If a client’s skin is becoming too dry from Acne Med, what is the recommended action?

Applying a moisturizer over the top of Acne Med is the recommended action when a client’s skin becomes too dry. This approach addresses the dryness without compromising the effectiveness of the acne treatment. Moisturizers can help to maintain the skin's barrier function and provide essential hydration, which is especially important when using acne medications that often come with drying side effects.

In contrast, stopping the use of Acne Med altogether could lead to a resurgence of acne, negating the benefits of the treatment. Increasing the dosage may exacerbate the dryness, making the issue worse rather than providing relief. Reducing the frequency of application may not provide enough time for effective treatment, potentially leading to inadequate management of the acne condition. Therefore, applying a moisturizer is a balanced solution that allows the client to continue their acne treatment while managing skin dryness.
