Tretinoin and Finacea caused dark red spots over my face, is it okay to apply aloe vera and honey to the affected areas?

Giving5372
I have several small and big red acne (10-14) over my face. using below medicines, 1) Clindamycin/Benzoyl peroxide cream (in morning) 2) 15% Azleaic acid, Finacea (in morning & evening) 3) Tretinoin (0.05%) (in evening) 4) Minocyline tablets (2 times a day). I've been following the above routine for the last 3 weeks but have had no improvement yet. It caused big dark red patches over the spots on my face. So, I started using fresh aloe vera and honey over my face to bring back the skin to normal. Is this ok?
