Try trentenoin

ngl drop the salicylic acid or the azelaic acid. they are very similar and using them both might be irritating your skin. i think niacinamide is okay but just make sure ur moisturizer doesnt already have it. it looks like ur skin has small flaking and is irritated. i would stop all the actives and just do a vanicream gentle cleanser, a GOOD moisturizer and spf in the morning. the same gentle cleanser and moisturizer at night and cover ur face with vaseline or aquaphor healing ointment 1/2

ya unless ur 40 ish you don’t need retinol. only salicylic acid or azelic acid, not both at same time. also, only do the salt colic acid at night. can make u more sensitive to the sun. also more effective overnight. if salicylic acid isn’t going much fir you you can always try benzoic acid!

you probably don't need to be using retinol lowkey. it's mostly for mature skin so if you're under 40 you're good without it

2/2 do this for at least week or until your skin barrier heals and THEN introduce 1 active at a time. if ur skin is sensitive i would only use 1 active per day and 3x a week max and rotate them. and once a week just have a day with no actives to give ur skin a break and use healing ointment/vaseline
