Does anyone here use tret and Azelaic acid together at the same time? I’ve been on 0.05% tret (cream) for the last two months and started the AA gel last month on my off tret nights. Last week I told my derm that besides for complexion I’m not seeing results and she told me to try the two together

Adding more here since there was a character limit - I know my skin doesn’t look as bad as it could be and I’m fortunate for that, but I’m 26 years old and started breaking out all over my right cheek a few months ago which was weird to me because I’ve only ever gotten a few small pimples here and there. These red bumps just seem like they want to stay and that’s what I went to the dermatologist for, but I feel like when I use the tret I wake up in the morning with more visible bumps and then with the Azelaic I wake up and they don’t look as visible so I’m starting to feel like one product is canceling out the other and I’m wondering if I even should attempt to use both at the same time
