alisonjs122 0 Posted May 27, 2006 Hi everyone, I just started low dose accutane and am experiencing an initial breakout. The pimples are small, and my skin is dry overall so I'm looking for the gentlest possible treatment. I was thinking Neutrogena's Rapid Clear Lotion- has anyone used this to help clear out clogged pores? Also, if you have any other suggesstions, please feel free to post them. Thanks!

jordan90 0 Posted May 27, 2006 Just use a lotion reccommended within the regimen to clear it up. Accutane does its job, you just have to wait out the IB. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
accesskb 0 Posted May 28, 2006 Like I said in another post, I think the key to avoiding initial breakouts is to drink plenty of water, washing well (exfoliate dead skin) and moisturizing at night. I drink atleast 12 glasses of water a day and noticed that when I don't (only 6 glasses of water a day), my skin gets really red and I have breakouts.

nathanwj 0 Posted May 28, 2006 wear a bag over your head... the way i look at it, my acne couldnt have gotten much worse... so, just think of it as normal... it probably is, you just think you shouldnt be having it b/c of accutane... just think... in 4 months, you will not be worrying about that, but whether you took too many ibuprofens for your joints! no really, it is nothing to worry about. just wash your face normally, and whatever you do, dont use clearasil... it makes it worse...... alot!!! -nathanwj Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
