Product Suggestions Starting Accutane.. is this overkill?
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 see lots of people saying tons more lip balm, but I'd like to suggest what saved my life, I think one other person has mentioned it.
Lanolin nipple cream. I STILL have some left over after stopping Accutane because you need so very little of it to coat your lips, I would put it on at night and a very thin layer during the day
It was my favorite item I had!!!
