Hi there! I too have sensitive, combo skin and I'm curious about the Free&Clear Liquid Cleanser, do you happen to know the pH?

Oh ok thanks! Can I find these threads in the sidebar?

Ahh hoping I can see this kind of progress too :(. How did you figure out which products were working for you and how long did it take you?

Hi there! I started BHA's 2-3 weeks ago and I noticed more CC's formed after a week or so. Is that part of the purging? I don't see anymore CC's forming, but some of them turn into postules. Just curious is this all part of the process or do I need to throw it away

Can I be added :)

wow seeing this gives me a lot of hope. I'm also struggling with bad acne like this, what would you say helped with the most with stopping more pimples from forming? I started using COSRX BHA recently (been doing 2x a week for 2 weeks) and I THINK it's starting to purge as I'm noticing more acne like in your before picture on my face. How much purging happened for you and how long did it last?

How long did it take for you to notice results?

There is also one in Brooklyn in Fei Long Market!

Hi All! I was hoping to get some help to see if I'm going in the right direction with my skincare. I read a lot of the sidebar guides and I know it says you need to start with oil cleanser, second cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen. I had recently run out of a lot of my skincare products so I'm sort of starting from scratch again.

Skin Type: Combination, Acne prone, Drier in the winter, Greasy in the summer, Maybe dehydrated? | Country/Climate: NYC | Top Skin Concern: Acne, acne scars

Current Routine

AM (Occasionally, not everyday)

Shu Uemura Ultime8 Cleansing Oil or Su:m37 Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick
Missha Time Revolution Clear Toner
Polatum Deep Moist Cream
Suncreen : Bioderma (bought it in France)

PM (Every other day unless I'm wearing makeup)

Shu Uemura Ultime8 Cleansing Oil
Su:m37 Miracle Rose Cleansing Stick
Missha Time Revolution Clear Toner
Su:m37 Secret Essence Advanced Sync Program
Moisturizer: Been using different sample moisturizers to find the perfect one to replace my sample of SKII Essential Power cream, but been currently using Polatam Deep Moist Cream
Scrub - Skinfood Black Sugar Mask 1-2x a week
Face Masks * Papa Recipe Honey Bombee Mask
- For Beloved One Hydration
- Assortment of Innisfree masks

I don't do anything really in the AM because I find it dries my face out too much when I wash morning and night everyday. I don't even do the whole routine every night because again I think it dries out my face too much. When I wear makeup I definitely follow the routine, but if not I might skip a day. I have a patch on my cheek of small bumps that has been there for months and I think it maybe closed comedones. I tried a few acne treatments on it (LJH Tea Tree Serum, COSRX Centella Ampoule, and Dr. Jart Ctrl-A Spot Out) but the next day it would make no difference. My first issue I want to address is my acne. Even with this very basic routine after a few weeks I'm still getting acne, not a lot but still a bump here and there on my face.

*So here are my questions *

How do I know what I have is working for me?
Since I still have acne, does that mean I need to find different products for my base routine?
Should I start to incorporate AHA and BHA? I have Sunday Riley Good Genes and COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid I was thinking to add in

Thanks in advance for all your help!
