this is HYDRATING! i use it on my legs because they get the most dry, and this leaves them moisturized forever. its a super thick balm like consistency, not a lotion, but thats why it works so well. a little greasy but i dont mind, and smells AMAZING...
Palmer's Cocoa Butter Daily Skin Therapy Lotion
less thick than the balm in the tub, but the same amazing smell and still super moisturizing! I use this one on my entire body, and then the balm on my legs.

i’ve noticed my eyes getting super dry on accutane, especially as a contacts wearer. these are perfect because they’re little droppers that you can take on-the-go, and they don’t spill even after you open them. i usually get 4-5 uses per dropper.
Oasis TEARS PLUS Preservative-Free Eye Drops, 30 x 0.3ML
especially if you live in a dry climate, a humidifier is such a game changer! i don’t wake up with a dry throat or nose because of it, and i never get nose bleeds either (which is very common for people on accutane because of how dry your nose gets!)...
