Skin related issue
“I used Faceclin (antibiotic acne treatment) continuously for about 2 years. I stopped it and transitioned to a non-antibiotic routine around 2–2.5 months ago. Currently, I use a gentle cleanser, light gel moisturizer, sunscreen in the morning, and at night salicylic acid 2% twice a week with niacinamide on other nights.
Right now, I have no red, inflamed, or painful acne. Acne is largely under control. My main concerns are uneven texture, dullness, tiny whiteheads/comedones, and lack of smoothness compared to when I was on Faceclin. Skin is calm but not smooth yet. I want a long-term plan without antibiotics and guidance on whether to continue, adjust, or add something like a retinoid later.”
So am I doing it right and how much it will take to see results?

Young man...
At 19, let me be candid... NO you are not doing it right.
Yes you are correct in opting for a Vit A treatment pathway like Retinoids but this involves some more medical & personal details together with some blood tests prior to starting and a detailed discussion with your Dermatologist before starting.
Also a clear Pic record before and during treatment for an objective evaluation at regular intervals.
