity of the initial flare, on some occasions your dermatologist may recommend you taking a short course of prednisone to help. This is not a very frequent recommendation however. Accutane is a serious medication and your skin will not be very comfortable while on the medication. That being said, in the great majority of cases, the results are completely worth the trouble. Stick with it and keep moisturizing.
