Is it ok to use burts bees deep pore scrub while on accutane ? i've used an aha/bha exfoliating cleanser before and no irritation!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ok but carefully: Be cautious about exfoliating beyond the stratum corneum. Deeper exfoliation and particularly any that causes bleeding will likely lead to prolonged healing and scars.
