Peeling skin

I’ve been on acne medication for 3 or 4 months and since then I’ve noticed my skin is looking flaky and dry in my T-Zone.

I use the cerave face wash and the lotion in their jar container. The lotion is pretty thick and hydrating but my skin still looks dry and I’ve been using this combo long before the acne medication.

Do I need a more hydrating lotion? Do I need to exfoliate more?
