Hi I've been on accutane for a little over a month and my acne is clearing up. But my face is ether really Red! Or pink! It sucks I'm out side skateboarding everyday in sunny California for at least 6 hours a day I wear oil free spf 55 sunscreen I apply it every 1.5 to 2 hours why is my face still red or pink!!! Please help me
i will be wrong if i jump in conclusion but what i'm saying is..since accutane is suppose to effect ur sebaceous glands..be careful and use moisturiser IF NEEDED.
IF u feel dry that is.
are u lips dry?
what power of accutane are u taking?
for how long?
what is the weather there like?
cold?
but i suggest u please avoid the sun as much as u can.
its not a great thing when on accutane or evn when using topical stuff.
anything topical u r using?
is ur face dry?specially after taking accutane?lips?
avoid sun by all means.
a low% bha wash is apt for acne prone skin.
but when i was on accutane(it was winter here..i'm from a tropical country) i was given a cleansing lotion for sensitive skin.it was moisturising as well.so u might not need a cream at all.
