My biggest concerns with my skin are anti-aging (37F) and pore congestion.

I cannot figure out a way to use salicylic acid and tret together that doesn’t make my skin angry. The tret alone doesn’t seem to help my pore congestion. And I’ve trying glycolic acid and I don’t ever see a difference with it.

My son’s sitter is in her 60s and doesn’t have a wrinkle on her face and she swears it’s from using tret! But my sebaceous fillaments are soooo visible that I try to incorporate SA. But once I start using the two at the same time I get really bad nodules, which never happens any other time.

Any advice on how to best tackle these two skin concerns?
