Guest guest Posted July 21, 2002 Report Share Posted July 21, 2002 I have dry skin but also have mild/moderate acne in addition to rosacea. I'm wondering if anyone w/ dry skin to begin with has taken accutane and how that affected you. It is my understanding that accutane stops the production of oil or something like that, but my face is already really dry. Any thoughts on this?
