What if i am having isotretinion 20 mg and applying tretonion .25 at night and applying hexilak silicon gel twice ..am i on the right track of treatme?

Simplify: Skip the tretinoin [gel or cream] at night. Forget the silicon gel which is a waste of money. The dose of isotretinoin is usually more like 80mg because the cure rate is much better at higher dose. Typical course is 5 months.
