Recently moved from 0.05% to 0.1% and skin is worse than ever

Hi all. A couple weeks ago I switched to 0.1% from a year of 0.05%. I don’t get severe dryness but I’ve noticed my skin start to breakout. My dermatologist also prescribed clindamycin phosphate gel 1% for the mornings which I have been doing for the same duration of time as the new tret.

My typical routine is to wash with cerave face wash in the morning, let dry, apply a thin layer of clindamycin phosphate gel 1% as needed, then cerave moisturizer. Then in the evening I wash with cerave face wash, let dry, apply tret 0.1%, then apply cerave moisturizer.

Is there anything glaringly bad in my routine or something I should change?

Edit: I also got a lot of sun exposure at the beach this weekend so I’m not sure if that is playing a role.

Found near Badlands, SD

Sort of resembles a bone structure? Any expert opinions would be much appreciated! (FYI was broken in half when I found it)

Not sure if this is a fossil but it sort of resembles a bone?? Also, it was already broken in half when I discovered. Any expert opinions would be much appreciated!

Mawn reservation swap (2 people)

Hi all. I got a reservation at Mawn for 2 people @ 8 PM on Thursday July 23. We recently found out we can’t go that evening so we wanted to see if anyone by chance had another reservation they would be willing to swap for any other day not during that week.

This is not a scam. We simply cannot make that time and would like to go any other day. Please comment or DM for additional information.
