People often ask me this question, but in fact moisturizers don't break people out.  Any light moisturizer (like Lubriderm) will do.  The reason you thin they break you out is that you're still getting acne, but that's because the treatment isn't working yet, not because of the moisturizer.  Maybe your dermatologist should consider switching you to a lower concentration of Retin-A, or to a different treatment altogether if your dryness is still tough to handle.

Best.
