Either this one or the Avene Cicalfate. These are widely recognized as the two best barrier repair creams after something like Accutane. Another great barrier cream is the one from Aestura, which is a Korean brand (that one is great for us dry-skin moms with more mature skin).

Another vote for Aquaphor. And lots of Burt’s bees for lips.

I have a sample tube of it from Ulta and tried it last night, might be a winner!

Derm recommended Cicalfate

This moisturizer is top notch. I’m extremely sensitive and dry and this is my holy grail.

My son used Aquaphor and this, https://www.amazon.com/SEPHORA-Collection-Nourishing-Moisturizer-Prebiotics/dp/B0BBSLQ51G
which was recommended by a Sephora staff member who was dealing with acne and it has worked great without making his acne worse. I humidifier at night also helps.

Aquaphor

Aveeno baby daily moisture lotion

First aid beauty ultra repair cream

Vanicream

I add this to Cerave cream. It helps.

^ you can get it at ulta (or Target until ulta leaves Target).

DC is on accutane (6 weeks in). They are using this, and they said it works well.

I use it, too, as I have now dry skin thanks to menopause.
