I'm on 30mg of accutane 4 monts my face isn't dry but i should i still moisturise?

Not necessary: Accutane users' facial skin responds differently from patient to patient. Some get very dry skin, others do not. Adding a moisturizer to you facial skin is not necessary if it isn't dry. Using a moisturizing soap, like Dove, may be enough. Take Care!
