There are so many products on the market to help improve the overall quality of our skin and your acne. We’ve got anti acne moisturizers, cleansers, eye creams, serums, oils, exfoliators, masks, various treatments—you get the gist. All these products are supposed to help you, and they help you in different ways. The question is, how do we use them? And in what order should they be used?
Growing up, nobody ever sat me down and taught me how to use these products while I was dealing with acne. In fact, I didn’t know there were so many types of products when I was a teenager. Here's how to apply your skincare in the correct order so you get the full effectiveness from your products. If you don't have a product for a certain step, feel free to skip it.
Maybe there are more acne skincare products you use than what is listed above, and maybe there are less. To put it into simpler terms: order your products from lightest and most watery to heaviest and thickest. The more clear and thin products go on first, and the heavier, creamier, and thicker products go on last. This ordering helps each product sink into the skin as equally as possible. When done correctly, your skin gets the most out of the products you use.
You don't need to use every single type of product listed here either, more doesn't always mean better results.
Sometimes a simpler routine is all your skin needs and it all depends on your skin type too. For example, dry skin might do better with an extra oil after moisturizer, while oily skin may do much better without the extra oil step.
