Best post-accutane moisturizer?

I am in my last month on Accutane and while my acne is nearly entirely gone, my makeup wont even stay on my face it's so dry. My usual routine that has held me over for the past 5 months on accutane (snail mucin serum, hydrating cerave cleanser, cerave cream) is just not doing it. 

I need a face moisturizer that will help my poor flaking skin but not break me out or be too heavy. Please no active acids or vitamin C. Preferably something affordable. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

Re: Best post-accutane moisturizer?

@sdubard  Sorry to hear you’re struggling with dry skin.  Have you tried adding a drop of argan oil to your current skincare?  When your skin is dry it is usually due to having broken down your skin barrier and having stripped it of its natural oils.   Argan oil is lightweight and can help both to create an artificial skin barrier and to help your skincare and makeup stick.  You don’t need a lot.  One and maybe two drops should suffice.

Interesting, no I haven't tried that! I'm worried about oils on my face though...will it break me out?

Based on how dry your skin is probably not
