I can give you some recommendations for products to use on tane.

CeraVe foaming facial wash. I love love love this wash super gentle. Removes makeup really well and makes you feel clean!

CeraVe AM moisturizer. Another product that I like it is light and has 30 SPF in it which you will want for the daily sun exposure.

CeraVe moisturizing cream. This product I would kill to get if I had too. It is the best moisturizer I have ever used. Nice and thick sets in quickly and really hydrates skin.

Bag balm I liked this for my lips. Tastes and smells off but you get used to it, it's actually meant for chapped cow utters you will see on the jar.

Carmex. I switched between Carmex and Bag Balm Yous lips need a few different things

Mupirocin ointment I used this when my lips were really bad because they will get there even if you take great care of them. My derm prescribed it for them.

Vaseline intensive care. I used this lotion after I showered to combat the dry skin on my body. Didn't get as bad as my face though.

Water water water. A good rule of thumb if your urine is yellow your not drinking enough. If its clear your good on water. It helps out everything. Trust me.

Fish oil. I used this to combat the sore achy joints people get and I got while taking tane. It's helps a bit. I def found them helpful.

Sunscreen. You will need to use a 30spf or higher for the sun. You will burn very easily and worse than you ever have. I'm talking blisters and bleeding.

Thanks for all your recommendations! I did know that about urine being yellow/clear. I drink a lot of water anyways. When I tried dans regimen it was in the winter. My skin gets dry in the winter anyways, but the regimen made it worse. So now that I'll be doing accutane in the summer, I wonder how dry it will be. When were you on tane?

Also, I know you have to stay away from vitamin a, do you if you can any supplements/vitamins while taking tane?

I use distilled water to wash my face, it is less drying and irritating than tap water. You can get a gallon jug for $1 at the grocery store.

I started my course in march and ended in October so the middle of my course was the summer time. I got dry yes but being on it in the summer should actually make the dryness better than if you were on it in the winter. Yea you need to avoid vitamin a so if any of your multi vitamins or anything contains it I would find a new one!

Last month I decided on accutane. My dermatologist's medical assistant made a follow up appt this month. I come in and basically that MA screwed everything up. Last month she was supposed to put my in the ipledge system and she didn't. Not only that but she put in the wrong prescription for minocycline. Now I have to wait another month to get accutane.

 

While I wait I thought I'd get some ideas on what products I should use while on accutane.

 

I've heard bag balm does wonders for dry lips. So I'm thinking of buying some since almost everyone gets dry lips on accutane. What are some gentle cleansers I can use? I have Dan's cleanser, or should I use something else? Also, I really didn't like his moisturizer. I was using cetaphil cream but that is really greasy.

Should have told your dermatologist "I am a god you dull creature and I will not be bullied by---"

Haha nice..
