Excessive dryness: Applying an oil free hypoallergenic moisturizer after each cleansing with warm water and Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser can help prevent excessive dryness when using facial medications. Excessive dryness CAN result from multiple topical medications, so apply sparingly at first so your skin can adapt and you can monitor for hypersensitivity.

Yes, but not hot: water washings. Warm water with glycerin soap you can see through, Proactiv, BareMinerals, Skinceuticals are all popular products.You can use a product with retinol, salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide after washing your face twice daily as well.
