> put on tretinoin hwen it appears
> no my chin is dry as fuck, randomly red
> applying moisturizer for two days straight and STILL red and scaly

i need help. aveeno ultra calming daily moisturizer and even aloe vera are not working . i need industrial strength moisturizer that wont give me acne.

suggestions?
>>
Don't take hot showers, hot water dries skin, for one
Cold or lukewarm.

Keep applying moisturizer multiple (two, three?) times a day, and aloe vera. It might take a little while because accutane dries your skin and makes it prone to irritation, and it sounds like your skin is irritated.

I never had to moisturize but after taking accutane I do after every time I shower. It's worth the clear skin but it changed my skin
>>
I googled "dry red skin" and it suggests your skin has a damaged lipid barrier, tldr it's irritated as fuck

If you clean it with product, e.g soap or cleanser, use a super gentle cleaning product, no bar soap shit I've seen some guys do

Use an alcohol free skin toner if you do that
A vitamin C serum for sensitive skin
Try to use a moisturizer with some kind of oils in it, jojoba oil, Argan oil, whatever.

It might take weeks for the dry spot to heal, use sunscreen too

i only took it for two months and it messed me up, but way worth it. while its easily dried now (as is other parts of my body) its still less attention then i have to pay when i was acne prone, wherein i couldnt ever touch my face or eat pizza without knowing id get bad pimples.

thankfully its hot as fuck so im not drying it out that way. i think its cuz we've had a lot of rain and overcast days lately, very moist. then it got hot and dry and my bodies catching up. thankfully i remembered i had collagen and its smoothed my face so far.

>weeks

this is hell im hosting an orgy this weekend. i think with collagen i might bounce back enough. at worse its just really red but i can dim the lights.

cant use anythign with 'oil' as it gies me acne. even after accutane ill get little white heads.

Hey, OP
I'm 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself, and a balanced diet and a rigorous exercise routine. In the morning, if my face is a little puffy, I'll put on an ice pack while doing my stomach crunches. I can do a thousand now. After I remove the ice pack, I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower, I use a water activated gel cleanser. Then a honey almond body scrub. And on the face, an exfoliating gel scrub. Then apply an herb mint facial mask, which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.
