I want to ask people who are on Accutane in the summer: Sunscreen creams you grease your skin? I noticed that when using sunscreen, my skin is oily even more after washing the face. Is this normal? Thank you!

Yes that is normal but it is really important to use sunscreen while on accutane, like the highest factor as that drug does make your skin very photo sensitive. If you don't you will burn badly and can get brown pigmentation on the skin. There are some oil free sunscreens , but don't go out without it :)
