Finished accutane 3 weeks ago. going south usa. how can i stop the sun making acne scats worse. won't sunscreen cause acne? and does 4% glyco acid work

No and yes: First you are very sensitive to UV exposure now and should be using a daily physical block your doctor should be able to recommend one. They are non comedogenic so a quality produce will not cause acne. Second a 4% glycolic wash would be a nice daily or every few days wash and exfoliator but again speak to your doctor you are also very sensitive to peels and acids for at least the next 6 months
