Oily, combination and acne-prone skin dealing with breakouts, clogged pores, excess oil or post-acne marks.
Yes, but if your skin is sensitive, introduce one product every few days. Start with the wash and SPF, then add the serum, then the cream in the evenings.
Salicylic and azelaic acid can feel drying at first. If your skin feels tight, use the wash once a day and add a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer.
Don't use retinol/retinoids the same night as the serum, and avoid layering other exfoliating acids or scrubs. If you use benzoyl peroxide or prescription treatments, check with your doctor first.
Acne actives and healing skin are more sensitive to the sun, and UV makes post-acne marks darker. Wearing SPF 50 every morning protects your results.
Many people see fewer new breakouts within 2–4 weeks. Post-acne marks take longer to fade, usually from around weeks 6–8 with daily SPF. Individual results vary.
