I used to struggle with severe acne — as a chronic dermatologist visitor and accutane vet, here are my recs! Accutane was the biggest component of my improvement but here are some other great things 😊 of course this is my unprofessional opinion, con...
Super great for all skin types — basic, real ingredients and gentle! A true staple!!
My cleanser: Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser for Sensitive Skin - Unscented - 8 fl oz
I use this as a retinol! Use sparingly and slowly increase from once a week to every few nights to daily!
My retinol: Differin Acne Retinoid Face and Body Treatment Gel Adapalene 0.1% - 15g
I use this for back or chest acne. Apply in the shower and let it sit for 3 mins or so and rinse :) 🚿
My body acne wash: PanOxyl 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Acne Foaming Wash - 5.5oz
Thick moisturizer: CeraVe Skin Renewing Night Cream Face Moisturizer - 1.7 fl oz
Great for dry accutane lips. However, don’t use on eyelids or other areas if having an eczema flare-up, it can sting and burn but was a holy grail for my lips when on accutane
Accutane lip holy grail: Bag Balm - Skin Moisturizer, 1 Oz
I smear this on my eyelids and anywhere more sensitive or irritated that bag balm may sting
Eczema flare up treatment: Aquaphor Lip Repair Stick for Dry Chapped Lips - 0.17oz
One thing my dermatologist recommended was not to waste money on a fancy facial sunscreen — regular neutrogena spf lotion does the trick!
