Toner? Essence? Ampoule?

What are your suggestions for combination skin that is prone to breakouts ?

Re: Toner? Essence? Ampoule?

I have combination-dry skin, and breakout along my chin and jawline area.  I second @LoNicole's recs for an essence and ampoule.  Another essence worth considering is the LJH Tea Tree 90 Essence.  I'd also suggest either CosRx One Step Pimple Clear Pads or First Aid Beauty Radiance Pads as an exfoliator - both are chemical exfoliants but use different acids.  The CosRx one includes a gentler version of salicylic acid (BHA) while the First Aid Beauty Radiance Pads contain lactic and glycolic acids (AHAs). 

RE: Toner? Essence? Ampoule?

I have similar skin type. I use Son & Park Beauty Water as a toner, Caudelie Brightening essence as my treatment essence. It contains 2% glycolic acid so it may cause some purging but has helped to clear my skin. Also use CosRx snail mucin essence or the whamisa green tea serum toner from target. For ampoule, the LJH vita Propolis ampoule gives my skin a nice glow and doesn’t cause me any breakouts. Good luck!

I would be gentile with your skin. I would use all three of these steps as long as they work well with your skin.
