Brief Answer:
moisturiser cream rather than oil
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Welcome to healthcaremagic. I
have read your query and understood your concern.
Your dermatologist has correctly prescribed you the medications which you can start using for good skin.
If your skin is excessively dry, you may use any good moisturiser containing vit E and aloe vera after washing face. Else if you wanna use oil, you may use vit e oil. But I usually dont advice my patients to put oily preparations on face to avoid pimple formation and stickiness.
Take plenty of water and green leafy vegetables along with fresh fruits in diet
I hope it helps. If you have any further query you may ask me.
Stay healthy.

Earlier my skin used be a little on the oiler side ,but now it has become completely dry and gets darker with lack of moisture .please do suggest a good face wash because I used biotique and my face dried up and started burning and then I started using olive oil at night and washed it off with soap , what little oil was left made it better.i have finally settled for rexona soap after using a lot of different ones.thanks doctor :-)
