Oily/some acne, redness, and anti-aging skin care...And GO!

Ever since Dr. Brandt ended the product line I was using (I can't remember the products now), my skin has never looked as good as it did. I have a little acne once in a while, some red areas, and just an all over dullness to my skin. I'm 44, don't have any wrinkles yet, but want to get on the anti-aging train along with my other issues. I was using some Clean & Clear cleanser, witch hazel toner, and Aveeno moisturizer with salicylic acid, then Neutrogena oil-control products. I've been using OLEHENRIKSEN Mini 3 Little Wonders™ and OLEHENRIKSEN Find Your Balance™ Oil Control Cleanser 2 oz/ 60 mL  for like 3 weeks and haven't noticed a difference. Do I need to try it for a longer period of time to see results? #Any recommendations welcome! Thank you!

What changes are you hoping to see, @HJMc? For noticeable differences, it can take months. That said, these products may not be the best to help you achieve what you're hoping to. I love OH products, but nothing here is likely to help with acne and the truth serum is a vitamin C derivative so it isn't as powerful as an ascorbic acid serum. And redness may require more hydration (or specific ingredients) that aren't included here.

@treestar86 Thank you for all the product recommendations! I really appreciate it.

@quspork Thank you for replying. Like I said in my post "I have a little acne once in a while, some red areas, and just an all over dullness to my skin." Can you recommend any products to try? Or to avoid? I attempted to use the skincare quiz on this site, but I wasn't satisfied with the results. I felt there could have been more choices.

Right, like I said above dealing with acne and dullness really take time to see effective results. If you're happy with the cleanser and moisturizer, you can keep them but I'd look at adding sunscreen before anything else. After you have that in place a BHA/salicylic acid serum will be your best place to start for combating the acne. Then again I'd recommend switching to an ascorbic acid vitamin C serum to help with the dullness. And you may want to consider adding in a calming, hydrating toner, essence, or serum to help reduce redness. @HJMc
