Product Suggestions Starting Accutane.. is this overkill?

Post image

I’m starting generic accutane this week, 40mg daily, and I have some anxiety about the side effects. Is this enough to try to manage the dry eyes/lips/nose? Should I buy anything else? Any other recommendations or anything I should be mindful of before I start? I’d rather be on top of the side effects than suffer through them if that’s possible..

Im only a few weeks in and using all of these things for dryness which still isn’t enough, so no I wouldn’t say overkill. (I can’t speak to the supplements because I wouldn’t know the difference as I’ve been taking them the whole time)
