I have visited 2 dermatologists, one prescriped me Epiduo to be used every other night, while the other prescriped me Isotrex to be used every other night aswell.My acne is mainly whiteheads and closed comedones (rarely any inflammation),

I have some acne scarring, which i wish to adress with my topical regimen. I have read that isotrex would be most efficient for this purpose.

Do you think alternativing the use of the products, so i use Isotrex monday, wednesday, Friday and sunday while using epiduo Tuesday, thursday and saturday, would be a efficient way to both products?

Or would you recommend i only use one?

Personally I wouldn't alternate, just pick one and give it a few weeks minimum before considering swapping to the other if you really don't think there's been any change.
