Is it not possible to use moisturizing creams when using Curacne (a retinoid for acne)?
Good morning, The dermatologist prescribed me the drug cureacne - announcing that my skin would dry out heavily. I have only doubts - because I got information about the absolute ban on moisturizing the skin and using any creams. After more than a week of treatment, my face is visibly dry and sometimes burns. Is it normal to cut off moisturizing so aggressively during this therapy?

In my opinion, on the contrary - during the treatment with retinoids (Curacne) it is necessary to use creams that soothe skin irritations and moisturize to eliminate the side effects of excessive dry skin. Both it is about preparations for the face and the whole body. When using Isotretinoin (the active substance in Curacne), patients are advised to use moisturizing ointments or creams and lip balms from the start of treatment, as isotretinoin can cause dry skin and mouth. In addition, you may need eye drops (moisturizing) and moisturizing and regenerating nasal preparations, The absolute ban applies to the use of DRYING or exfoliating substances. An example of a moisturizing cream for an acne treatment is: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/100779/avene-cleanance-hydra-krem-lagodzacy-krem/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/69734/bioderma-sebium-hydra-krem-nawilzajacy-do-skory-tradzikowej-krem/apteki https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/38674/iwostin-purritin-rehydrin-krem-przywracajacy-nawilzenie-krem/apteki Please consult your doctor again to see if there has been a mistake in the recommendations. https://www.gdziepolek.pl/kategorie/tradzik You can also use teleconsultation via our portal: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja/z-dermatologiem
