I used to use Spectro cleanser twice a day, but I'm trying to ease off the heavy cleanser, so I started using light cleanser in the morningand Spectro at night, but my acne has gotten much worse since. Should I go back to the Spectro twice a day, or keep easing off it. (PS. I'm seeing a dermatologist in a month)

Thank you

Spectro is just a simple cleanser that does nothing for acne, basically like cetaphil right? But you don't spot treat with an acne fighting medication afterwards do you? Because basically a simple cleanser does nothing.

I use benzoyl peroxide 5% as spot treatment and tea tree oil

Tea tree oil made me break out so badly. But do you see it working for you? try BP 2%?

I've been using the tee tree oil and benzoyl for about 1-2 years, the benzoyl works very well for me as spot treatment, and the tee tree oil doesn't really have a noticeable difference, but I've never gone off of it

Then ditch the light cleanser since your acne got worse after using it 🙂
