I recently had an eczema flare up all over my face and used triamcinolone prescribed by my urgent care. But my skin was really clear and all I wanted to do left was get a good retinol. After a week I went to my derm and he told me that’s not meant for your face and eventually prescribed me tretinoin 0.025 because I have acne scars from my years of bad acne. It’s finally clear now but I went back to my routine of in the AM 1. Vanicream cleanser 2. Sunscreen and PM 1. Vanicream cleanser 2. Tretinoin 3. Vanicream moisturizer But I noticed my skin was super red again only at night when putting vanicream. I’m not sure if I’m allergic to an ingredient in the moisturizer, but before my flare up I had been using it normally for a week. I just got cerave healing ointment to help the redness calm down and it has but now I’m not sure what moisturizer to get as I use tretinoin again. Any suggestions for my skin care routine? I have acne prone skin and am more on the dry side and cannottttt have clogged pores anymore
