What routine should I use for my acne treatment?
Today I bought the Clean and Clear blackhead scrub. I use Clean and Clear Shine Control Cleanser in the morning and put a moisturizer after that and at night i use Clean and Clear Continuous Acne Cleanser. Now since I bought the Blackhead scrub thing I don't know when to use it... So should this be my routine or is it too much:
Cleanser and Moisturizer (Morning)
Blackhead Scrub (3 times a week in the morning)
Acne Cleanser (Night Everyday)
Exfoliate (Twice a week)
By the way I have combination skin.
Suggestions will be nice please. Thank you! =D

Woah woah woah!
Slow down there.
I love clean and clear oil free moisturizer, and I think you should cleanse and moisturize every morning.
But the rest seems EXTREMELY drying.
The scrub is the same as exfoliating, and without moisturizing it’ll dry you out,
and with this brand, the moisturizer on dry skin STINGSSS
+ exfoliating 2s a week is too much, let alone 5 times!
It seems like it’ll burn you out.
I would recommend exfoliating 1nce a week, cleanse/moisturize in the morning/before you go to bed.
Honey is AMAZING for acne by the way, as long as it’s organic with no additives.
It’s a little sticky, but if you dilute it with some water and brush it on/leave it on overnight it gets rid of the redness of acne :D
Yogurt helps your skin glow also.
(remember, before putting ANYTHING on your face test a bit on your chin or side of your face just to make sure you’re not allergic.. it may not be the product itself but the scent! it takes almost 20,000 chemicals to make one scent, amazing huh? thanks google!)
You can use the other products such as your blackhead scrub/acne cleanser/the other stuff in moderation. If you use it too many times, however, the results could be drastic.
Hope this helps. :) Good luck!

The scrub will exfoliate so if you use the scrub AND exfoliate it would be a little much; pick one or use the scrub twice and exfoliate once. Also, I’d use the scrub at night, that way you won’t have any dead cells on top and your night products will absorb better.

I would not the the black head scrub more than every three days, if it is abrasive. If you are not prone to constant acne, i would use your regular cleanser instead of the the acne cleanser and just spot treat acne as it appears with an acne cream. Also moisturize every time you clean.

clean and clear is ok but neautrogena is wayyy better. Everyone I know that uses it has no acne. (Including me)
