Good Moisturizer to pair with Epiduo

I've been using epiduo for about 3 months now and my skin has been dry ever since. I know that this is normal. It doesnt sting tho since It got used to the burning feeling you'd usually feel on the first use. I wanted to use a moisturizer that will help wit the dryness and sensitivity of my skin. Is there a good moisturizer best use with epiduo? My derma told me not to use any other products besides mild soap and epiduo treatment. But I am bothered with the extreme dryness of my face especially this cold season.

Idk why did your dermatologist told you to not use anything beside cleanser and epiduo ^^’ She/he should know that those treatement can be extremely drying for the skin (which can leads to other skin problems...) Most dermatologist usually recommend to moisturize your skin well!! You can use the “sandwich method” (put a layer of your moisturizer > then a layer of epiduo > then another layer of your moisturizer) or the “blanket method” (use and occlusive cream after epiduo) Ofc using these method will NOT decrease the effectiveness of epiduo :) I used to be on adapalene 0.1% gel, and the moisturizers that helped me with the dryness are below ⬇️💖

Thank you! I had severe acne from overusing different kind of products, I guess that's why she told me to stop using one for a while.

Also! There’s a google doc about tretinoin (another member of Retinoids family 🌝)with a lot of tips, AM and PM routine recommendations, that you could check for more info :) https://docs.google.com/document/u/2/d/e/2PACX-1vRQmcAj-x5A8JIQygtW2Rg89uPsJPR5JLH_dLxLNCW4eazWW4i49bsrF0e2YYx10wx00ctaUnyvHfyD/pub
