I am using Stieva-A 0.025% to treat my acne but it is making my skin extremely dry. Which moisturizer should I use?

For treating dry skin caused by acne medication, it is important to use a moisturizer that is fragrance-free, alcohol-free, and non-comedogenic. Look for creams with ceramides, as they are very hydrating and light on the skin. Additionally, consider switching to a hydrating face cleanser and limit washing your face to 1-2 times a day. Use a lip balm to keep your lips moisturized and protect your skin from the cold weather and sun with appropriate products.
