Hello
It’s better to go lotions containing glycolic acid and lactic acid
Though retinoids also help to an extent and it’s been prescribed already
First medicine is episoft cleansing lotion which is meant for cleansing your face
Since like first half of prescription is for your facial acne (acne vulgaris)
Retino A is been prescribed for your KP
Please confirm i you our prescription with your dermatologist so you don’t misunderstand and layer products on wrong surface
