Suggest Treatment For Acne After Using Retinoid Pads

I am using vitamin c every morning, retinoid pads each night and a peel 3 times a week. Miracle worker firming cream for face and eyes as well. Face looked great then I broke out with acne. I used to use salicylic acid everyday. How do I properly fit salicylic into my skincare routine. Don t want to do the wrong thing and mess things up. Thank you.

Hi,

Salicylic Acid in the form of facewash or peel is effective in clearing acne.

So in case if you have acne you can use Salicylic Acid containing facewash twice a day.

Along with it, you can also use Clindamycin and Niacinamide containing gel over the pimples.

Continue using Retinoid pads at night.

You can use aloe vera gel massage as it helps in soothing the skin.

Do ice packs over the pimples. Drink plenty of water and avoid eating too many oily foods.

In case if there is no improvement consult a Skin specialist and get checked.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
