A member asked:

I'm on accutane, at night i use cetaphill moisturizing cream which is great but what can i use during the day with spf with noo irratation?

Sunscreen: Several brands of moisturizing sunscreen are available; you may have to try a few before you find the one that's best for you. If the dryness/irritation persist, you might want to ask your doctor about the possibility of decreasing your dosage of accutane.
