I had acne from my early teens to mid to late twenties, and aggravated cystic acne further by using too many products in a desperate attempt to cure it.
Switching to a simpler routine was key to clearing up my skin...

AM Routine
Step 1 (option 1): This is great for wearing during the day as it's not greasy. If your skin is oily/climate is, recommend using option 2 instead.
Aestura Atobarrier365 Cream
Step 1 (Option 2): Moisturiser for oily skin - I like using this in the summer months over Option 1 because it's lighter.
ATOBARRIER 365 Hydro Soothing Cream - AESTURA
Step 2: Super important for skin protection - this one doesn't break me out, and the SPF factor has been proven to be accurate
La Roche Posay Anthelios Wet Skin Sunscreen SPF 50+ Sustainable Tube ...
PM Routine
Step 1: One of my fave oil cleansers - light, and somehow not oily 😅 Use on dry skin, and massage in circles for at least 30 seconds.
Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil
Step 2: Best cleanser for everyday use! Keeps the breakouts at bay (I tried a different one, but had to switch back - that's how good this is).
AHA BHA PHA 30 Days Miracle Acne Clear Foam
Step 3: I use this every 2 days, but daily if I feel like my skin is getting congested. Lasts ages - all you need is 2 or 3 drops for the whole face.
AHA BHA PHA 30 Days Miracle Serum
Step 4: Moisturise! Non greasy, and so hydrating. Love how my skin feels after using this. 💧
Aestura Atobarrier365 Cream
Alternative Options
Alternative moisturiser - good if your skin is on the dry side.
La Roche-Posay Sensitive and Reactive Skin
Semi mineral suncreen alternative - doesn't break me out either, but not sure about sun protection efficacy! Generally use in winter when the sun is weaker.
Truecica Mineral Calming Tone-Up Suncream SPF50+ Broad Spectrum
My ultimate FAVOURITE sunscreen! I would get this all the time, except that it is on the expensive side. Get this if you have the budget for it.
EltaMD UV Physical Broad-Spectrum SPF 41
Add-On Items
These. Are. MAGIC. Great for spots around your period. Wear during the day or overnight (they're almost invisible).
Acne Pimple Master Patch
Great for makeup removal - soothing and doesn't cause breakouts for me. Use before oil cleansing.
Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water Original 400ml
This is a great eye cream if you need extra moisture around the eye area. Unlike other eye creams I've tried, this is non-comodogenic so won't block pores.
Revive Eye Serum: Ginseng + Retinal
