orie_hamasaki 3 Share Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) I'm starting a course of Accutane next week, min. of 4 months. Anyone have any tips relating to diet or general tips? P.S I eat a lot of sugar. Also can anyone recommend a face moisturiser for sensitive skin? Edited March 13, 2016 by orie_hamasaki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WittySock 90 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Hi there It seems pretty widely accepted that is is good to take your pills with or just after a fairly high fat meal. So a lot of people take with stuff like peanut butter, avocado, eggs etc. I think this is supposed to help the absorption of the drug. Make sure you're not taking any supplements with vitamin A in. Don't use topicals on your skin anymore as they will probably burn. Use sunscreen! Depends what exactly you are sensitive to (and what country you are in), but I can think of Cerave, Cetaphil, Eucerin, and First Aid Beauty as some initial options for moisturiser. There is a 'personal accutane logs' section of this website which is quite good for browsing to see other people's tips and experiences. Good luck!

They're known for using thermal water in their products and their whole range has sensitive skin in mind. It can get a bit pricey but I'll pay $$ for quality anyday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
