Hey guys,

I just recently started Benzaclin for my acne issues, and it was pretty effective in clearing my face .... however, its effectiveness was at the expense of moisture. My face is so entirely dried out right now that its flaking, tight, and highly uncomfortable (and embarrassing). I usually use Neutrogena oil-free moisturizer on a daily basis, but that seems to not be helping much in terms of the flakiness and extreme dryness. Does anyone have any suggestions? I would GREATLY appreciate them.

Also, I've been reading a lot about jojoba oil and aloe vera - I have both for other issues (hair-related), but have never thought about putting these on my face (in fear of breaking out again). Does it work?

Really, I just want any form of relief from this intense dryness that won't bring back the breakouts - PLEASE HELP!

Thanks so much. :)
