Is that really true? too much moisturizer can reduce the
effectiventess of accutane where applied. Why would that be so? not
saying your wrong by the way, just looking for reasons why.
I guess ive been applying moisturizer to often. I put moisturizer all
over my face in hopes that it will help blemishes heal quicker.
Especially on my forhead, which seems to be inflamed much more after
3weeks of accutane. maybe ill try and just let this area dry out.
thanks.

yes according to my derm, quote - 'There will also be a fine, peely rash on
your face. You can correct this by putting on a little moisturizer but
dont overdo it because it may tend to counteract the effect of the
Roaccutane.'

'May' is the key word but im not taking any chances, I want my acne gone
for good.
