2 questions:
1.Hey, I tend to get red cheeks and nose because of accutane. I found a good moisturizer I used to use with no perfume, colors, parabens etc. and no irritable and harsh ingredients, but it contains some vitamin A and I'm on accutane now (20-40 mg) which is a low dose, so can I use it without worries?

2.I have marks after my previous acne, how can I treat those on accutane without irritating the skin? :) 

The picture is 2 month old and my skin doesn't look as bad now, but I still tend to blush and I have some acne marks :)

It's called tane burn. It is absolutely normal. Make sure you moisturize regularly. The moisturizer you have in mind sounds ok to use as long as it does not have any active ingredients (salicylic acid). Also, marks will clear up on their own once you're off tane and are not breaking out anymore. Leave your skin alone and be gentle while you're on tane and up to 12 months after.
