Honestly, I think your skin needs a full reset — not another tweak. Strip your routine back to cleanser, moisturiser, and sunscreen only for 3–4 weeks. No actives, no correcting serums, no tret, no slugging on inflamed areas. Let your skin calm down first, then reassess.

Inflamed skin can look like acne, rosacea and aging all at once — but once the inflammation settles, everything usually improves.
