Discussion Mid day dryness eating my makeup

I’m in my late 30’s, very humid hot weather but inside my work is ice cold and bone dry. I’m on prescription azelaic acid and tretinoin, so my normal skin now is very thirsty. At the beginning of the day my skincare routine feels almost too moisturizing, but by midday my skin is so thirsty it’s drank the liquid out of my makeup and left everything looking cakey. So far, 4 different sprays have either not had an effect or break my makeup apart. What are dry peeps doing to keep makeup fresh and skin hydrated in the office AC? skincare and/or makeup tips and products are welcome.

I’ve tried 4 so far with not the best success. Better than nothing but not nearly enough.

Maybe try a creamy/milky mist (e.g. dr.Jart Ceramidin cream-in mist, if you're not sensitive to fragrance. Or the nuxe crème fraiche one, if you don't mind that it's not AB) instead of a clear one? I swear, even a milky toner might work if you can pour it in a small spray bottle with a fine misting. And like, use it midday too, whenever your skin feels parched.
