Hi loves! If you’ve ever been on Accutane (isotretinoin), you know how intense it can be on your skin.

This medication seriously reduces oil production and pushes acne out faster, which often means dryness, sensitivity, and irritation. Having gone through Accutane before, I knew this time that keeping my morning routine simple, gentle, and hydrating was non-negotiable. Less is more when your skin barrier is fragile.

1. Facetheory Gentle Serum

In the morning, cleansing should be soft and non-stripping—especially on Accutane. This serum does exactly that. It removes any overnight buildup without leaving my skin feeling tight or squeaky. My face feels clean but still comfortable, which is a win when dryness is already unavoidable.

2. Isntree Hydrating Toner

Hydration comes next, and this step made a huge difference for me. This toner instantly soothes my skin and adds back moisture that Accutane tends to steal. It absorbs quickly and preps my skin perfectly for creams without stinging or irritation.

3. Centella Multi Cream

A rich but calming moisturizer is essential while on Accutane. This cream focuses on barrier repair and soothing, which my skin desperately needed. It helps reduce redness, keeps flakiness under control, and makes my skin feel protected throughout the day.

4. Neogen Dermatology Sunscreen

SPF is not optional—especially on Accutane. This sunscreen is lightweight, gentle, and comfortable enough to wear daily without clogging pores or irritating sensitive skin. Looking back, I wish I had known how crucial sunscreen was during my first round, but better late than never.

Being on Accutane doesn’t mean you need a complicated routine. In fact, your skin will thank you for keeping things minimal. Focus on cleansing gently, layering hydration, protecting your barrier, and never skipping SPF. Simple, consistent care goes a long way while your skin does the hard work of healing!
