Every sunscreen I’ve used gives me more closed comedones. Even the ones for sensitive skin and the ones people say didn’t give them closed comedones. Paula’s choice youth liquid spf broke me out so bad it took weeks to recover. I’m testing out the numbuzin 1 spf but it burns a little so I have low hopes. I really need an spf because I’m on tretinoin and benzoyl peroxide. Does anybody know what can I do because I’m so sick of buying sunscreens and them not being any different from the rest🫩🫩🫩

My routine is:
AM: skin1004 centella extract, Purtio oat calming gel, Yerba matte eye gel, clindamycin and benzoyl peroxide combo gel 1% & 5%. (Monday, Wednesday, Friday)

PM: skin1004 centella extract, Purtio oat calming gel, Yerba matte eye gel, tretinoin 0.025% 4x a week and then moisturizer again over tret.

I wanted to try and lean off of the clindamycin combo because I don’t want to build up bacterial resistance, especially since I’ve been using for almost a year but my skin did not like it when I reduced using it.

in July 2025 I got prescribed clindamycin + benzoyl peroxide 1% & 5% and i started with using it twice a week and built up but i was not aware that your supposed to stop using after 4 months to prevent bacterial resistance and I’ve been using for almost a year. So now I’m starting to reduce my usage from 3 times a week but my closed comedones are starting to come back. I ordered Neutrogena 2.5 benzoyl peroxide gel to try and use that instead of the clindamycin combo. Im also using tretinoin 0.025% about 4x a week. (I recently upped my usage from 3x a week) But I’m so confused on how to incorporate tretinoin, clindamycin combo AND benzoyl peroxide gel into my routine. My end goal is to stop the clindamycin combo and continue with the benzoyl peroxide gel & tretinoin but my skin isn’t doing well off the clindamycin.
