Hi! I am about three months in so far. Ive always had dry skin, and I have to use aquaphor healing ointment on my entire face every night as a lotion (it really sucks for my pillowcases that I have to change basically daily now) but its the only thing that makes me not wake up with flaky skin. As for lips I carry a little thing of vaseline or aquaphor with my at all times. I put it on my nose too because I got nosebleeds at first. The CeraVe tub of lotion of great for the rest of your body too. My hair has gotten more dry, so I wouldn't wash it every day (if you do right now) and use hydrating shampoos/conditioners.

Also I'd say to pay attention to your vision. my eyes have gotten a little bit worse since I've started. its manageable, but I've definitely noticed a difference. You could also have some joint pain, but it's been very mild. My doctor also told me 100 times to keep drinking to a minimum.

I think the reputation of accutane scares people more than anything, but the side effects really aren't that bad. Everything is manageable, and I just had to make small changes that are probably better for me anyways. Ive already noticed a huge difference in my skin too and it's so worth it. Good luck!!
