ACCUTANE SURVIVAL PRODUCTS 🩷 (from a girl who has completed two rounds and survived haha ✨)
15
items These items were a game changer for me during my accutane journey! Stay hydrated!
Â
My saving grace for moisture. This cream is super thick but doesn’t feel too heavy or greasy. Use this and not the lotion!! It helped so much once my skin started to get dry and you can layer it on, especially overnight. I still use this and have sin...
Cetaphil Face & Body Moisturizer 16oz 2 Pack
Â
This locks in moisture and is a game changer for dry or cracked skin. Use it everywhere but especially on your lips. It’s like a less sticky version of Vaseline.
Aquaphor Healing Ointment, 14 Oz Jar
Â
Get like 8 of these and keep them in every bag 😂 The main side effect I had was dry lips and this product saved me. I would reapply every 30 mins or so but never dealt with cracked lips. 10/10.
Aquaphor Lip Repair Ointment, 0.35oz, 2 Pack
Â
Use once a week or when needed. This is kind of like your emergency room lifeline when your skin is burning or so dry it hurts. It’s formulated specifically to heal your skin barrier essentially overnight and feels like a magic potion haha. You can l...
Avène Cicalfate+ Restorative Face Cream
Â
Best cream for dried hands when lotion isn’t enough. If you take accutane during the winter, this will change your life 😂
Avène Cicalfate Hand Cream, 3.3 Oz
Â
Best makeup remover. When your skin is sensitive, it will hurt to use makeup remover that is strong or has additives. This is essentially water but still dissolves makeup easily. :) I still use it. 10/10
Garnier Micellar Water, Hydrating Cleanser 13.5oz 2ct
Â
One of the highest recommended and has moisturizing ingredients. It’s a little expensive but honestly so worth it and SO important to wear everyday because your skin will be SOOO sensitive to the sun! It feels nice on your skin too :)
EltaMD UV Clear Face Sunscreen SPF 46
Â
Tinted if you want a little coverage. Again, DO NOT skip the sunscreen. 💛
EltaMD UV Clear Face Sunscreen SPF 46
Â
I got really dry eyes during the first couple months. These will make your eyes feel so much more hydrated and comfortable.
Systane Ultra Lubricant Eye Drops, Twin Pack
Â
Body sunscreen is a must if you’re outside. My arms were really sensitive so I always carried a bottle around with me to spray before walking outside. This one isn’t greasy :)
Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Body Mist SPF 70, 5oz, 3 Pack
Â
My favorite foundation that is lightweight but has great coverage and a little extra spf. To be honest, wearing makeup during accutane really helped my self esteem to cover up breakouts along the way. And since your body is healing from the inside ou...
Clinique Even Better Liquid Foundation SPF 15
Â
These are a game changer for soothing your skin and getting some extra hydration locked in. You can wear them for hours and they are safe for sensitive skin too. :) And they are cute and pink 🩷
medicube Jelly Gel Mask Salmon DNA PDRN 4ea
Â
I was advised to take these to help avoid purging at the beginning and either I got lucky or this worked. I’m glad I took them just in case it helped :)
Claritin Allergy Medicine 24-Hour Loratadine 100 Tabs
Â
I was advised to take these to avoid extreme dryness and I think it really helped! I only had dry lips and everything else was pretty manageable. :)
Nature Made Fish Oil Omega 3, 2000mg, 250 Softgels
Â
The BEST lip mask on the market. Great if you want a little tint while hydrating :) I like the berry one best.
