What's the full list of topical soaps, creams, moisturizers, ingredients that I should avoid post Rhinoplasty and for how long?

Asked By:happyhealthy09 in Denver, CO

I have fairly bad acne & I have several topicals I use like benzoyl peroxide and Differin (a powerful retinoid). In addition to this I have powerful acne washes and antioxidant moisturizers I use that have aloe and green tea extract in it. I'd like to know if there is a full list of precautions for things that can be used on your face and the nose in particular after rhinoplasty. What is going to be harmful to the healing process? Will anything compromise my results? Prolong swelling? Thanks
