@ElHaam I think you're on the right track with what you're using and planning to switch to (a gentler cleanser is a good idea, you can still use the microdelivery a couple times a week for physical exfoliation if you want). That said, none of your products target acne so it's not surprising that you aren't seeing improvement there. I'd recommend looking at a BHA (salicylic acid) serum to target acne. Maybe the Paula's Choice Mini Skin Perfecting 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant 1 oz/ 30 mL 

ETA: if you're not already using a sunscreen when you go out, I'd highly recommend getting one.

So a good skincare routine has different products for morning and night. Ideally in the morning you'll use an astringent cleanser or gel cleanser followed by your serum and day cream. At night you'll want to use a creamy cleanser, and more hydrating products like a richer night cream, since your skin stops producing oil while you sleep, and richer products help prevent water loss. 

   I would recommend exfoliating no more than three times a week, because over exfoliating can dry out your skin causing more breakouts. I think keeping your products simple to start will also help you figure out what works for your skin. So a face wash, serum, and moisturizer. I recommend the Soy Cleanser from Fresh, it's a nice basic cleanser that won't strip the natural oils from your skin, and gives a nice healthy glow. I'm also a fan of the Lotus Youth Moisturizer from Fresh that you're using. 

    A good thing to note while layering products, is that if you're using an oil it goes underneath a moisturizer. Since it's molecularly smaller than a moisturizer it won't be absorbed if it's placed on top. 

I hope this helps!

Thank you a lot. actually I didn't care that it was Exfoliating face wash I was like it cleans better. but after using I realized it's very harsh and drying.  I want to use a gentle face wash and anew serum.

Totally. Then I would recommend trying the Soy Cleanser from Fresh, and a calming serum. The Edible Beauty Probiotic Radiance Serum looks really nice. Probiotics are great for acne, and a calming serum will help with redness and inflammation. Good luck! Finding a good skincare routine is a process!
