Solution
How often to use, any particular brands and side affects
azeliac acid u can get up to i think 10 percent over the counter no prescription, with prescription u can get up to 20 youll under go some irritation with all the ones i listed except niacinimide, as its more of an extension and you wont see much change with it on its own apply morning or evening

tretinoin, saying youre starting at 0.025 (lowest per%) you can start every other day nightly, then move onto everyday side effects r : purging, dryness, burning and itching in general, these will only last for about a month maybe, theyll get better and are managable.

brands dont really matter for tretinoin or azeliac acid given theyre prescription grade , however if you have oily skin id recommend a gel formula over a cream for better penetration

sunscreen is a MUST

How strongly do you recommend tret over azelaic and niacinimide? I have kind of sensitive skin and don’t really want to deal with purging

you can combine all of them together bruda, tret and azelaic got my skin looking fresh by themselves, purge is kinda hard to avoid but i started when school ended, so i wouldnt purge during school you can introduce them to your skin like

niacinimde morning and night -> tret (nightly) and niacnimide -> tret nightly niacimide and azeliac morning

also forgot to mention to cut out all actives at night while ur using tret
