[Skin Concerns] Advice on next step in skincare? clog prone and dry

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Hey all! I've been a lurker of this board for sometime but this is my first post here :) bare with me this might be longSo I was on Accutane about two years ago and that's kept me from breaking out much but I do have dry skin. My previous routine was AM - Splash with water and then apply EltaMD PM PM - DIY Sunflower Seed Oil Cleanser and then apply EltaMD PM and once a week MUAC 25% Mandelic Peel.I get clogs pretty easily so I keep it minimal but I was noticing my skin looked very very dull and felt pretty dry so I decided I needed more moisture. I decided to try the FAB Ultra Repair Cream and keep everything else the same and I love it! I used to think that fatty alcohols (cetyl and cetearyl) broke me out but I've been using it about a month now and my pores have gotten smaller, BUT in the past few days I'm noticing more clogs. This isn't normal for me as if something is going to clog me I'll notice it by the end of the first week if not even sooner. I've also gotten two tiny pimples which is more than normal for me.I also started zinc supplements (for another reason not because of my skin) in the past week could this be the cause?I've ordered a few products to try next because if I don't have a backup plan it gives me anxiety. The first product I ordered was Hylamide SubQ, my plan for this is to switch back to EltaMD PM and use this before the Elta to add more moisture and hope it doesn't break me out. The other thing I ordered is the PC Weekly Resurfacing Treatment (or whatever it's called lol) and I may be able to use this a few times a week and keep using the FAB moisturizer.Which would you guys recommend? Any advice is welcome! Thanks :)
