Possibly ... but : Not on your own.... Call your dermatologist to discuss options and to understand side effects associated with increase doses.

Im using erylik (tretinoin&erythromycin) topical gel. My acne is healing but my skin is getting flaky/dry. Healed spots are still red circles but with no bumps/scars. Should I exfoliate and apply moisturiser? If so in what order should I apply them?
