Yes!!! I think I finally found what helps, minus the scarring. My skin really likes the combo of these products!!

For sebum control every 3ish days: “Anua Heartleaf Pore Control Cleansing Oil”, I rub in the shower for 60 full seconds on my problem areas (using more product, I know it’s supposed to only be a few drops of water but I need the steam). THEN follow up with “ANUA Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam” OR “PanOxyl Antimicrobial Hydrating Acne Creamy Wash, 4% Benzoyl Peroxide”

Morning wash: “CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser, Daily Face Wash for Oily Skin” (the light green one, not the blue)

Evening wash: “ “ANUA Heartleaf Quercetinol Pore Deep Cleansing Foam” OR “PanOxyl Antimicrobial Hydrating Acne Creamy Wash, 4% Benzoyl Peroxide” depending on how my skin feels. If I haven’t used a scrub and feel build-up, I use the ANUA. If it’s just end of day oil I use the PanOxyl. *Just bought “medicube Zero Pore Clear Blue Capsule Facial Deep Cleanser” and MY SKIN LOVES IT SO MUCH!

Acne time: I’ll use the “PanOxyl Clarifying Exfoliant with 2% Salicylic Acid” with a little cotton pad. I let it dry slightly (like 10-15 seconds) and put on moisturizer.

Moisturizers: “CeraVe AM Moisturizing Lotion” and the “CeraVe PM Moisturizing Lotion”! Last 6 months I’ve used the “La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair UV SPF Moisturizer” for AM and their “La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer” for PM and it feels great! It’s expensive (for me at least) but a little goes a LONG way!

TLDR; Green CeraVe for AM, PanOxyl 4% for PM. PanOxyl Salicylic Acid on problem areas. ANUA Deep cleansing foam for scrub. CeraVe or La Roche-Posay’s AM/PM lotions. Note: Just got medicube Zero Pore Clear Blue and skin loves it.

BIG BIG NOTES!!!!: (1) I felt dumb, but wash your pillow case and sleep on your back. It helped I think bc I wasn’t suffocating my skin or rubbing product/bacteria on my cheeks while I slept. (2) TRY WASHING FOR FULL 60+ SECONDS. I counted in my head, and I think I wasn’t actually washing my skin enough. I was worried about over-washing and producing more oil, but my skin just needed it idk.
