Cleansing in the morning is optional. You can just splash your face with water and get moving.

This is an inexpensive, lightweight moisturizer that soothes skin without aggravating acne. Use it every night to seal in your treatments and replenish your skin.

The best sunscreen is one you use every day. I like this one because it doesn’t smell like sunscreen and melts in easily, but pick one that works for you. Apply 1/4 teaspoon to your face and neck.

This will melt off makeup and sunscreen so you don’t have to scrub so hard. A micellar water or oil cleanser would be fine too. ALWAYS follow this with the CeraVe cleanser (or another water-based cleanser).

You should use a water-based cleanser like this one every night, even if you don’t cleanse in the morning. You’re removing the grime of the day and letting your treatments sink in.

Salicylic acid (BHA) is a good place to start with breakouts. It’s oil soluble so it can dissolve gunk in your pores. This is a chemical exfoliant.

Don’t use this on the same day as salicylic acid to start. It reduces inflammation, which calms breakouts. If your skin tolerates it, you can use it up to twice a day.
