Best moisturizers? (Read Please!)

I'm starting Accutane in a few days, which is a drug used for acne that really dries out your skin, and I was wondering if anyone know the best skincare products/moisturizers to use while on the medication.

I just started using the first aid beauty moisturizer and I really like it! I use it on top of my epiduo medication at night and I'm the morning.

I use Clinique and it works wonders.

I am on Accutane also and I can say I now have mastered the dryness after trying several products. For lips you NEED to buy Aquaphor Healing Ointment. Putting a ton of it on your lips at night before bed is a must. You wake up with them super moisturized. Throughout the day apply it every once in a while too. For skin I have used several face dry oils. At night I take my makeup off with a cleansing oil (clinique) then I follow with my moisturizing routine. My favorite combo is Caudalie Premier Cru Elixar than followed with the Premier Cru La Creme Riche moisturizer. By using the Elixar first it serves almost as a primer getting your skin ready for the moisturizer. It helps the moisturizer soak into your skin amazingly and will leave you with a glow. For those days your skin feels super dry you should try the Origins Drink Up mask. I sometimes even use the mask for a moisturizer, it soaks in like a regular cream. Anyway the biggest advice I could give to you is to drink tons of water. Good luck! :)

You can also try using a serum before your moisturizer, it soaks in a little deeper ensuring you're getting all of the benefits of both the serum and whatever moisturizer you're using. I like clarigenics serum but there are many great ones out there.

I haven't used accutane but I know cetaphil is super moisturising.
