I'm on Accutane. My doc says my skin looks better than most people on the medication, even though we're having a retarded dry/cold winter. I'm using Vanicream products. No dyes, soaps, formaldehyde, parabins, lanolin, etc... all the stuff that makes me dry and uncomfortable on a regular basis. I use the bar soap (no washcloth, just clean hands) and let my skin dry completely. Then the Light Lotion on dry and flaky spots, wait another 5 -1o min and re-evaluate some of the drier places that need more help. I have the Moisturizing Cream for the rest of me to prevent cracking, bleeding, and "winter itch" especially where clothing rubs... shins, hips, boobage. Just be careful if you use it on your feet overnight and get in the shower the next morning My dermatologist recommended these and I'm sticking with them. It healed up one of the eczema spots on my hand in two days.

Oh, yeah, I'm gorgeous in my dry skin this winter, mmm, mmm, good.
