A Lot of Medicine

Okay, so my derm prescribed to me the following treatment:

3% salicylic acid cleanser in the morning
Followed by application of Duac topical gel

3% salicylic acid cleanser in the evening
Followed by application of Ziana gel

Additionally, I am to take Doxycycline twice daily. I've never taken this much acne medication at once before.

What I really would like is a second opinion-- is it okay to take salicylic acid, Ziana, and Duac simultaneously when they have a reputation for drying out skin? I currently use a 2% salicylic acid twice daily and it keeps my skin slightly red. [My derm knows this, though.]
