Bad Skin After Using Clindamycin Solutin, Retonoic Acid And Salycilic Acid Cream With Moisturizer On Face. On Pills. Quick Remedy?

Sure! I am getting married in 1 month, I'm 29 yo... Always had a little acne skin, but nothing major, maybe a few red scars on the cheeks. A few months ago, I decided to get my skin "even better" for the wedding. After using oral antibiotic for a month (did the trick but cannot use them forever), now using 5% BP wash + clindamycin solution + retonoic acic and salycilic acid cream with my normal 15 SPF moisturizer, I'm a MESS!!! Never been this bad. I have also started the pill about 2 weeks ago, I'm trying everything but time is running out and I am screwed if I don't find something that works! Please, help a poor bride to be!

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
I can understand your worry as you are getting married in 1 month, but if your skin is having acne you need to take care as salicylic acid and retinol should not be mixed,retinoic acid is given commonly for night application and Salicylic acid can cause stinging, burning, and skin irritation. You may also experience dryness, peeling, and flaking of the skin.
This is good to use oil free moisturizer.
Please visit a good Dermatologist and take proper prescription of cream and antibiotics like doxycycline then take care of diet and be stress free it will heal in few days.
Hope this information helps you to take proper action.
Good Luck.
Take care.
