Usually I use many products. Maybe on accutane only moisturiser and spf are needed? Or not?

i recommend washing face atleast once a day, even on accutane. u can use a gentle cleanser like vanicream

how to cope with acne scars?
Depends on what scars

If u have very deep ones ur cooked unless u do sum sort of treatment

Orhers will fade over time, but the process can be sped up using things such as tretinoin or other topical retinoids

I have PIE, but it will fade in the next couple of months. If its still very noticable after im done with accutane im spamming tret or taz

my scars fortunately aren't deep and one year ago niacinamide, azelaic acid, adapalene+benzoil peroxide had fully faded it in five months. but now I think that maybe it's not a good idea to use anything exept moisturiser and spf because skin will be already dry due to accutane

I think it's not a good idea to use topical retinoids with isotretinoin.

they are flat actually
 
accutane aside, why would you use anything besides SPF and vitamin A either way.

Yes, sound like a good idea
