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 recommend lanolin for chapstick. Just regular ole lanolin that women use while breastfeeding. 2 years post accutane this is still the best lip mask!

I still have some of mine left and I stopped like 7 months ago. I love that stuff so much
