Cleanser
i recommend using a cream cleanser with clean ingredients so you won't strip your barrier more. these are the ones i love
Fortunately, this cleanser will always be a repurchase for me. I absolutely love the soft feel it gives my face afterwards, it has such a nice clean smell as well.

Moisturizer
the MOST important step here! moisturize you skin super well with a good thick barrier moisturizer at night. this what helped me get my glow and barrier back!
my personal top favs: avene, LRP and ATOBARRIER365 cream
if you're hesitant to buy it, just do! i'm acne prone and i've been using it for 4+ years
One of the best products i ever used! even as acne prone girlie this helped me SO much with acne and even those red spots from picking at my skin. you can use it 1-4x at night or even before makeup. for dry to combo skin (even oily)
