Hey everyone. I'm about 4 days into Accutane and my face is already turning into a desert. I've been washing once a day with Cetaphil gentle cleanser. Moisturising twice a day and drinking plenty of water. I'm also taking vitamin E, D3 and biotin. Since my face is so dry I recently added jojoba oil to my routine at night. 

 

Any tips from you guys to help with the dry lizard skin :)

Moved this to prescription medications, you may get better responses here.

It sounds to me like your doing everything you can. I personallyfind though that Cetaphil dries me out when I use it so maybe looking into a more creamy cleanser may help too.

That's all I used, as well as aquaphor on my lips :) there's nothing else you can do. Basic cleanser, basic moisturizer and aquaphor.

 

i also got very tired at the beginning of my course, as well as some headaches, but they all faded over time. By 2/3 months i felt absolutely fine minus the dryness

Another days gone by and now I'm starting to get some pretty moderate lower back pain. :/

Alright guys. It's been around a week. My back is killing me and joints are sore as a mother. I really could use some advice. I can't take fish oil....

take ibuprofen for muscle pain.

This is the hard part I'm afraid!
