If that’s the case, than you should add niacinamide syrum, it’ll help ease the inflammation and help reduce the redness on your skin. Bonus by the way, your nose may be bigger than it is supposed to be, because of acne your nose may be affected by lots of inflammation which will make your nose seem bigger, once your acne clears up and the inflammation goes away, your nose is gonna be a little smaller.

No not on your skin, it’s ok to use it on your lips as it makes them more plump, but not on your skin. This is because when you use retinol which is a very strong exfoliation active, covering it in something thick like Vaseline will suffocate that active on your skin which causes more irritation.

Try and get tretinoin prescribed, 0.025% is probably enough for you.
