View allI'm dealing with a skin problem and my doctor prescribed me Accura for 10 days. I'm also trying to get pregnant right now, so I'm not sure if I should be taking these tablets. Could you help me figure out if it's okay to take them, or should I avoid using them while I'm trying to conceive?
Accura tablets contain isotretinoin, a retinoid used to treat severe acne and other skin conditions. However, isotretinoin is known to cause birth defects and should be avoided during pregnancy.

Is there a cream or gel that's good for open pores? I've got quite a few open pores and I'm wondering what I can use to help with them.
There are several over-the-counter creams and gels that can help minimize the appearance of open pores. One option is the "Neutrogena Pore Refining Moisturizer," which contains retinol and beta hydroxy acid to help reduce the size of pores. Another option is the "La Roche-Posay Effaclar Pore-Refining Anti-Aging Serum," which contains glycolic acid and micro-exfoliating lipo-hydroxy acid to tighten pores. You can apply these products once or twice daily, following the instructions on the packaging for best results.
