During treatment with retinoids (e.g. Izotek), the skin is deprived of its natural protective agent - sebum. Dry skin accompanies the entire isotretinoin treatment, it may persist for a short period after the end of treatment. For this reason, it is necessary to regularly use highly moisturizing cosmetics. Traditional creams or lotions from drugstores may not be enough. It is worth reaching for specialized dermocosmetics, intended mainly for sensitive and problematic skin. They are distinguished by a high profile of deprivation of allergic substances and hypoallergenic nature (confirmed by research) – very often they are dedicated to the specific needs of sensitive skin. Thanks to the content of innovative active ingredients, they are the answer to serious skin problems, e.g. acne. The salvation for dry skin will be: delicate body lotions with a soothing and moisturizing effect, e.g.: CeraVe - moisturizing emulsion https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/96983/cerave-nawilzajaca-emulsja-plyn/apteki Cetaphil MD Dermoprotector Moisturizing Lotion https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/16827/cetaphil-md-dermoprotektor-balsam-do-twarzy-i-ciala-balsam/apteki Uriage silky body lotion https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/96906/uriage-jedwabisty-balsam-do-ciala-balsam/apteki Please remember that skin hydration begins already in the shower, and the skin during isotretinoin therapy is very demanding. CeraVe Moisturizing Washing Emulsion https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/96984/cerave-nawilzajaca-emulsja-do-mycia-plyn/apteki Cetaphil EM Micellar emulsion for washing https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/16826/cetaphil-em-emulsja-micelarna-do-mycia-emulsja/apteki Uriage washing oil https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/96897/uriage-olejek-pod-prysznic-plyn/apteki It is worth choosing complementary products from the same brand, which will perfectly complement the action of the second cosmetic.
