Differin gel helppp???

I am 17 and have very mild acne, the doctor prescribed me some differin gel (adapalene), i wash my face and apply mosturiser every morning and then apply the gel at night i have been doinf this for a month now. All it seems to be doing is making me break out more & drying my skin out quite a lot, sometimes wen i try to put mosturiser on my face burns especially at the sides of me nose and the cheek area next to my eye. Is this supposed to be happening, do i have to wait longer for the spots to start going? and can anyone recommend a good mosturiser as e45 cream is not working for the dryness.
All you help is appreciated thanks xxx

Hi. Many acne treatments, including Differin, appear to make acne worse in the first month. This is because unseen blemishes are coming to the surface. Continue using it as it is one of the most effective topical treatments.
There are more effective moisturisers than E45, I like La Roche-Posay their cleansers are good too, Lutsine and Eucerin.
