I been on Absorica(isotretinoin)20mg for about 3 weeks. The only side effects i been experiencing is mild dry face and lips. Nothing too serious that i can not handle.
Do i need to wash my face while on this medication still?
If so What kind of face wash and face lotions(that won't clog your pores) do ya'll recommend?
I been looking at the Cerave Foaming facial cleanser https://www.amazon.com/CeraVe-Hydrating-Cleanser-12-Ounce/dp/B000YJ2SKM/
and cerave moisturizing lotion https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000YJ2SLG/
^^are these good?
Yes, you still need to wash your face. I personally think CeraVe products are great. I am in my fifth month and I have been using CeraVe moisturizing cleanser and either Cetaphil or CeraVe cream as a moisturizer during the day. When I am excessively dry, I use shea butter at night. The key with Accutane is GENTLE, be gentle with your skin and use gentle products. You'll also want to use sunscreen if you're going to be out in the sun very long; using a moisturizer for your face that has an SPF would probably be a good idea too although I have not done that (I think CeraVe makes a daily moisturizer with SPF). Good luck to you!
