Help with dry and sensitive skin during acne treatment

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?

Expired Skin1004 Centella Ampoule

Has been open for a year and now has a slightest tinge of yellow to it. I'm still using it. No reactions to it so far but not sure if it's still effective or not. Should I just throw it away? I'd hate to waste it.
