Q: Dudu Osun Black soap while on accutane?

Hey, I'm 14 and I'm currently on accutane. I'm almost done my 4th months and will be on my last month next week. I've been using cetaphil gentle skin cleanser and the moisturizer, and recently bought the other cetaphil moisturizer with SPF of 15 to make sure the dark spots on my face don't get darker (im using retisol-A to fade them which have been doing a good job!) But, I heard that African black soap such as dudu osun is great for the skin.. has any one tried it? Or do you think I should just stick with cetaphil at least until my treatment is done?

Btw, If anyone is wondering I've been pretty lucky with accutane. The only side affects I got were drying of lips and skin, and my face looking a bit dull, and my lips look a bit too red/pink for my skin colour( im african ) but I believe that will all go away with time. My skin never got worst before it got better, and it started to clear up the first week with only 40mg, and right now my skin looks amazing, a bit of foundation and you cant even tell! :)

Basically, my only problem is being able to have a completely or close to completely even skin tone. In some areas my face is lighter, and in other areas it's darker. It got lighter over time because of skin lightners I used to fade my spots, theres like patches of lighter areas. Any help please?
