hello,

I would like to make a list of good stuff to use while on accutane

1. Vitamin E is great help to avoid dryness - take Vitamin E supplement daily
2. hydro-stick for lips (they get pretty chapped)
3. drinking accutane pill with a spoon of extra-virgin olive oil (this will help your stomach, and triglycerides as well not to go very high)
4. don't drink alcohol while on accutane!
5. some good moisturizer for face?

all accutane users please share your advices
I will start with accutane soon so I am trying to find a way to make this journey as easy as it gets

thanks
sincerely nsm

Hey, welcome to the journey of Accutane. Hopefully you get great success!

1.) Get a moisurtizer with some SPF. I used Cetaphil SPF15 Daily Facial Moisturizer and it works great.

2.) Get some chap stick. Most people experience dryness, some even severe. I recommend getting Aquaphor or even Dr. Dan't Cortibalm. If it gets too unbearable (and it might), you can ask your derm for some perscription lip balm.

3.) People say drink tons of water - personally I never really noticed any difference, but I did it anyways. Too much water is never bad

4.) Vitamin C and E pills are always good for you.

Thats all I can think for now. With accutane, it might be worst before it becomes better. Or, it might do wonders in the first month. It really varies between one person to another.

Just be patient and let Accutane do the work. Good luck!
