As topic, almost 1month into accutane.. is it fine for me to use hydroquinone or do i have to wait till i'm done with accutane.

How about using Ascorbic Acid (vitamin C) on my face?

I wouldn't use anything topical without the approval of your derm. You risk some major skin irritation with certain products.

mm. I definitely refrained from it. And I'm not applying it until at least a month post-accutane!
