Can I use this gel-balm if I am already using other acne treatments like retinoids or exfoliating acids?

Because this formula contains salicylic acid and tea tree oil, combining it with other potent actives requires caution. If your current routine includes retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, or other chemical exfoliants, applying them simultaneously may increase the risk of dryness, redness, or irritation. The sheep oil and aloe vera in the balm help soften the skin and reduce tightness, but they do not eliminate the cumulative effect of multiple active ingredients. It is advisable to introduce this product slowly, perhaps using it only in the evening or on alternate days, while monitoring your skin's reaction. If you notice increased sensitivity, consider spacing out the application times or consulting a dermatologist to adjust your regimen. Avoid applying this product to the eye area, and if irritation becomes noticeable, reduce the frequency of use or stop application temporarily.
