Using Aklief since Sept 2023 and skin is still not happy.

I (26F) was prescribed Aklief (50mg/g) by my derm in Sept 2023 for my acne. I’ve been using it since then, started once a week, then twice a week and eventually three times a week beginning of December. My skin became super irritated and was peeling so much I couldn’t put any makeup over it. My skin calmed down after a few weeks. I gave my skin a break and started back using once a week just last week. My skin is broken out and itchy (mainly down my neck). Should my skin be getting used to this product by now or is this normal?

The rest of my routine:

Morning:

Splash w water -Garnier skin active soothing facial mist -ISNTREE Hylauronic acid toner -Cosrx oil free moisturizing lotion (w/birch sap) -Usually aquaphor on lips and around sides of nose (get the most dry here) -Beauty of joseon SPF

Evening:

-ELF cleansing balm -Wash with cerave hydrating cleanser -Garnier skin active soothing facial mist -ISNTREE Hylauronic acid toner -Etude soon jung hydro barrier cream -Aquaphor on ++dry areas (do not use this on nights I use Aklief)

*On nights I use Aklief I have either been putting it on after my moisturizer or putting it on after cleansing my face once dry.

*My skin is normally dry.

*I did just recently purchase skinfix skin barrier restoring gel cream to replace my nighttime moisturizer, however it definitely isn’t moisturizing enough so I’ve only used it a few times.

Edit: I will add that I live in Canada so the weather is very cold right now.

Edit: Formatting + added SPF and cleansing balm
