Skincare routine help!

[taylerjean]

I have acne prone, combination skin. Usually I'm pretty dry, but certain makeup products make my t-zone oily. I am currently using olive oil to remove my makeup, LUSH Fresh Farmacy as my cleanser, and LUSH Grease Lightning as my spot treatment. As moisturizer goes, I have been using Clinique dramatically different lotion (I'm not looking to change this)

So, I have seen no results with this routine and the spot treatment leaves my skin too dry. Normally I always have new products to try so I can change my routine, but I've hit a dead end :/

Any recs?

I have a combo skin also that used to be more dry than it is now. I've had great luck using Neutrogena Naturals purifying cleanser. It removes makeup and doesn't dry my skin. I've also had great luck with Clarins cleansers as well as Clinique.

That Clinique moisturizer did nothing for me, so i can't recommend it. Do you know that green Lush cleanser called Herbalism? It's quite good. Okay, to warn you, the scent is strong and smells of fresh herbs (like, really, herb from your garden), but it's very effective. A little goes a long way so it's economical. I haven't tried Fresh Farmacy but it sounds quite good too, so don't change what works.

Ouch, i understand what you mean about that spot treatment. Taken alone the ingredients are good, but combined together they're very strong. I would suggest a product without tea tree, it's so strong it can burn the face. You can try lavender essential oil (1 drop per zit), it's more gentle.
