I'm 18 years old and today I went to do a facial and I found out I have combination and sensitive skin. My T zone is where I usually get breakouts and blackheads love me... I don't really break out much, maybe one or two pimples from time to time.

I was wondering if any of you recommend any facial cleaners, scrubs, and toners for my type of skin?

Thank you!

 
I'm close to your age (I'm 22), and also have combination skin that is also pretty sensitive.

As far as cleansers go, I love the Clean & Clear Oil Absorbing cream cleanser and Neutrogena Rapid Clear Oil-Control foaming cleanser. I prefer the Clean & Clear one, by a small margin, because it seems to help with blackheads a bit better, and I would have repurchased it this last time, but the store was out, and I needed something because I literally had no cleanser left, so I decided to give the Neutrogena a shot since it seemed like a similar product (and it is).

For an exfoliater, my absolutely favorite, HG is St. Ives apricot scrub for sensitive skin. Ah-mazing!

Because I have dark acne scars from my teenage years (that makes me sound old, doesn't it? LOL), I use moisturizers that are made specifically to treat dark spots and uneven skin tone, but I'll recommend them anyway because well, they're awesome! The first one, which is the one I would recommend most, is the Aveeno Positively Radiant moisturizer. It's got SPF, a little sparkle, and is lightweight enough to use day and night. The second is a bit heavier, so I only use it at night and is Neutrogena Rapid Tone Repair.

Using these products, I rarely get breakouts (I generally have 1-3 tops at any given time), and usually, they're hormonal and there's not anything I can do to prevent them. My skin has honestly never looked or felt better!

 
thank you very much!! I'm definitely going to try these products soon :) /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> 

Question, I'm such a newbie when it comes to face care, but is there any particular order I should have when applying these products? Thanks a bunch!! 

 
I first use my cleanser, then the exfoliater (the apricot scrub), and moisturizer once I'm out of the shower or have just washed my face. I exfoliate 1-3x a week.
