Hi ,
Thanks for writing.

You have been given the correct treatment.
Retino AC contains retinoid which can cause dryness and burning.
It is very effective.
You can use acnemoist for 2-3 times a day.
Also you can apply retino ac for 45 minutes and then wash it .
This will help you.
Discuss the option of isotroin with your doctor.
I encourage you to visit a qualified dermatologist for proper advise and treatment.

Hope this helps.

Regards
