I have splashed out on some Avene stuff for my poor dry/oily/sensitive/spotty/flaky skin. How I managed that combination I have no idea.

I have bought
Gel cleanser
Toning milk
Recovery cream for day
A serum
Rich compensating cream for bedtime
And a serum to dissolve the spots off my face

Now what?

Cleanse, tone, acid serum-wait for that to dry- serum, moisturise for day?

Cleanse, tone, moisturise for night?

Also, I cycle a lot, what should I do when I get back home with a sweat drenched face, do the day routine(minus acid serum) again?

Save my skin!!!

Could you say what the products are exactly? I mean brand, etc.

I'd say a gel cleanser would be too harsh for dry and flaky skin, even if there are oily patches and spots.

Using it twice (or even more often) would probably be too drying and irritating. Your skin should not feel taut after cleansing.

Maybe you could use the Avene thermal water spray after cycling.

I'd also use the anti-blemish serum very sparingly on blemishes only, at night.

I bought the gentle gel cleanser. I don't like wipe-off cleansers as they make my skin feel clogged up and just doesn't feel clean enough.

Tried it a little while ago and skin didn't feel tight so perhaps my skin is just mildly dry due to the time of year, my skin always goes to shit in the autumn.
