About Gentle Acne Routine

Hi there! My name is Sky and I have dry, acne prone, and reactive skin. I live in a dry climate, so I focus on using products with plenty of humectants and moisturizers.

This was largely the routine I used to clear up 80% of my acne from June 2024 - October 2024. I had large, inflammatory, cystic and pustular acne due to retinoid misuse. I used this routine to calm, repair, and clear my skin.

These products are products that I know do not break me out.

I worked up to Azelaic Acid 6-7x a week, but this is how I built up the tolerance: June 2024: 3x a week. July 2024: 3-4x a week. August 2024: 4x a week. September 2024: 5x a week. October 2024: 5-6x a week
