Acne prone combinations skin. The best products

[Melabela10]

Inspired by other similar threads...

Here is my list of products:

Take the day off from Clinique balm. Not too dry and takes off the make up from eyes and face, don't need to use 2 products.

Dior micellar water / best of all the micellar waters I tried

Ester lauder daywear oil free cream or Dior hydra life as a moisturiser - both are good and light

Smash box primer oil free - good make up base and doesn't clog. A lot of other primers break me out a lot.

Ester Lauder double wear ( nude) foundation
Dermatologica for acne prone skin foundation
Guerlain foundation ( can't remember the exact name !)

When I have breakouts I only use la rochay posay effeclaire tinted cream - works magic but a bit drying so only used during bad days , it has a light coverage so won't suit if you want to mask sever break outs

Night cream :
Clarins youth, blue one
Ester Lauder nightwear

And EL enlighten serum- perfect for post acne marks

For quick acne fix : boots clear skin cream - cheap and cheerful and does what it says without drying out my skin too much
Origins spot remover - similar to boots one but more drying

Something I've discovered recently which has helped tame my breakouts massively - Savlon. Plain old cheap Savlon from Superdrug. I've used everything over the years and in desperation stuck a bit of Savlon on the bit between my eyebrows last week to try to help clear up a horrible breakout, really deep and sore. The next morning it was so much better so I kept doing it and my spots cleared up so much quicker than normal!

Doesn't prevent them, but definitely seems to be helping to fix them a bit!

And agree with EL Double Wear foundation. Only thing that hides my horrible skin. The Lucidity powder on top is lovely too, not too heavy or clogging.

Acnecide cream, Nip Fab glycolic range and a light, baby moisturiser.

Doesn't cure them but will prevent them. Acnecide literally turned my skin around.

Dr Hauschka Cleansing Cream, Clarifying intensive treatment, clarifying oil. All very gentle and won't dry out your skin. The Cleansing Cream especially is a miracle product.

I like Savlon for healing too. Or Germaline if there's inflammation as it's got an ingredient in it for that.

Cerave face wash and moisturiser
A tube of duac for emergencies

Mineral powder foundation - Laura Mercier is my favourite. The colour is the best I've found.
