i need some help guys

i went to my derm a few days ago and she told me ( due to dryness and peeling skin)

that i should switch from the epiduo gel ( i had been on it for 2 and a bit months ) to the

differen gel.

i think that the differen is drying it even more i had seen a huge improvement in my skin

and had almost no pimples for 1 month on the epiduo and i have been breaking oout in the

differen what should i do ????

try the cream version instead of gel, cream is less drying as the gel probably contains alcohol

differin will break you out because it's purging your skin

if you get inflamed pimples, put on some BP cream (epiduo contains BP too).

I was switched from epido to differin as well due to my skins low tolerance for BP. Differin is literally the same as epiduo without the benzoyl peroxide. Maybe use BP as a spot treatment and differin over the entire face. Dry skin is a major cause of acne too, not just oily skin! If you continue with epiduo your skin would probably eventually breakout and plus dry skin is painful!
