your pimples disappear but dry out

I myself have quite a troubled skin, so I've been using Clinique's 3 steps anti blemish for a while now. It's nice stuff, it made my pimples a lot less. But there is a downside. The products dry out my house quite a bit, but I really have to keep using the products otherwise I will get breakouts again. So I found a way to still be able to use this 3-step method without drying out my skin. Because before applying the cream, I use a thin layer of the Clinique moisture surge. This way, I can still keep using it.
