This is difficult to answer without pictures. I suggest seeing a cosmetic dermatologist to get you on a long term plan with lasers, microneedling/prp, Cosmelan, peels, facials and skin care. Best, Dr. Emer.

Your regimen is a reasonable one.  Not everyone can tolerate this regimen due to dryness, irritation, etc.  It is ok to follow with a moisturizer at bedtime.  However, if this regimen causes to much dryness or irritation, stop and consult with a dermatologist.

Adding a salicylic cleanser is definitely a great addition to your skin care line. You may need to add an oil free moisturizer to make sure your skin isn’t getting too dry. I recommend following up with an aesthetician to have a facial which will help clean out your pores even more and allow your creams to penetrate better.
