Vitamin C + Azelaic acid vs Tretinoin alone

Which one is better for sensitive skin? I am 14 with dry skin! And i was wondering if I could clear my face with just vitamin c + azelaic acid, I only get around 2-3 pimples at a time and all of my blackheads are on my nose, I also have hyperpigmentation and acne scars. Very annoying. And should i add in salicylic acid to the vit c + aa combo to get rid of black heads? they make my nose look disgusting.

Unfortunately I cant pair aa + tret because i cant even handle tret alone with the sandwich method + my cicaplaust baume b5 for barrier repair (it helps but sunscreen still stings which is a huge sign of barrier damage because I used to never sting to sunscreen , its chemical yes - but again, i used to never sting to it. Im trying to get used to tret doing it 1x per week 0.025% cream pea sized but its still irritating. Any tips??

First time reverse searing!

Sat steak out 40 mins prior
I did 225f 45 minutes oven
seared 90 secs each side on high heat ( i used non stick instead of cast iron so i did 90 secs instead of 60)
- was aiming for medium, how’d I do?

Vitamin c + tret combo or azealic acid + tret?

I am 14, with dry skin

I have hyperpigmentation and some acne scars & was wondering which combo would be better for my skin.
I cannot use all three since itll be too rough.

I just started tretinoin, I am 14 and I want to get rid of the acne on my nose & right under my nose (above my lip) and some other miscellaneous pimples on my face.

I started tretinoin like 5 days ago, and i just put my 2nd dose 2 days ago. I planned on using it 2x a week. Its a 0.025% dose (cream version) for dry skin.

And you guys the burning is NO joke! Why am i burning from MOISTURIZER?? and sunscreen? oh it burns soooo bad.

I relatviely have clear skin, only my nose has acne. And maybe 3-4 pimples around the rest of my face.

My routine is

Morning: Water Rinse

Moisturizer mixsoon bean cream

Chemical sunscreen birch lab 45spf

Night: Gentle cleanser (birch lab)

Moisturizer

Tretinoin nights: Gentle cleanser, wait 10 mins, apply first layer of moisturizer, then wait 10 mins, apply pea sized tret (evenly) , wait 15 mins, apply last layer of moisturizer (thick layer)

And Im genuinely getting pissed off because I really wanted to be able to use tretinoin so if anybody can help PLEASE give tips on what I can do.
