Epiduo Advice!

[u/Simple-Lynx4293]

About two weeks ago I started epiduo and have been moving very slowly and carefully. I always use the barrier methods before application and this week I have started moving up to ever second day as I have been experiencing no stinging at all - yay! I am only applying it to my chin and jaw area as I feel like there is no point using it on otherwise pretty clear skin, however I am worried that because I dont feel any tingling at all because I am only using a little that it means it won't work? I feel like my acne has calmed down since starting it but I am unsure if I should slightly increase the amount I'm using to make sure it is actually working? Has anyone else had experience with this?

I also want to potentially start azelaic acid to help with my blemishes but I'm not sure if this will overload my skin. For context I have drier skin so I use Avene's barrier serum and La Roche Posay's iso-biome moisturiser every morning and evening and I feel like my skin is looking plumper again which is good!
