Skincare while on Isotretinoin

[4ever]

I'll start with 10mg Isotretinoin next week.

Bbefore that I've been using tret and niacinamide and azelaic acid as active ingredients.

Which actives are now worth it? Matrixyl? Niacinamide? Ghk-cu?

Thanks

Hmm so do you think using active ingredients is even worth it on Isotretinoin?

Maybe something for moisture or skin barrier if anything at all would be better

I don't think topical retinoids make sense if you're already on Isotretinoin...

I just do heavy moistruzing gentle cleanser once a day

Sunscreen

Lipbalm + vaseline

Why such a small dose?

Back to your question tho... you don’t need much, just a moisturizer for dry skin, a lip balm for your lips, and a sunscreen with SPF 50+.
