Cleansers

My favorite non-drying, gentle cleansers that also remove makeup

Love this as much as the oil-bases version! This one might be better for slightly more oily skin, or if you are sensitive to oil-based products. Perfect for makeup removal!
Lipikar Wash AP+ Moisturizing Body & Face Wash

Tried and true! Never burns my skin and is great for removing face and eye makeup. Sometimes I use this by itself when I'm feeling lazy. Not pore clogging or stripping!!

This cleanser was a LIFE SAVER while on Accutane! It is completely different than your typical oil-based cleanser: this one foams up and doesn't really need a second cleanse afterwards. Totally non-stripping and also great for a mild body wash!
Lipikar AP+ Cleansing Oil for Face & Body

Moisturizers

Calming, hydrating, glowy moisturizers for day and night

Hear me out: this may look scary to use on your face, especially if you're acne prone. But I have been using this as a facial moisturizer at nighttime for years and it has never failed me!! Such great hydration without feeling greasy and heavy.

This is the single best daily moisturizer I have ever used. It's perfect for anyone with normal/combination skin. So lightweight but feels like a drink of water for your skin! Absolutely no irritation while on Accutane either

I have been loving this! The metal applicator feels amazing on under eyes, and if you're like me and struggle with hollow under eyes, this is a great solution!! It instantly brightens as well

Tried and true, this is what went on my lips every single night during my Accutane dose. You can't go wrong!!
Aquaphor Healing Ointment Advanced Therapy

While this isn't the most glamorous rec, it's probably the most helpful. Any sort of lip cracking from dryness disappears IMMEDIATELY with this stuff. Use sparingly as it is medicated, but this is a hidden gem for anyone on Accutane
