Jason Emer, MD · Answer

these supplements will not be affected by Isotretinoin. However prober skincare is needed (see link).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.

Thank you for your question.Certain supplements and vitamins can interact with isotretinoin therapy, which are outlined in the iPledge booklet. Regular monitoring of labs will be helpful to monitor for any side effects such as liver toxicity. I highly recommend you consult with your prescribing physician regarding your treatment and further questions. Take care and good luck.
