Acne prone skin? Here’s a simple routine!

Acne-prone skin? Let’s make your routine SIMPLE.

You probably don’t need 10 different acne products you need a few targeted products that you can actually use consistently.

AM

Gentle cleanser → optional acne treatment → lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer → SPF 30+

PM

Gentle cleanser → retinoid → moisturizer

If you’re actively breaking out, choose ONE acne-fighting ingredient based on what you’re dealing with:

Salicylic acid → clogged pores + blackheads

Benzoyl peroxide → inflamed pimples

Azelaic acid → acne + redness + dark marks

And if you’re prone to post-acne dark marks, daily SPF is non-negotiable.

The biggest mistake I see? Adding everything at once. More products ≠ better skin.

Consistency > complexity. 🤍

Save this for your next skincare reset.
