I'm wondering if I can use tretinoin every night and then salicylic acid in the morning to help with pimples, scars, and maybe even for anti-aging benefits. Is this a good routine, or should I be concerned about any potential issues with this combination?

I'm dealing with pimples that won't go away, and they're causing this reddish sensation and a bit of burning. I've heard about using RetinoA Tretinoin Cream for this, but I'm not sure if it's really good for these recurring pimples. Is it effective, or could it make the redness and burning worse? What should I expect if I start using it?

Clinsol gel for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks.
