Can be drying: Prescription medications for acne can be quite irritating for some people. It is usually recommended that hypoallergenic cleansers and moisturizers, such as Cetaphil, be used in addition to help minimize dryness.

Tretinoin: Tretinoin cream can dry your skin. Add a lotion to your skin after you treat with tretinoin. Cerave lotion as well as Aveno lotion and Cetaphil lotion are good products.
