over a month ago i was put on tretinion (retin a) to treat my acne. so far so good. my dermatologist then put me on a benzoyl peroxide cream to put on in the mornings-along with the retin a at night that i wash off in the morning. after getting put on the bp my face burns after i put on moisturizer. i normally use a cetaphil oil free one and even before the bp it would burn a little but now it the burn stays all day. whenever my skin gets really dry and gets flakey ill use one from lush that yes has oil in it but idc idc it helps bring moisture back. anyways that one is burning now too. so my question is what moisturizer will stop the burning or is it the moisturizer at all?

your face is really dried out or you have a slight chemical burn. its best to chill off the bp and keep applying moisturizer and aloe.
