jasmonia25 1 Share Posted March 12, 2012 obviously while on accutane your moisturise many times a day, just wondering do you guys always rinse your face before reapplying or just apply it right on over the previous application, i ask this because i've been rinsing and thats been making my face much more drier then it already is but im also scared constant reapplying will break me out ? any advice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janana 1 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I've been re-applying right over (oil free moisturizer) unless I've been doing something that really makes me need to wash, for example, working out. I still usually wash 3 times a day out of sheer habit, I feel dirty if I don't since I used to wash much more frequently than that, but aside from working out, I'm trying to ween down to 2x a day Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jasmonia25 1 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 sounds good, i was thinking of just washing with cleanser twice a day, day and night instead of about 6-7 times a day just so i can moisturise, thanks for the tip Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alexis Little 10 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Definitely don't wash your face that much. Ouch. I'm naughty and I only wash my face once a day when I take a shower Before Accutane I washed twice a day. Maybe you need a better moisturizer. I use CerVe moisturizing cream and I only have to apply it once-twice a day. It is really thick. I just have a couple spots that get a little drier than the rest so I reapply in those areas maybe once. Doesn't make you break out either. It has been the best stuff I've ever tried. If your moisturizer is non comedogenic then you won't break out. Make sure it says that too. I was using Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizer and it made me break out like crazy.

You can most likely get it online I think. I got it online because I'm a goober who can't locate things in stores. Walmart.com had it and so did Amazon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
