Skin care on isotretinoin

[IveBeenUpFor3Days]

I have just recently been put on 10mg of isotretinoin every day of the week, which is not a lot and will probably increase in the future. But how should my AM/PM skincare routines look? right now, it's just cleanse and moisturise.

Also did 10mg of isotretinoin every day, You should not use moisturize cause it will take longer for the isotretinoin to work cause the whole point of it is to make your skin dry. I never did cleansing moisturizing while on Iso and it worked wonders

Thank you this helps a lot, so my routine should look like cleansing day and night and then putting on spf in the morning. Sorry im new to skincare.

I believe you should not do anything to your skin except spf while you're on accutane. correct me if i'm wrong though

Well like i said, i didn't use anything cause Moisturizing slows down effect while a cleanser can also do more bad than good. Obv speak with you're Dermatologist but i would swap the Cleanser with an oil based cleanser to get rid of the Spf. Skincare isnt really needed because isotretinoin is already super Powerful. Just a Wait a few months and You will have Clean skin (I ran it for 6 months)
