It's normal with starting tret, but you can try two methods if you're brutally dry.

1. Sandwich: Apply moisturiser, then tret, then moisturiser.

2. Short contact therapy: start with putting it on your face for 5 minutes, then wash it off. Increase that time by 5 minutes each time, until your face can tolerate having it on all night (I hope you're only applying it at night). Don't forget a broad spectrum spf 50+ every morning.
