Caring For Your Skin After Accutane

Accutane (isotretinoin) is a medication designed to treat severe cystic or stubborn acne. It can cause temporary skin dryness, so here are my recommendations for taking care of your skin post-Accutane. Keep things gentle with your moisturizers and cleansers and be really good about sun protection.

For the first month after #accutane, avoid things like cosmetic procedures, waxing, and exfoliating.

After a month, maintain your results with a low prescription #retinoid like #tretinoin.

Just started accutane in the start of January and boy the dryness is no joke I have extremely severe cystic acne it might not look that severe but it is and this is definitely good to have for when I’m done whenever that is

Don’t you have to wait like 6months - 1 year for surgery? I see there’s a risk for keloid development. Etc.
