I've been on Accutane for a half a month so far and I made so great progress already. The only problem is the dry skin. I moisturize in the morning and evening but I'm not happy with the product I'm using. It's pic related. It makes my skin too oily and shimmery looking even if I try to apply few of it.
Is there anything that I can get that will just keep my skin from being too overly dry? Just something that makes my skin normal looking. Not too dry not too oily. I have combination skin by the way.
try something like cerave or st ives elastin collagen
I tried using nivea on my face before and it made me break out a lot, these are considered non-comedogenic and they moisturize pretty well
shea butter, light amounts of coconut oil, light amounts of tea tree oil
cant lose bruh
You want to use straight up oils. Lotions and moisturizers only contain a little bit of oil, and I find it's not that effective on their own.
I use Sunday Riley oils in my nightly routine, and it took my dry skin to normal. They are expensive, but in general more expensive oils contain less filler which is a good thing.
I've been on Accutane too and also had problems with dry skin. If the cream you're currently using is really that bad, use pic related. It literally makes wonders with dry skin.
Aquaphor helped me. It's not a lotion more like Vaseline but thick. My skin would just suck up moisture so fast it was crazy but this helped me. Also acne free for 2 years :3
