I use differin (adapalene) cream every night and it really dries my skin out, but i do moisturize my face after applying but it still dries and peels. ?

Excessive dryness: Applying an oil free hypoallergenic moisturizer after each cleansing with warm water and a gentle pH balanced cleanser can help prevent excessive dryness when using facial medications.

Differin (adapalene) 0.1% ?: Which strength are you using? Is it 0.1%? That is the lowest strength. If you are getting side effects you are not happy with consider another product like tretinoin topically, although other meds can have similar side effects
