Isotretinoin is a common medication for the treatment of acne but it does have some side effects. Most prevalent are dry skin, eyes, nose and lips. Below are some products, recommended by Dr. Buehler to help with those side effects.
The harmful ingredients in many lip balms may prevent cracked lips from healing. This medicated lip treatment contains 1% Hydrocortisone, which interrupts the inflammatory cycle, stops the pain, and allows the natural healing process to begin.
While primarily used to boost metabolism, L-carnitine can be used for effective relief of joint pain.
Omega 3 fish oils are great with reducing triglyceride levels, but it is also helpful in decreasing some side effects from tretinoin usage.
When you need immediate relief for dry, irritated eyes, you need Refresh Plus Preservative-Free Lubricant Eye Drops. Having many of the same healthy qualities as your own natural tears, it instantly moisturizes and soothes. Refresh Plus Preservative-Free comes in single-use vials, is safe to use with contacts, and can be used as often as needed.
