A member asked:
Is it bad if i use neutrogena aha/bha acid exfoliating cleanser while on accutane ? no irritation has developed
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No but be gentle: Exfoliation is an excellent method of performing removal of excess stratum corneum. However, be cautious and avoid excessive exfoliation to the point of bleeding. Use sun blocks and avoid comedogenic moisturizers.
