Simple Acne-Fighting Skincare Routine
Step 1: Gentle Cleanse
Salicylic acid cleanser (2%) once daily at night. Gentle foaming cleanser in the morning.
Step 2: Treatment
Benzoyl peroxide (2.5-5%) for inflammatory acne. Start every other night.
Step 3: Retinoid
Adapalene 0.1% on alternate nights from benzoyl peroxide.
Step 4: Oil-Free Moisturizer
Non-comedogenic gel with niacinamide to control oil production.
Step 5: Sunscreen
Lightweight, oil-free SPF 30+ every morning.
Common Mistakes
Don't layer benzoyl peroxide and retinoid together. Don't skip moisturizer — dry skin overproduces oil.
