I just need some advice
I'm going to start on Accutane (isotretinoin) on Monday, should I be careful about anything?

i started on 20mg monday, wednesday, friday, then went to 20mg daily - i tolerated very well and only saw side effects such as dry skin and dry lips
then i went 40mg and i tolerated a lil bit worse
one really big thing to watch out for is sunbun, you can be out in the sun for like 15 min and get burnt so make sure to use sunscreen often

Daily: Vitamin D + K2 + Omega 3
Take your Accutane with fats, such as 1 tbsp peanut butter
Don't cleanse in the morning, use really any moisturizer + sunscreen
At night use a thicker moisturizer like Lipikar Balm or a body moisturizer on your face
Keep chapstick on you 24/7, make sure to hydrate
