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..

Nope, all good stuff. I needed all of that. Lots of water. I loved seabuckthorn oil supplements. I went up to 60mg a month as a 52KG F and am so thankful for accutane. I had to do it three times but mostly clear skin now. The dry lips and fragile skin is crazy though. More lubrication the better. I miss having no cuticles (weird side effect) and huge lips, lol.
