How to get rid of flaky facial skin?

My skin is SO dry, and its really flaky. I'm taking Accutane, which is a powerful drug to treat/cure acne and drys out of my skin super badly, so i know that that's causing the dryness. But i was wondering if there's any way i can make the dryness go down. I moisturize the heck out of my skin but its still bad, and i know its going to get worse because i've only been on Accutane for 2 weeks, and its a 6 month cycle (If any of you have tried Accutane, or is on it, you should know exactly what im talking about.) I'm using a pretty good moisturizer too, i even bought one that is for major dryness and it makes my skin oily at first but then it all soaks in over night. I exfoliate my skin, but its like never ending dryness and flakes. Any ideas on how i can get rid of this stuff?? Or if any of your tried Accutane, what did you do to deal with all the side affects? What worked really good for you? Thank you so much! (:

oh my gosh, my friend waz in the same situation! she used every kind of moisturizer out there, like cetaphil and aveeno and neutrogena and olay and all other kinds. yeah, people on accutane get BAD dryness. my friends stopped bc nothing helped with the flaking. im sorry. maybe try extra virgin olive oil? it wont clog ur pores, trust me. it will hydrate.
