The Tretinoin increases the turnover of the epithelium and helps removal of blackheads in Acne and also to prevent furthur epidodes. Benzoyl peroxide has antiseptic and bleaching effect on the face. Sunscreen is necessary to prevent UV damage to the skin especially acne prone skin to prevent comedones. Use what the Doctor has given as advised. You should find considerable improvement.
