Dry Skin

Hi Doctor-

I have noticed that my skin has been drying out.  Even though I am on acne, differin, and clindamycin medication can I use a mosturizer?  IF so, are they any better than others?

Thanks

Joe:

Yes, you can moisturize.  Light moisturizers which don't clog pores include Lubriderm and Lacticare, though there are many others.  They don't have to be expensive.

Best.
