These products worked perfectly for me throughout both winter and summer. Normally, the skincare products I use in winter are too heavy for my skin during the warmer months, but Accutane left my skin extremely dry year round. Because of that, these p...
This face cream is perfect for the extra dry days, and it is very good as a base before make up too

Before going to bed I used to apply a big amount almost as a mask especially near my eyes and lips and it works wonderful
Aquaphor Healing Ointment® (14oz.)
During accutane, my worst side effect was dry lips and the surrounding area. What it worked for me was to apply this product plus Aquaphor product, mix them and apply them as a mask two times a day. It was a miracle.

For an everyday face cream, my dermatologist gave me this one and I truly recommend as it works very well, without leaving your skin oily. You can use it day and night

My true nightmare during Accutane became the sun. Accutane makes your skin much more sensitive to the sun, so daily SPF became non negotiable for me. My go to was La Roche-Posay sunscreen because it offered reliable protection without feeling heavy o...

A life saver will alwasy be vaseline, I use it as an additional product. It works great either as a lip balm or as a mask around the more dry area. I would put a good amount of vaseline on those area if i was at home or during night time.

FACE MASKS
For face mask I would only do hydrating and nourishing masks. Sheet masks worked best. Centella is one of the top ingredient to have against dryness.

MAKE UP
I struggle so much with make up during this treatment. For the first month I could not put make up at all. Dry products were banned from my routine.
BareMinerals is my go to brand as an acne prone girly. This tinted moisturizer provided lightweight coverage while keeping my skin hydrated and comfortable throughout the day. I loved how natural and radiant it looked, and the added SPF was a great b...
BareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream ...
One thing I learned during Accutane was to switch to cream based makeup products whenever possible. Dry skin and powder products aren't always the best combination, as powders can cling to dry patches and make makeup look cakey.
