Very oily out of a sudden

Hi everyone,

My skin used to be dry/combination but recently it became very oily. The only thing I have been doing differently is using retinol on a regular basis for a couple of months now, however, I think the oiliness started earlier. Now I have to use more salicylic acid and even bezoyl peroxide as my pores get clogged quickly. Someone told me it could be due to a broken skin barrier or too many actives and so my skin is trying to compensate for that. I use Vitamin C and azelaic acid in the morning, retinol and salicylic acid (alternating) in the evening. What are your thoughts?

Thank you.
