My face is getting really dry, what product should I use on my face?

Question

I have started accutane because I have large cystic acne on my back. Well, my body is getting dry now, and my face is really starting to get flakey and dried. My dermatologist told me to use a soap like dove (for sensitive skin). I have been using that and am wondering if I should continue to use the dove product or go away and start using something like a facial cleanser or cetaphill. I heard cetaphill is really good for your face. I like to wash my face twice a day also. What do you think?

Answer 4

I have very sensitive skin as well. I think you should continue on using Dove or even Ivory soap. Cetaphil I don't believe is as gentle on your skin as Dove and Ivory. Try not to introduce too many products to your face because it can make things worse. Dove and Ivory (non fragranced) left my skin smooth and moisturized. I hope it helps :)
