Hello ladies! 👋🏻

I know nothing about skincare …. but I want to build a skincare routine! I have normal to oily skin I would say. My t-zone gets oily and like right below my eyes (I guess cheekbones), but not always. My cheeks are pretty normal (other than my cheekbones as mentioned) - not too oily but not too dry.

I have acne on my jawline that I just can’t get under control - I never had bad acne before, until about 2 years ago when I was 25. It got really bad on my cheeks so I went to a dermatologist. She prescribed me Epiduo Forte, clindamycin, and doxycycline. It worked really well for me and cleared it up. I stopped using it bc it was so much better and cleared up a lot, also bc it summer and it makes your skin more sensitive and since I didn’t need it I stopped. Since I’m having this stubborn acne on my jawline I’m reaching out to her again to renew my products.

I currently use CeraVe Renewing SA Cleanser. I was using the foaming facial cleanser, but I felt like my face was getting more oily more often, so I switched to this and like it. I also use CeraVe Facial Moisturizing Cream - AM w/SPF 30 during the day, and PM at night. That’s about for my routine. I exfoliate 1-2 a week using a little pad I bought from like Marshall’s or something.

I’ve read about how to build a skincare routine, using toners and serums - I am looking for specific brands/toners/serums and what they do for your skin. Like I said, I have normal to oily skin. I have some acne, scarring and redness. I just want my overall skin to feel and look better. Smoother and more even.

Can you suggest any products and tell me what they do for the skin? What is your skincare routine?

Thanks in advance!!!
