I've been using hydroquinone cream for about a year, but over the last four months, I've noticed I'm getting a lot of pimples and my skin is becoming darker. I'm really hoping to get clear, glowing skin. Any tips on how I can achieve this?

I'm currently taking Acutret tablets and I've heard that using any cosmetic cream while on this medication might not be a good idea. Can you tell me why that is or what might happen if I do use some creams?
When taking Acutret (Isotretinoin), it is generally recommended to avoid using any cosmetic creams that contain harsh ingredients, as Isotretinoin can make your skin more sensitive and prone to irritation. It is best to use gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizers and sunscreens. Applying creams with harsh ingredients may lead to increased skin irritation, redness, and peeling. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider or dermatologist for specific recommendations on skincare products while taking Acutret.
