anyone here on accutane which knows of a moisturizer that can be handled by the very sensitive skin that this drug can cause during treatment? There has to be something out there that my skin can handle.

Hey dude ;) I'm not on accutane but i have very dry and sensitive skin and emu-oil works good for me, the bottles im buying are 100% natural and doesnt irritate my skin like many, many other products does. I can even use the oil right after an IPL treatment when my skin is ultra sensitive.

Aquous cream works the best for me (buy the cream in the tub, not in the tube - the tube has extra ingredients in it which my skin can't handle). I also use Dr Haushka's Rose Day cream (after someone recommended it on this forum) and find it soothing.

As unappealing as it sounds, a light layer of vaseline (jelly not lotion) over dampened skin before bed does the trick for my parched skin.
