Products I Used on Accutane

Hey Hey Hey! Now that my Accutane journey is over, I thought it'd be pretty helpful to others to know what worked out for me and what didn't!

Cleanser/Exfoliant: 


                                                  I used this because my brother was trying it out.
I love it in the morning to give your skin that
nice wakening burst of freshness and it really
does a nice job of exfoliating. However, I
wouldn't use this if you still have acne and on Accutane!
Any harsh exfoliant will make skin irritated and red!
I used this with little to no acne and twice a week.






This is my baby! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE& RECOMMEND THIS TO EVERYBODY! It's a daily exfoliating cleanser, so the beads are smaller and less harsh on the skin. It smells good and I feel better knowing it will do no damage to my skin if I use it on a day to day basis.







I love the Simple brand because it is very skin friendly and has a lot of benefits for your skin in it. There's no complicated things goin' on.. it's just simple! I have been using this for the past couple of months and I love it. Only need a small amount and you're good to go!







Not really a cleanser.. but since I am on a Simple parade here.. might as well show you what I used to take off my makeup and this is it!







Toner:
I've had this toner since before my acne got really severe. So it's been a long time, but since I've re-discovered it, it has become part of my daily routine. Although it has Salicylic Acid in it and say it helps fights breakouts I still find it helpful for if a little breakout does occur.











It may come as a shock to you all..but I have not tried the Simple toner.. I know right? But I really want to.. has anybody tried and liked it? LMK :)









Moisturizer: ( I used 2 every day and night just to ensure I would not get dried skin)

 This was my holy grail on Accutane! Such a great semi-thick moisturizer! Definitely try this moisturizer before any other one if you can find.               
     


 I started using this during my 5th/6th month & I still love it! It is part of my daily routine now and I will be continuing to use it.
I would use this on days that I didn't wear makeup but still went outside since it has SPF 15 in it.
                     
I tried this one during the middle of my process and I don't think it did much for me at the time. It might have done a little lightening up of the scars, but I would want to try this product again. It help to give you an even skin tone. 


Lip Care:
                                                                       
This chapstick, although very basic, is what helped
my lips stay moisturized. I used a combo of this and this->   multi-purpose and will last a long time!

these 2 were kind of flops for me because they tasted horrible (I didn't eat it.. you know what I mean lol) and they didn't work for me all too well. Actually nothing really worked because to this day my lips are till chapped but the first 2 ^^ were more manageable and left my lips soft.
