A member asked:
Is it ok to use a 10% glycolic acid lotion on face while on accutane ? my skin handles the lotion well with no side effects
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure but ...: Most people would find the glycolic acid to be burning and causing peeling and irritation. I wonder if you are on too low of a dose of accutane? Next office visit tell your doctor you want to crank it up! you need to be on 1 mg per kilogram per day!
