How to use EpiDuo acne cream?

Angelique

My doctor prescribed me epiduo acne cream and my skin has been SO incredibly dry the first few days of using it.

Last night I applied the epiduo gel, let it sit for 10 minutes and then applied moisturiser to help with the dryness but then my skin was on fire!! I feel like I am using the gel wrong for my skin to be burning that severely when putting moisturiser on. It was the same burning feeling with my cleanser too!

Should I do my skin care first, let that sink in and then apply the gel?

Or should I just ditch using any moisturiser and let my skin stay dry?
