Cleanser: Vanicream Gentle Facial Cleanser
This cleanser is super gentle, and does not strip my skin for the most part. It does not have any “active ingredients” like salicylic acid or niacinimide. It has helped keep my cleansing routine very gentle.
Toner & Essences: Mediheal Teatree Trouble Facial Toner Pads, Pyunkang Yul Essence Toner, SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Asiatica Ampoule
These toner combination has helped reduce my breakouts, and helps soothe my skin, because they all contain antibacterial and soothing ingredientsThey also help keep my skin hydrated.
Moisturizer: COSRX Oil Free Lotion with Birch Sap
This moisturizer has been th eonly one that does not clog my pores or cause breakouts. It is basic, moisturizing and does not have a greasy feel. It also absorps pretty fast.
Tretinoin: Mine is Medical-grade
Tretinoin has helped clear most of my acne scars and reduces my breakouts. You can get this prescribed by your doctor or get one over the counter, but you have to research which brand will work best for you.
Chemical Exfoliant: By Wishtrend Mandelic Acid 5% Skin Prep Water
This mandelic acid has helped reduce my skin texture and it gently exfoliates my skin. It reduces the flakiness and dry skin when my skin is flaky from tretinoin. It also reduces my breakouts as well.
Sunscreen: Roundlab Birch Moisturizing Sunscreen
This sunscreen is very hydrating, not greasy and it does not leave a white cast on me (I have medium-tan skin). I love it, and it does not break me out either. It is super lightweight. If you get it, get it directly from the brand’s website, not Amazon. I do not think the brand carries this particular sunscreen in their Amazon storefront.

Tip: After a few months of using tretinoin, increasing the amount of days you use it helps the efficacy and reduces peeling. I am about to increase how many days I use tretinoin since I’ve only been using it twice a week.
