Your oily skin, acne, and blackheads need a gentle, effective routine:
Face Wash (Twice Daily) – Use a salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide cleanser (CeraVe SA Cleanser, La Roche-Posay Effaclar).
Treatment (Night Only) – Apply benzoyl peroxide (2.5-5%) or adapalene (Differin Gel).
Moisturizer (Twice Daily) – Use a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer (Neutrogena Hydro Boost).
Sunscreen (Every Morning) – SPF 30+ (Biore UV Aqua Rich, EltaMD UV Clear).
Clay Mask (Once a Week) – Helps reduce oil.
Avoid harsh scrubs and picking pimples. If no improvement, see a dermatologist.

Hello there! I empathize because there are so many products out there. I recommend see a dermatologist that can diagnose this type of acne you have because not all acne is the same (it could be from hormones, rosacea, chemical exposure, genetics etc)!

I’m sorry to hear about your battle. It seems like you have been the over the counter route and have failed. Acne is a combination of hormones, oil, bacteria and your body’s ability to fight off this condition. We know that sugar, junk food, lack of sleep, soda, lack of water and an unhealthy lifestyle makes acne worse. OTC products that work are Adapelene and Benzoyl Peroxide. However they can cause some skin irritation at first so you should start out slow. If that is not cutting it, you should see your dermatologist because we have lots of options.
