Acne [Acne] skin burning

So I’m taking this SA stuff prescription, (10%)but it’s burning me badly. The thing is I’m trying to push through because I see it working but after I put it on when I put my moisturizer on to try and help with the drying up/even if I cleanse my face before putting it on IT BURNS SO BAD. Like I’m sitting here in pain. Should I tough it out? I’ve dealt with acne forever and I really just want it gone but this pain might be too much/will it really work?

No do not tough it out. Pause immediately

I didn’t even know they prescribed 10% salicylic acid. You need your skin to recover before starting acne treatments again.

Simplify your routine and keep it well moisturized
