If your face feels too dry at the moment then stop using tretinoin gel and apply a moisturizer twice or thrice a day. Use a mild facial cleanser. Your skin will get normalized I sometime. Also consult your dermatologist once as she/he would have started the medications for some indication and hence knows better.

Don't worry it would become normal in 3-4 months time. For the time being use moisturizers regularly.
