Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us at healthcaremagic

I have gone through your query.

I suggest you to use a gentle cleanser for face wash e.g cetaphil cleansing lotion, twice daily.
Avoid soaps. Soaps can be too drying.

You may use an OTC moisturizing cream during day time e.g Pond's Day Cream with SPF 15 PA ++. It is moisturizing as well protects your skin from harmful effects of sun.

At night, you may use Pond's Night Repair Cream. It contains AHA's and Retinol which are good for skin health.
AHA's help exfoliate dead skin cells and hydrate skin.
Retinol is antiageing.

Regards
Take care
