Hello everyone, the question is right in the title. I've just began roaccutane (20mg/day, will maybe switch to 40 mg in 2 weeks or 1 month, but I have to go see the derm before), and I was wondering if that moisturizer would be good for me, are there any European users of that moisturizer that used it while being on accutane? I'm affraid the lactic acid can be irritative or too irritative for a roacc user. Thanks for your answers.

well there is 5% lactic acid, and it will irritate everyone for a while, so it will prbs irritate you for a week but you'll get used to it. smile.gif

It's 5% urea not 5% lactic acid. It's designed for people with eczema so should be fine for a bit of dry skin caused by roaccutane.
