Sunscreen ☀️
Cleanser 💦
When you're on Accutane, the last thing you need is a cleanser that leaves your skin feeling stripped 😭. This gets my skin clean without that tight, squeaky feeling afterward.
8.0 oz Gentle Facial Cleanser for Sensitive Skin
This is definitely a splurge, but it's one of the best cleansers I've tried ✨. It leaves my skin feeling clean, soft, and balanced without triggering the dryness that comes with Accutane.
Gentle Cleanser
The only cleanser I've used that doesn't break me out or dry my skin out!! For my girls that need a gentle cleanse without ruining their skin barrier!!
Superior Probiotic Purifying Gel Cleanser
If your skin suddenly became sensitive to everything, this is the safest bet. ✨. It feels more like a hydrating skincare step than a cleanser and never leaves my face feeling dry.
13.5 oz Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Face Cleanser for Dry Skin
Moisturizer🧴
When my skin started feeling tight and uncomfortable 24/7, this completely changed the game 🤍. It's rich enough for Accutane dryness but somehow never feels heavy.
13.5 oz Lipikar AP+M Triple Repair Body Moisturizing Cream for Dry Skin - La Roche-Posay
Don't tell me I already know... the price is a scary one. However, this is the only moisturizer I can recommend that will actually give you the moisture you need and won't make you breakout. In my eyes you can't put a price on healthy skin! 💋
Trio Rebalancing Moisture Treatment
This is the moisturizer I recommend to literally everyone starting Accutane 🤍. The ceramides and thick cream texture help keep your skin barrier happy when everything feels dry.
Moisturizing Cream with Pump for Sensitive Skin
This is my "my skin is freaking out" product. Whenever I get irritation, peeling, or extra sensitivity, I put this on and my skin immediately looks and feels calmer.
1.3 oz Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream
The holy grail 🙏🏻 This is what I reach for every single night. I use it as the last step over my moisturizer to lock everything in and wake up with hydrated skin. If you only get one thing from this list, make it this.
1.3 oz Cicaplast Balm B5 Soothing Therapeutic Multi Purpose Cream - La Roche-Posay
Lips 👄
My lips were fighting for their lives on Accutane 😭 and this was the only thing that actually stayed on. I use it on lips, cuticles, dry patches, basically anywhere my skin decides to be dramatic.
7.0 oz Healing Ointment Tube - Aquaphor
Another version of the loved Aquaphor that's simply a must have during these drying times. 🙌🏻
14.0 oz Healing Ointment Jar - Aquaphor
I bought this for my lips even though it's technically not a lip product 😂 and I'd do it again. The formula lasts all night, so I wake up with soft lips instead of immediately reaching for more balm.
Lansinoh Lanolin Nipple Cream for Breastfeeding - 1.41oz
Whether it's your lips, slugging, or adding a thin layer to the driest parts of your body, this is one of the best multipurpose products for my Accutane girlies. 💙
Vaseline Original Petroleum Jelly - 13oz: Moisturizing, Soothing, Hypoallergenic, For Dry Skin
If you're on Accutane, you've probably already heard the legends about this one. When regular lip balms stopped cutting it, this was the only thing that could calm my lips and get them back under control. 💕
Dr Dans Cortibalm 1 Percent Hydrocortisone Lip Balm for Dry Lip Care and Moisturizing Support, 0.14 oz
If you're looking for the best tasting, most moisturized lips you've ever had. Look no further... 👀
Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment (Crème Brûlée)
Extras 👀
If Accutane is making your eyes feel like sandpaper, trust me on these 👀. They keep my eyes comfortable for way longer than basic drops!
Systane Complete Eye Drops - 10ml/2ct
One thing my dermatologist stressed on Accutane was making sure I was taking it with fat for better absorption. These make that super easy, plus you're getting a high-potency dose of omega-3s! ⭐️
Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega 3 Fish Oil Supplement Softgels - 60ct: Certified Gluten-Free, Non-GMO, Dairy-Free
The serum you should always have on standby! Gives you all the oils you need and takes away those you don't! It's your all in one without purchasing 5 different products! 🫶🏼
Mystro Active Balance Serum | Shop Skincare
It's never too early to invest in a good eye cream!! I've been using this one for ages and I look forward to the cooling applicator all day haha!! 🙌🏻
Resveratrol-Lift Depuffing Eye Cream | CAUDALIE®
The key to handling any upcoming breakouts! My favorite patches for really targeting acne and getting down to the surface! ⭐️
Mighty Patch Micropoint for Blemishes Patches - Hero Cosmetics
The only towel I let touch my face after I wash it!! 🙌🏻
Clean Skin Club Clean Towels XL®
This might seem extra, but the cooling mist feels amazing when your skin is feeling hot, irritated, or tight 💦. It's honestly surprising how much I reach for this!!
5.0 oz Thermal Spring Water
I keep this in my bag for quick hydration throughout the day ☁️. A few sprays instantly make my skin feel less dry and irritated without messing up makeup.
5.2 oz Thermal Spring Water for Sensitive Skin
Sunscreen ☀️
The only face sunblock you need! No need to worry about if your skin is actually being protected. There's a reason this is loved by dermatologist everywhere!
EltaMD UV Clear Broad-Spectrum SPF 46
This is the sunscreen that convinced me wearing SPF every single day could actually be done with ease. It gives that healthy, expensive-looking skin glow while secretly doing all the hard work for you! 🙌🏻
UV Clear Tinted Broad Spectrum SPF 46
I have sworn by this for years and can say that there's nothing that gives more protection or a better glow! Even if I'm not in the sun a quick swipe to the cheeks makes my makeup pop so much more! 🌴
Supergoop! Glow Stick SPF 50 Sunscreen and Highlighter
Reapplying sunscreen on Accutane is non-negotiable, but I'm not about to ruin my makeup doing it 😅. This mist goes on invisible and makes touching up throughout the day so much easier.
2.2 oz Super Spritz SPF50 Face Mist - Vacation
