How should a beginner start an acne routine?

Begin with a gentle cleanser, moisturizer and daily sunscreen, then add one acne-focused product. Introducing several exfoliants or spot treatments together makes irritation harder to identify and can leave acne-prone skin feeling more reactive.

Can dry or sensitive skin still use an acne routine?

Yes. Acne can occur with dry or sensitive skin, so the routine should include mild cleansing, targeted treatment and adequate barrier support. Choose the gentler active level and increase frequency only if your skin remains comfortable.

Are post-acne marks the same as active acne?

No. Active acne involves clogged or inflamed lesions, while flat marks can remain after a breakout has settled. A routine may address both, but active breakouts and uneven-looking tone often need different priorities.

Should acne-prone skin avoid moisturizer?

No. A suitable moisturizer can reduce tightness and support tolerance to acne-focused ingredients. Choose a texture matched to your skin type instead of removing moisturizer from the routine.

Why is sunscreen included in an acne routine?

Daily sunscreen helps protect sensitized skin and can reduce the visible darkening of post-acne marks. Select a comfortable formula that you can apply generously and reapply according to its directions.
