what serum should i use??

i do not know what serums to use!! i am

a young teenage girl and my routine is just cleanser and moisturizer. i want to find a good serum that helps with clogged pores and acne that is not drying and is gentle!!❤️

Re: what serum should i use??

Hi! Unfortunately, a lot of acne problems in younger teenage girls are related to hormonal issues/puberty. It’s possible that a serum would help, in which case I second The Ordinary Niacinamide products (they’re affordable and great quality!). 

But if things don’t change, I would suggest checking into your diet (sugary foods can contribute to acne) and make sure you aren’t touching your face, and cleanse day and night with a gentle cleanser followed by moisturizer. 

If none of this helps, I suggest a visit to your local clinic. In the end of my acne journey (honestly still a bit ongoing), I had to grow out of it for the most part. Best of luck and I hope the product works for you!

Re: what serum should i use??

the ordinary has some good serums! The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% Serum for Oily Skin or The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Anhydrous Solution, Gentle Exfoliating Serum for Blemishes 1 oz/ 30 m... are both very good! i would recommend the 2nd one more because it is less drying that the first one i tagged.
