Acne-prone skin; Need a routine

My face is breaking out so much, l am using Differin gel at night. Do you still use moisturizer over it or not? I don’t want my face to get worse. I am a gal in 50’s, l have adult acne.

Yes, for differin gel only apply on the acne spots not all over the face. You should definitely use a moisturizer after you let the differin gel dry. differin gel cause the skin to get dehydrated so you need hydrating products that are not that heavy and oily. I suggest going with a gel moisturizer if you have oily/combo skin. I linked some products that could help. apply serum before the moisturizer!

YESSS!! you should always use moisturizer, is one of the most important steps of a routine. Never skip it despite of what products you're using. Try a moisturizer that has calming and barrier repairing ingredients like ceramide, , madecassoside, chamomile, green tea, etc. Also you can use a serum before you apply differin gel, like hyaluronic acid serum or niacinamide serum.

Yup, I apply moisturizer after applying Differin/adapalene since it can be drying and irritating to the skin if used alone. But there are some nights where I forgot to put on moisturizer after because I fell asleep while waiting 😂 My skin seems fine thankfully
