I have been lurking here and reading up in others experience with certain brands.

I have developed some blemishing around my chin and sideburns. (Due to acne, shaving and nervous picking.) I never used any product on my face (cleanser, toner, sunscreen, nada!) until 2 years ago when I developed acne. I always had normal skin with an occasional zip or two, nothing severe. I noticed a huge change, became extremely insecure and decided to start taking care of my face.

Recently my skin has been dry on cheeks, eye lids and corner of lips. I am currently using The Ordinary The No-Brainer Set, some times the Orgin Checks and Balances Face Wash and Ginzing Moisturizer but I stopped using the Origins Face Wash due to the drying getting worse. I am using a small amount of Dr.Bronner's Hemp Rose Soap and it seemed to help it. I had a friend gift me Thayers Witch Hazel Rose Petal Toner but I am not sure where to add it into my routine. If anyone can recommend a gentle cleanser that is moisturizing and any other products that can help clear off acne blemishes and discoloration?

Here is my routine!

AM

• Warm water with a small amount of Dr.Bronners Hemp Rose Soap and gently cleansed with Foreo Mini device
• The Ordinary "Buffet" Serum
• The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors HA or Origin Ginzing Moisturizer
• Supergoop Everyday Sunscreen SPF 50

PM

• Warm water and wiped face down with paper towel
• The Ordinary Granactive Retinoid 2% Emulsion
• The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors HA or Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptife Moisturizer
