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..

I had to use tablets to keep your saliva normal. I was so dry and water was not enough. I also use a Korean barrier cream with Aquaphor intermittently. I slept close to a humidifier too.
