It is normal for there to be some burning sensation when applying moisturizer after using a topical acne medication. This is because the medication can make the skin more sensitive. It is also common for acne to worsen initially when starting a new treatment, as it is part of the medication's mechanism of action. If the products you are using do not show improvement after 8 weeks, it may be a good idea to discuss alternatives with a healthcare professional. Remember to wait about 10-15 minutes after applying the medication before applying moisturizer.
