differin/adapalene

right now because of the weather change, i’m experiencing dry skin. i just started using differin to help my breakouts. i put moisturizer on after i washed my face and then waited & put on differin. is it a bad thing to put more moisturizer on top of the differin after it’s been set into my skin? i’m really worried with how dry my skin will get using this + the winter. basically i’m wondering if i can do the sandwich affect or if it will be too much for my skin or make the differin not work as well.
