See a dermatologist: Use in any order you like. Usually the Differen at night and the others in AM. Since they are all drying, a moisturizer of your choice is a good idea. If you have significant acne, SPIRONOLACTONE pill is best. Any birth control is a factor. Menstrual activity should be noted.

Start with one med: For full acne treatment, usually more than one medication is needed to treat acne by reducing bacteria, opening pores and changing sebum. I suggest starting with 5% BP once or twice a day, if skin tolerates that, then add either Differin at night or Azclear once a day. If skin becomes too dry, a moisturizer can be used as well.
