u/Trick-Tadpole-6034

I feel like I have tried everything. For reference I have very sensitive skin, I can’t use anything with aloe or with SA. I tried tret 0.025 wich helped but not by much. I stopped because I have cyclic and very product irritated acne around my mouth, Bp breaks me out and makes inflammation worse. I’ve resulted to doing literally nothing, water only. It honestly hasn’t gotten much worse since stopping tret but the texture is much worse. I also tried azaelic acid. The thing is when I stopped everything my acne around my mouth has gotten almost totally better and my post inflammatory marks have faded. I’m tired of tret irritation sun sensitivity and my skin just never felt good on it. What can I do from here? I’m willing to take it slow but what order do I start adding back in to help, or what will help this. The photo that looks better was with azaelic acid and tret but I’m feeling tired of the irritation as well. Is there any middle ground? Or am I entirely approaching this wrong. Any advice helps.

I feel like I have tried everything.I tried tretinoin benzoyl peroxide saktckikic acid and azaelic acid. The photo that is better was tret and azaelic acid. I stopped because the acne in my mouth was really irritated and it went almost totally away after stopping including the hyperpigmentation . Currently I literally just use water, but while other parts of my face dramatically improved my forehead got worse. It’s more textured and more break outs. How do I make this better with a gentler approach while not reirittating the rest of my face. how best can I help it? Am I taking the wrong approach? My skin is combination and very very sensitive SA BP both make things worse.
