My acne and skin heating wont go away..

[paperprp]

I'll get straight to the point.
My skin heats up and gets red in the mornings after I cleanse and apply sunscreen. I don't use moisturizer because it breaks me out. During the daytime, around 11 AM–3 PM, my skin is usually heated.
For skincare, I've been using cleanser and sunscreen in the mornings, and at night I just cleanse and use tretinoin. I've been using tret for a few weeks, but I took a one-week gap so I don't mess my skin up. On alternate days, I just cleanse and apply clindamycin if necessary.
And mind you, I've had this skin heating and flushing problem for years.

Accutane is the answer, stop coping.

Your skin is suffering from a compromised barrier and irritant contact dermatitis that is worsend by chemical sunscreens and potent actives like tretinoin and clindamycin.

Without moisturizer to rebuild the skin's lipid barrier these products are directly penetrating and causing chronic flushing, inflammation, and heat sensitivity.

I guess so, will I need to use moisturizer too as it breaks me out or just sunscreen and cleanser is fine?

have you tried gel moustuizers?

the reason your skin is probably so red is because your cleansing twice a day AND using harsh retinols AND not moisturizing

Gel moisturizers usually work fine, but during midday my skin produces a heck ton of oil, and on top of the moisturizer, it feels like it clogs my skin.
I think I won't cleanse twice a day and will try using a moisturizer. I don't want to hop on accutane just yet since I've only been using tret for about 2 weeks. I'll give it a go for a month.
