Easy to use, non-comedogenic cleanser. It doesn’t dry out the skin and it works well with benzoyl-peroxide (Panoxyl)

Nice cleanser for acne-prone skin. It can leave skin feeling a bit dry, so it’s important to follow up with a good moisturizer right after.

Perfect serum if you have hyperpigmentations from previous acne. Niancinamide will also help with treating already existing acne and prevent more breakouts. The best effect of this serum is to be achieved if it’s being used together with the sunscree...

Step 3: Moisturizer

The best moisturiser I have ever used, and I am on my 5-6th tube now. Never made me breakout, and since I have dry skin + I live in an extremly dry area, the moisture it gives is out of this world. In addition it had a mattifying effect. Love it!!

I wouldn’t recommend this one for acne prone skin as it can brak you out. In my case, I was left with hundres of small white dots on my face (no, it wasn’t millia) that took waaay too long and way too much effort to remove. It is specifically ceterea...

The best sunscreen I have ever tried. Maximum protection, it doesn’t wear off very fast, and has even stayed on skin after I went in water. Amazing for sensitive skin.

Light formula, absorbs fast and protects the skin for a few hours. It slowly removes the hyperpigmentations, but it sure does help prevent them. Can be used on sensitive and acne prone skin.
