I have used this moisturising lotion throughout my whole cycle of Accutane and it has never done me wrong. This product was recommended to me as it is an entirely natural, fragrance free lotion that helps with intensive dryness. I would definetly rat...

When I was deep in treatment my skin was so dry and flakey that I felt as though I needed to reapply moisturiser every half hour. This Cicaplast Baume from La Roche Posay instantly cured this problem for me. Trust me when I say this product is one of...

I fear this is an unknown product for way to many people on Accutane. This was the reason my acne didn't leave my face scared and was able to fade from my face so fast. Very similar to the Korean style face masks that lock in all your products undern...

You can't say healthy skin without saying sunscreen. It is mandatory that you use a sunscreen when on Accutane as you are much more sensitive to the sunlight when on this medication. With an SPF 60 sunscreen, I was protected from the sun for the whol...

With such amazing results shown online I had to try out the Even Keel Peel for myself and WOW, this calmed my post acne redness so much. I loved that it wasn't a treatment that needed to be done on the regular, once a week is enough. If you are still...

The hype about this is so real, the only lip balm I will use Accutane or not. The application is smooth and lasts longer then your generic lip balms. I will go to bed with this on and still feel it once I wake up. Bought my first tub when I was on Ac...

Makeup Removers

I often find that makeup removers can have chemicals in it that sting your face if you are suffering from dryness whilst on Accutane, Garnier Micellar Water has never stung my face or left me feeling irritated after taking my makeup off, it's a big y...
