Oily Skin Guide (Skinstore Products 25% off with code CHARLOTTE)
Broken into steps, this is a choose your own adventure, I.e. 3-4 step process, by no means buy all of these products :)
Step 1: OPTIONAL IF YOU WEAR MAKEUP: GLOW RECIPE | Papaya Sorbet Enzyme Cleansing Balm NOT FOR ACNE PRONE BBS
SHOP NOWIf you wear makeup, use this before your foaming cleanser. This is a gentle exfoliant so if you use this + another exfoliating cleanser just skip treatments to start and see how your skin likes it for the first 4-8 weeks.
Don't use this + a dedicated salicylic acid serum or toner to start, I .e. pick one and stick with for a few months but this one is solid!
Don't need to use this + a dedicated salicylic acid to start, pick one (I .e. why use this + the Paula's choice cleanser? maybe once you get used to it!)
Not all cleansers need an exfoliant, this is another option!
You DONT need an exfoliating cleanser, really like this one if you want to use a treatment salicylic acid
STEP 2 OPTION: PAULA'S CHOICE | Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant *USE CODE CHARLOTTE15 FOR DISCOUNT*
SHOP NOWA classic for the reason: it's simple and it's solid. It's a liquid so hard to spot treat with but you can use on T-zone (around forehead and nose) or areas that tend to be congested. THIS IS STRONG so while the instructions say use 2x a day... no. To start just a few times a week and rotate one product in at a time. I.e. Don't just throw this and a retinol into your routine all of a sudden... you may experience irritation (purging is a bit meh).
Step 2 OPTION: LA ROCHE-POSAY | Effaclar Clarifying Solution Facial Toner For Acne Prone Skin With Salicylic Acid And Glycolic Acid, 6.76 Fl. Oz.
SHOP NOWStep 2 OPTION: this is a mix of salicylic and glycolic acid, best to use for whole face/less spot treat but very effective for texture and tone as well.
Retinoid (use post cleansing/be careful pairing with Salicylic acid treatments, use either or to start) LA ROCHE-POSAY | La Roche-Posay Effaclar Adapalene Gel 0.1% Retinoid Acne Treatment 1.6 Oz
SHOP NOWBe careful pairing with salicylic acid treatments, should be OK with cleansers just be cautious. Start low and slow: 2-3x a week at night. Pea size amount for the whole face.
