Starting Epiduo Forte!

I am starting epiduo forte for the first time. I have pretty oily skin so I have never had to really focus on drying or flaking. I have done my research and know that this topical cream could cause my skin to become dry. I am wondering if any one has any good suggestions for moisturizers that could help with the side effects that come from using this cream? 

 

Thank you in advance! 

Re: Starting Epiduo Forte!

@Luriegas You may not get super dried out. Some usage tips: wait awhile after cleansing and before moisturizer to apply to dry skin, damp skin allows products to reach the inner skin layers fast and irritation is more likely  to occur. Use a pea size amount. Ease into usage, not every night, let the skin adjust. Apply moisturizer after its dry.

 

I've used Epiduo's ingredients before, currently using Differin haven't been dried out nor flakey- oily/combo skin. Moisturizer, I just use basic, non active ingredients- Clinique and Neutrogena oil free moisture.

 

Yours also has benzoyl peroxide in it, BP can discolor. White towels are fine. Also spf daily, sun sensitivity possible.
