combo skin

Hello!! 

I have combo skin and dealing with some acne on my forehead. Mostly dry around my nose, but the rest is oily. I am wondering what your routines are and what products you use!

What's your current routine look like @snellybelly?

Without knowing what your using I think adding The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum for Oily Skin could be helpful. It's just 2 drops day and night after cleansing, before your moisturizer. It can help control oil and for me it helps keep away minor breakouts, but only if I use it regularly.

If you do change your routine remember to give the new items time to work. It can take up to 3 weeks to see results from changes in your routine.

Adding one new item or change at a time can help you pin point what's working and what's not.

i would say get products that have niacinamide and salicylic acid or any chemical exfoliant. I like the ordinary niacinamide and the paulas choice 2% salicylic acid. I use the niacinamide morning and night but only use the salicylic acid 3x a week at night

I had the same issue as you and what I started to do was I changed up my cleanser to using Glow Recipe cleanser with the toner right after morning and night. In the morning I use the dew drops from Glow Recipe to add hydration and plump my skin. 

Once a week, I use Benefit Pore clay mask and HOLY are the results amazing - you can see all the oil being pulled out of your pores so they're smaller and it's so easy to wash off. It really empties your pores so you don't break out as much and keeps oil levels down. 

Also, once a week I use the baby facial from Drunk Elephant for an exfoliating mask. Alot of people say it burns but I felt nothing and my skin has been drastically changed since I added those 5 products into my routine.
