Clear Skin Anti Acne Skin Care Routine

My Current Skin Care Regimen: Clear Skin and Banishing Acne



Since treating my acne, I put together a really gentle skin care regime. I was initially prescribed the Cetaphil products but have continued to purchase ever since - it's the most gentle product and doesn't break me out in the slightest. 

I feel like I've really perfected my skin care regimen now and that it really helps keeping acne at bay and keeping my skin in good condition. 


1. Remove all makeup before cleansing. Tip! Soak a cotton pad with makeup remover (I use No.7 make up remover), gently press onto eye area and hold for 30 seconds. This allows the oil based remover to break down mascara and eyeliner (pm)



2. Massage Cetaphil Cleanser into dry skin (am and pm)






3. Use warm water to wash face and pat dry with a clean towel

4. Soak a cotton pad with Abi’s Home Made Toner. Toners are used to remove the cleanser residue and to prepare face for moisturising



5. I apply a pea size amount of Epiduo to my chin and wait for this to dry (pm ONLY!)



6. I apply Clinique All About Eyes eye cream by tapping gently under my eyes

7. Finally, use Cetaphil Moisturiser on face and neck. I mix this 50/50 with a different moisturiser: For morning I use Nivia Visage Day Cream with SPF 15 and for night I use No7 Essential Moisture Night Cream



If I have any break outs, I spot treat with tea tree oil. I exfoliate with No7 Microdermabration Exfoliator once a week

Hope you've found this helpful, I'd love to hear about your skin care regimes in case I fancy changing things up!

  1. Hi,
    I have had a similar struggle to you in the past few months but after reading your blog and using epiduo (the way it is meant to be used) I have started to see some improvements. I am now worried about the spots and scars that are being left behind... Can you please tell me how you used lemon juice to get rid of the scars and spots??

    Thanks, CJH

  2. Hi Abi
    So good to hear that Epiduo worked for you. I have also had an amazing result from using Epiduo and my skin care routine actually mirrors your so closely that I think the combination of using a very gentle non-stripping cleanser like Cetaphil and then toning and also using a really hydrating moisturiser (I use Clinique's Overnight Turnaround Moisturiser, and I've noticed an even more impressive result since using this), which is a winning combo. Was so impressed by Epiduo and I was so sceptical at first. It's done wonders for my confidence and I can actually go out without make up which I wouldn't have dreamed of before using it! X
