[Product Request] What products to add to my routine for cleanse/moisturizer with acne?
I have struggled with acne for a while, and I think a lot of it is hormonal (21F). However, I want to ensure I'm thoroughly washing my face after a day of makeup/sunscreen, which currently I only do through a water based cleanser (Vanicream). I know I should be doing more, and am thinking of adding an oil cleanser, although I'm worried about breaking out.
My skin is very sensitive and needs a lot of moisturizing since I use retinoids. Any advice for cleansers or moisturizers is appreciated! This is my current routine:
Morning:
- Rinse with water
- For pimples: use CeraVe Acne Control Gel (salicylic acid)
- Moisturize: La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Gel
Night:
- Wash face with Vanicream Facial Cleanser
- Retin-A Tretinoin 0.05%
- Moisturize: La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Gel
I recently switched from the Vanicream cream moisturizer to the La Roche-Posay gel, but it's a little out of budget for me. I much prefer it though. Any similar gel ones that are cheaper?
