i have mild acne rosacea (im 28) and was put on Treclin 1%/0.025% w/w gel, clindamycin 10 mg/g and tretinoin 0.25mg/g gel by my derma. Prior to this i was using the la roche posay redermic R cream mild drug store retinol which i tolerated well. I wanted to try the prescription strength to fade marks/rough skin texture. i dont have acne spots. a week in and im dry, flakey around eyes and mouth and a bit painful. will this go away as i tolerate it? also should i moisturise bf or after applying ?
