I am on roaccutane. is it safe to use a moisturiser with an spf factor? or should i use a separate moisturiser and then apply sunscreen?

Sounds ok: There should not be a noticeable difference between using a skin moisturizer with the sunscreen already blended into it, versus using a moisturizer separately from a sunscreen. It sounds easier to just use a combination moisturizer sunscreen. If previously allergic to any sunscreens or skin creams, one should carefully check the ingredients before buying such items.
