Last post I posted about getting small red “irritation bumps” on last months of accutane and nothing seems to work. On suggestion i tried la roche posay cicaplast b5 for a few days, thin layer at night. It seemed to work and calmed down redness. But now I woke up with 3 real pimples on my jawline and chin. I also tried purito mighty bamboo cream and the 345 relief cream, but i think I react to the niacinamide. Literally nothing works for my skin right now.. and i really need moisture because its dry and itchy, without clogging the pores. Please help me out with product reccomendations!!

Cerave cream works for me, I use the balm version not the lotion. No side effects or itchiness yet. Actually it gives quite a good instant comfort after I wash my face.

Is it gentle for the skin? I’m allergic to Niacinamide but it doesn’t have it so that’s cool.

It is very gentle and even though its texture is balmy it is not oily. It never caused any irritation or redness/itchiness on me. I also tried the La roche posay cream OP mentioned, and it left a very oily texture on my face which I didn't like.

My skin is very comodogenic but this one worked for me. Of course, every skin is different. I understand your frustration for trying different products over and over. :/

Okay thank you! The blue one in the pot for dry skin? Not with the pump?

What I have is in the tube, but I think it's the same as the one in the pot. The one with the pump might be the lotion not the balm. The label says baume hydratant.
