Hi, i just started Accutane about 3 weeks ago. I have felt the effects already. Ive had a rash, my lips are extremely dry, but most importantly, my face is super dry. Its really embarrassing. My friends have mentioned it and just yesterday one of my friends said my skin is disgusting because its so dry and hes right. I have skin flakes mainly on my nose and chin and its really disgusting to me and other people. I use a moisturizer every morning and night and i even take it to school. Between classes i go to the bathroom to put more on and i keep it in my book bag and apply even more just after 10 minutes. I do it when nobody is looking. Its so freaking annoying and i just want it to stop. Is it because my moisturizer isnt working or is it because Accutane causes that degree of dryness? I also dont thik its healthy for my skin to put on moisturizer every 10-15 minutes. Anybody have any home remedies or suggestions that will help with this annoying problem?

What is the brand of moisturiser you are using?

 

Use a soapless cleanser (cetaphil)

Use micellar lotion water for removing makeup

use an oil free moisturiser

Do a moisturising mask every two days
