[Routine Help] Vitamin C or Azelaic Acid for PIE/red acne marks?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I’ve been on tretinoin 0.025% cream for about a month now, and only recently upped to every two days now. I’m nearing the end of the purge which was admittedly not as bad as I expected. Most of the acne that did crop up had little pigmentation after popping.I want to introduce either Vit C or Azelaic Acid to work on past PIE marks which aren’t seeing as much improvement as I want with tret. I don’t want to buy and add both right now since I don’t want to go too overboard with the actives. However, I’m not sure exactly how to introduce either one without irritating my skin too much. Would I put it on before tret, put them on only in the morning, switch off days between tret and the other active, or something else?I’m looking into either Melano CC for the Vit C or the Melazapam for the Azelaic Acid, so I’m interested in hearing other people’s experiences with tret + either of these, like which one showed fastest results, least irritation, etc. But I’m also open to other product recommendations!AM:Rinse face with waterA few light layers of Cerave Daily Moisturizing LotionCotz Senseitive Mineral SunscreenPM:Cerave Hydrating CleanserTretinoin (every two days)BHA - Stridex Pads (once a week, never same day as tret)Light layers of Cerave Daily Moisturing LotionI know I definitely need to up the hydration and moisture lol. I think so far it’s enough to keep my skin calm-ish without breaking out, but I still get a bit oilier throughout the day. Definitely not good long term. I’m planning on buying Hado Labo Gokujyun Premium along with either the Vit C or Azelaic. Also, I have oily skin, and it usually takes months to a year for my PIE to fade. Thank you, and happy holidays to everyone!Edit: sorry about the formatting, on mobile so not sure if its looks weird or not.
