i am on month 2 of accutane and in the last few days i have started to flake and peel all over my face. now i know this is normal and is a good sign the meds are working.. but is it going to be this bad the entire rest of the way or will it slowly get better

It really takes about a year to two years to get the natural oils back in your skin. I'm 6 months off of accutane and still flakey and dry but my lips aren't anymore! Use cereva moisturizer. And ask your derm to mix you up a lip balm cocktail. Mine made one out of aquifer and a certain medicine that repairs lip damage. Just ask I'm sure they will 🙂

Try to keep up with moisturizer and sunscreen and cerave renewing SA lotion is the best. You shouldn't have to suffer
