This and the scrubbing with a wash cloth are like the worst things you can do to your face at 55.
I would go more simple and gentle. Remove the cleaning balm. AM water only plus moisturize and sunscreen. In the PM if you have to double cleanse use a face oil (not balm), tret, moisturizer. You don't need an exfoliant with tret. Your skin may be doing a mild freak out with exfoliant and tret.
If you go low and slow with tret then you can use it every night/other night and not need anything else treatment wise.
