On Epiduo: Best Facial Cleanser and Moisturizer to use.

I've been on Epiduo Forte for about a year now. I use it at night with a basic Ivory soap to wash my face as my derma instructed it. Now I am using Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser in the morning to reduce the dryness of my face but I think I also need to use a moisturizer to further ease the dryness and irritation I experience. Cetaphil works fine, it doesnt irritate my skin, it's just that it feels like it isn't enough to keep my face hydrated due to epiduo. Do you have any recommendations?

ive used epiduo for 8 months and just started on epiduo forte for a month. cleansers dont really hydrate in my experience. i depend on toners and serums for hydration. i also use a thicker moisturiser. i like using curel moisture cream when my skin gets flakey. its formulated for the body but i found no issues in it when used on my face. i have combo (leaning dry) skin though. on days when my skin is not as flakey, i like using aestura atobarrier 365 cream and isntree yam cream.

Vanicream is a fantastic brand! I've been in love with their cleansers and creams , ever since my dermatologist recommended that I add it to my routine. I use the Vanicream Z-bar in the a.m. and the moisturizer at night.
