Hi Prerana,

Thanks for writing in.
The Isotretinoin and saslic DS along with winter season is making your skin go dry.


You can stop using saslic ds till winter is over. You can use other face wash like AHAGLOW face wash.
Venusia is a good moisturizer you can use it daily.
Also acnemoist cream is a good option for the moisturizer.It is specially formulated for acne prone skin.Has good moisturizing and hydrating properties.

Please consult a good dermatologist for proper examination and prescription medications.

Hope this helps.
Regards
