A member asked:
What to do if my skin is extremely dry from prescription acne medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dryness with meds: Applying an oil free hypoallergenic moisturizer after each cleansing and medication application can help prevent excessive dryness when using facial medications. Some people find that they need to start using medications slowly (skipping days) in the beginning while your skin is adapting to the formulation.
