I've been on Retin-A for about 2 weeks now and I'm going through the "purging stage" which is basically when your skin peels alooottt, so I've been applying vitamin E on my face before I go to bed but during the day my face gets flaky with my makeup... any moisturizers/primers that help with dryness? They can't have benzol peroxide or salicylic acid in them.

I was on that about 1 1/2 years ago and it never really helped me lol. The dermatologist told me if it got too dry to just use it every other day.

Thanks for the feedback Paige:) I'm sorry it didn't work out for you though... I've seen some small improvements in my skin so I'm not giving up on it yet! lol

I hear the Embroyoloisse (don't think I spelled that right) skin lotion at sephora is also used as a primer and has great skin benefits. It's also sold here on Beautylish and I've heard that some models will only use this.
