Is It Advisable To Use Moisturizer On Face While On Sotret Gel?
I have been having serious acne for the past year and recently started using sotret gel prescribed by my doctor. Acne started disappearing but i no longer have smooth skin. I read that dryness is a side effect of sotret and my doctor even prescibed isotretrinion but i am having second thoughts on if or not i should use it. I havent started on the pill mainly because my skin is already too dry and I dont want it to get worse I dont use any moisturizer but use Dr. Somchai Sunblock SPF50, also prescibed by doctor. It protects my skin from sun irritations and burns but it makes it even more dry Is it wise to use any toner or moisturizer on face while on this medication? If so, could you recommend what might work on my face? I used to have extremely oily face
