What's interesting is that so far (around a month of 40mg of isotretinoid nightly and now recently starting month two at 60mg - oh btw I'm something like 5'9", 166 lbs to give some context for dosage) the only thing noticeably drying out has been my lips. I have been moisturizing everything well.


Here's what I think I'll end up doing on top of the isotretinoid and you can let me know how this daily routine sounds:
Morning . . .

  • Use a super gentle "renewing" salicylic acid based cleanser in my morning shower.
  • Immediately after getting out of the shower I'll apply this water activated moisturizer that's been phenomenal so far.
  • One of the biggest things I've read for scarring is sun damage. This is especially an issue for these vitamin A based medication(s) if I remember correctly. I also happen to live in Arizona which certainly doesn't help. This should suffice as a broad spectrum sunscreen and the additional moisturizer for before I leave my dorm.

    Throughout the day . . .

  • As I mentioned before, my biggest issue so far has been drying lips so I'll just carry some Blistex with me all day and reapply as needed:)

    Before bed . . .

  • Take 60mg of isotretinoin
  • Again use the CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser.
  • Wait a bit and then apply the retinol. In this link, they warn against letting the tretinoin (Retin-A) interact with salicylic acid (the cleanser I want to use twice daily) and other drugs that may increase your sensitivity to sunlight (does Accutane do this? idk). If my skin does start to get irritated, I'll switch back to just moisturizing at night or something.
  • Right before I get in bed I'll apply some heavier moisturizer (uhm this one is infused with vitamin E which I have read is a no-no when dealing with acne scarring? But see my "scarring" is smooth if that makes a difference. All I'm worried about is the hyperpigmentation which I guess is what the Retin-A (tretinoin) will be for.

    So... that was a lot more of a post than I set out to create. Sorry lol
    But my complexion is playing a very real role in my life and is therefore important to me so I'll end with a single questions for you and anyone else who would be kind enough to chime in and help me out:


    Are there any alterations you would make to my daily routine?

    Perhaps you think there's a better product available than one I've linked to above.
    Maybe you think I should cut something out entirely.


    Thank you for your help!:)
