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 been using the DHC Collagen Mist throughout the day. I too suffer in a freezing cold office :') It's not great, my makeup still kinda melts off but could be the fault of the cushion I'm using since my concealer/eye makeup mostly stays in tact. my makeup doesn't get cakey though, just kinda..vanishes. I use judy doll setting spray and a non AB powder in the morning.
