[Skin concerns] what’s worse- clear but DRY skin or acne-present HYDRATED skin??

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Does anyone else struggle between wanting to continue to use topical acne meds (tret) & having clear skin but it just makes ur skin so dang red and dry (especially around the mouth) & makes it harder to even use concealer or powder to cover up the red, oil, or random spots??? When I wasn’t on tret my acne was obviously worse, but my skin was more hydrated, accepted makeup better, and I just wasn’t constantly worrying about having a crusty mouth all the time. Like seriously I have found myself revolving my life around making sure the skin around my mouth doesn’t peel in public cause it makes me feel incredibly insecure (i.e., choosing foods at restaurants that don’t require me to open my mouth super wide to eat, always having to keep a bottle of face lotion with me, not giving my significant other affection if I have somewhere to go afterwards, etc.) What are ur guys’ thoughts or advice!! For background: I use a hydrating cerave cleanser morning/night with cosrx snail essence for my skin barrier (night only), the ordinary azelaic acid (morning only), cerave PM lotion, and lather my face in aquaphor every night. Only use 0.05% tret once every 3 days.
