Currently im on accutane, I've been taking 20mg for 1 month. My derm told me i should go 1 more month with 20mg, so im on my second month.
Is this skincare enough while im on accutane or do i have to add something or remove something?

Morning:
I wash my face + Dry it with tissue
Apply SPF 50 sunscreen

Evening:
I cleanse my face with cerave clenaser for acne prone (I cleanse to get rid of sunscreen)
Apply moisturizer
Take 20mg accutane
 
Moisturise then apply sunscreen in the morning.
I'm not a fan of cleansers, just use warm water.
Time of isotretinoin dose is irrelevant, just make sure you ideally have some sort of fat with it since it is a fat-soluble medication.

2 months is also not enough IMHO.
You should micro-dose it beyond that time if your Dermatologist doesn't think you need it after.

I feel like sunscreen moisturizes my face so i dont apply my moisturizer
I use cleanse to get rid of sunscreen that i applied morning, can i get rid of it only using warm water?
also yeah im getting fat through the day

I think i said it wrong, i meant its my second month of treatment.
my derm told me it can go up to 6 - 9 months. MB

Ah, so one more month at 20mg/day but then adjust the dose from there? Yeah that's good, see how you tolerate it, get a random lipids test before you taper up.

Good for you. I don’t really think I have much acne though so maybe 4 months.
Also fuck me I’m not registered with both an dentist or a dermatologist I’m finished

Just make sure you wear your sunscreen and be gentle with the skin it is very fragile on iso.
