[hunter-]

gonna start accutane soon
people who also took it in the past, what could you advice in order to minimize the possible side effects such as dryness etc ?

get artificial tears and use it minimum like 3x a day since you're gonna get giga raped by dry eyes (might be helpful to also use it a bit for a few weeks after you finish accutane and taper down in frequency before dropping it)
moisturiser becausr of dry skin
and lots of lip balm since your lips are gonna get hit the hardest
nosebleeds can also happen so be prepared for that but not as common as aforementioned

expect a purging phase early on too

I think an important part of accutane is also taking it same time everyday. you should also eat a meal with around 15-20g of fat before or while taking it for better absorption.

you should do the basic bare minimum skincare too (gentle cleanser, moisturiser and lots of sunscreen) and avoid do anything else. after u finish ur accutane give likr 6 months before u do any external treatments like chemical peel, microneedling etc.

okay thanks a lot for everything !
quick question about microneedling, I'm currently using a derma roller like 2x/ week bcs my eyebrows are cooked, should I drop it while I'm on accutane ?

yeah u gotta drop the dermaroller until you're done (which will be a long time) but I'd say the trade off is worth it for perfect skin to slowing down eyebrow growth
