starting epiduo (adapalene/BP), what to do

Hello everyone! ~ Any advice and previous experience with epiduo (adaplene and benzoyl peroxide) or something similar is welcome ~ I've been prescribed with Epiduo for my breakouts. I'm unsure but lately I've been getting breakouts either close to my chin, or my cheeks and forehead that are bigger than a normal pimple, deep (feeling like a rock underneath) and painful to touch. I know to use it in the evenings, on dry skin with a thin layer and followup with a moisturizer afterwards. But I also want to limit the negative side effects as much as possible as I have a horrible picking habit which can make things worse. Is it okay to use a hydrating serum and toner after applying epiduo (and before my moisturizer and sleeping facial mask)? How much time should I wait after I apply epiduo? Anything other advice to limit irritation, peeling and pain? Any insight is greatly appreciated ❤❤ These are the products I currently use in my evening routine.

I've tried the epiduo dube (adapalene+bpo). What I know that you should use epiduo in the last of your routine. If you want to limit the negative side effects, I'd like to suggest you applying hydrating serum --> moist ---> epiduo ---> wait for 30 mins ---> moist
