Accutane is the best acne treatment. It has several possible side effects, but they are nearly all manageable with dermatologist-recommended over-the-counter skin products.
Dry eyes are irritating and often lead to rubbing, which can make things worse. As a dermatologist, I most often see this in people taking Accutane (isotretinoin). The good news is that simple over-the-counter products can usually bring relief.
