If I got an alcohol free toner, that should be fine to use on accutane, right? I always have extra bits of makeup on my face after I wash it once.. so I end up having to wash my face twice, which is getting much too drying.... I figured a toner would solve that problem lol. Has anyone ever used Nivea's alcohol free moisturizing toner? I hear its good.

This might be a silly question, but have you tried using your sensitive skin cleanser and a baby's hair brush or a facial brush for removing your makeup? Another marvelous thing I did sometimes when I (rarely) wore makeup when I was on Accutane was massaging in some Vaseline all over my whole face, eyelids included to help remove the makeup. I'd tissue it off, and then cleanse my face normally.
I think the second would work better for you. The skin feels SO marvelous after you've done that treatment. I still do that sometimes and my face just loves the moisture. 
Kimmay mentioned some Aveeno makeup removers she tried, but they do have salicylic acid in them, I think, so they might be too irritating for your Accutaned skin.

I've actually recently tried the baby hair brush method.. I did that for probably a week and a half, maybe 2 weeks... but unfortunately, it was makeup my face a lot worse. My face would get very red... my red marks seemed to stand out even more.. I was getting a lot more "rash" type bumps on my face, etc. I never thought of using vaseline though! Thanks for that tip
