   Hi,I have Nivea non oil moisturusing fluid which I put all over my face in the morning after i get out of the shower, I then use Eucerin Moisturiser only on my really dry patches of skin because if I use it all over my face it looks a bit greasy, but thats just me, if your skin is really dry then you could try using it all over your face. I also use the Nivea moisturiser at night aswell.
   For the scarring Bio oil is supposed to be good and i’ve heard that Emu Oil is also good for scarring, dry skin, joint pain etc. If you look it up you will see good reviews on it.

   Hi,
   I have simlar regime to Grace,but I use Simple light hydrating moisturiser all over and simple derma intensive creme on really dry patches. I don’t think Roacc causes scarring, but it can increse the time needed for healing. once your course finishes scars should heal normally, and once your skin is clear you can use something like bio-oil to help the process.

   I had really dry skin while taking roaccutane. Best thing I used was Unguentum cream, you can get a big tube of it for around £5. Its a great moisturizer, trust me your skin will not get dry with this. I also found for any scars, Roc retin-ox multi-correxion day/night cream really evens out your skin tone should you need it, its expensive from chemists but you can grab a really good bargain on ebay

   hello… i have very dry skin on my forehead but my mum brought me simple dermo cream, its really hydrating and lasts on your skin for ages. As for the scarring, i have started to bio-oil which i have heard works really well. but it takes time to work so i cant tell you weather its good or not yet x
