Is it ok to wear makeup to cover up acne while on Accutane?

Question

Arnold R. Oppenheim, MD (retired) · Answer

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.

It's fine to wear makeup whilst taking Accutane. Make sure you are using a quality makeup line though - and one that's not causing your acne to actually be worse!
