Hello!
I have just started my acne treatment with a new dermatologist who prescribed a benzoyl peroxide + clindamycine gel and a prescription retinol after two weeks.
The acne have started to clear up, but I'm left with extremely dry, tight and sensitive skin. The dermatologist said that's to be expected and it should resolve after a few weeks as my skin adjusts. They recommended I steer clear from thick and heavy creams in order not to clog my pores.
I'm kind of scared to start retinol in a few days, so what are your best recommendations to strengthen my skin barrier until then.
I use BoJ serum in the morning and Mixa cream at night. I'm not using any actives at the moment. Is there anything you would add or change?

Help with dry and sensitive skin during acne treatment

I'm looking for something to reduce fine lines and dark circles.

The best under-eye cream?

I'm looking to try new cleansing oils and I've come across the Pyunkang Yul one. It seems like good value for the price, especially considering the size of the bottle. But is it worth it? Is there another cleansing oil you'd recommend?

Pyunkang Yul Deep Cleansing Oil experiences?

If you are extremely dry, I would recommend applying a moisturizer under this because the skin soaks it up rather quickly

Love the texture and finish, it's not greasy and it doesn't leave a film or a white cats. My sentisized skin didn't react to it nor did my eyes sting and I was left with a soothing moisturized feeling after applying 

You have to be quick with it because it dries quite fast, which makes you use more of the product as the result.
I have noticed this actually breaks me out after a few uses

Thicker viscosity which allows for longer feeling of moisture. My skin is currently extremely sensitive and it didn't react. Leaves a nice finish and provides immediate hydration 

The product is simple enough to be hard to mess up, so there are no downsides

Great for hydration between steps and also for refreshment during hot days. One can lasts a long time and it sprays a nice mist

My skin does sometimes sting a little if my barrier is compromised, but it goes away fast and doesn't leave redness or irritation.
The consistency can be a problem, it's too watery to be applied with bare hands without it running down to your arms, and pads soak up a lot of it so you need to use more.

Nothing gets rid of my PIH spots as good as this does! It also helps with my texture, not only on the face, but on my arms where I have KP. It also helps to lighten my underarms.
The texture is watery, there is no smell and my skin doesn't feel tight or dehydrated after using it.
The packaging is big and lasts a long time. I bought mine 6 months ago and I'm not even halfway through, and I use it twice a week on average just for the face.
