Is there any foods I should and shouldn't be eating?

Or any product I shouldn't be using? 😩

Today is my 4th day and my face is peeling and it kinda hurts and itches!!

    ive been on accutane for a few months, drawing to the end of my course, i understand what your going through! i was exactly the same, im on the highest dose so my side effects are pretty bad, i found when my face was peeling and dry and itchy  at the begining cetaphill mosituriser was best as it was very moisturising smile but now as im near the end the side effects are dying down, and dryness isnt a huge issue but in the shower i use a special body milk specially designed for dry skin the brand is 'lacura' it helps a lot i find smile you can go to the doctors and get prescription for dry skin? doublebase cream is what they usually supply which also very good. i also bought aqeuous cream i use it as a cleanser after i take makeup off and it smoothens skin very nicley. but dont worry the dryness dies down, i know how horrible it is. your face is peeling because this drug is so nasty so dont worry its normal, i know its not pleasant but its well worth the wait i promise smile
