I use aczone its making me to dry.i started using a moisturizer with an spf 35 in it made by neutrogena.it says to use aczone(gel) twice a day i take a shower at night then put on the aczone i let it dry then i put the moisturizer over it.but the next day i have to put it on again when i get up would you just put the aczone(gel) on over the moisturizer that has the aczone under it?im just wondering if putting it on over the top of the moisturizer if it will still do its job?mind you im putting it on before i go to bed then again when i get up or should i wash my face off again and put the aczone(gel)on then put the moisturizer on?im not really sure what to do anyone?

Yeah. The topical should still be effective. Moisturizer will act as a gentle buffer between the medication and your skin. When I first started topicals for acne my derm recommended I apply them over moisturizer first, because I have ezcema, then work my way up to applying them under the moisturizer. She also said applying the product over a moisturizer would help it spread better on drier skin.
