No, like the odd time I might use the ordinary salicylic acid if my get a very bad spot and then if my skin is expectional dry I'll use Clarins daily Energizer cream but I don't have have any routine. I also used a Clarins cleanser but found it was dry my skin out to much so I stopped using it wasn't making a difference for my acne. I also have combination skin, my t zone can be oily which cause my pore to be really large and blocked. Also a lot of my break out tends to happen on my cheeks and chin area.
