- Y’all have been asking so here is it! My simple, over-the-counter acne-prone skincare routine (Former dermatology nurse approved)! 🔗 Comment SKINCARE to receive a DM with the links! AM: ☀️Benzoyl Peroxide Cleanser: helps kill acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation. ☀️Oil-free, non-comedogenic Moisturizer: keeps skin hydrated without clogging pores. ☀️ SPF 30 or higher: protects healing skin and prevents post-acne dark spots. PM: 🌙 Gentle Cleanser (oil free - non comedogenic): removes oil and makeup without irritation. 🌙 Differin Gel (wait 30 minutes after cleansing): It helps unclog pores, prevent new breakouts, and fade post-acne marks over time. (Adapalene, the active in Differin, is a type of retinoid designed specifically for acne.) It also boosts collagen production, helps shed old, dull skin cells and replaces them with new, healthy ones so it’s GREAT for anti-aging! Pro tip: If your skin feels dry, you can mix Differin with your moisturizer or use the ‘moisturizer sandwich’ method — moisturizer first, then Differin, then another light layer on top. (May need to start using every third night and work your way up to nightly). Keep it (opens in a new tab) · <1%
