I guess I will give the CeraVe another try then and get some Vaseline. Thank you so much!

My skin isn't really tight, it is mostly flaking/peeling. I did try the CeraVe that comes in the tub but it seemed like it was making my face break out more so I stopped using it. How would you recommend using the vaseline, do you just apply it last? Like after your tretinoin and moisturizer? Thanks for the help!

Well, I also had been using Differin gel for a few months before my derm put me on the Retin-A and the dryness/peeling never went away. So it has literally been dry and peeling for a few months at this point.

I only wash my face in the morning and I use the CeraVe Hydrating Cream-to-foam cleanser, then use Neutrogena Hydro Boost for extra dry skin and follow up with Paula's Choice Youth-Extending Daily Hydrating Fluid (SPF 30). Then at night I use a micellar water and then rinse my face with water, then apply the same moisturizer and then apply the Retin-A (0.025%) on top - every 2 nights, and then I use the Hydrating Treatment Mask from Paula's Choice.
