[Routine help] Can you not wash face in the morning and use actives on top?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I suffered from what might be the worst breakout of my life. I thought I damaged my moisture barrier which maybe I did, so I focused on repairing it. It did make my skin less textured and overall bouncier than my previously parched skin but the acne didn't stop. I woke up with a bunch of acne everyday that kept spreading no matter what. After about 3 weeks of not using any active and repairing my skin barrier, I couldn't deal with so much acne so I started using clindamycin and BP 2.5%. It instantly cleared 70% of my skin and now it has started to feel like before, still a long way to go to reach my previous baby butt skin but it is what it is. Anyway, I have these red marks and post acne red/brown marks which are a cause of concern to me. Because I've only introduced BP to my routine I wanted something that takes care of my hyperpigmentation as well so now I've introduced 10% azelaic acid in the morning( since last 2 days). I live in a very dry country climate and my skin is normal/oily but it's getting way too dry in the winter (I lived in a hot humid country before so never faced dryness). I saw that you can get away with not washing your face in the morning in winters. Is that okay? I wash my face with water and put on azelaic acid on top and then put my moisturizer and sunscreen.Will just rinsing with water remove the germs and bacteria from my face and is it okay to apply azelaic acid on top of it?Here's my routine right now:AM: Wash face Azelaic acid 10% gel (keep on for 30 minutes wash it off) Moisturize(add 3 drops of TO rosehip oil) SunscreenPM Oil cleanse Cetaphil foaming facewash Climdamycin+nicotinamide gel (leave on) BP 2.5% gel(leave on for 1 hour and wash face with water) Moisturizer (add 3 drops of TO rosehip oil)Also, I almost gave up and thought my acne was fungal but BP is working really well on my skin except I still get whiteheads on my chin and some grow into painful pimples. What kind of acne is this? I had pimples on my forehead that are completely gone after using BP but my chin acne/whiteheads keep coming back. Is this fungal acne? I also think I might have seborrheic dermatitis (of the scalp?) Not sure about it, is my chin acne related to that?
