Salicylic Acid Cleanser
2% BHA Exfoliant
Oil‑Free Moisturizer

For oily, acne‑prone (OSNT) skin, keep pores clear, calm inflammation, and lock in lightweight hydration. Here’s a simple, effective routine.

Morning (AM)

  1. Cleanse: Use a salicylic acid wash like Neutrogena Oil‑Free Pink Grapefruit Cleanser for pore‑decongestion. Prefer ultra‑budget? Try Revolution Clearly Me 2% SA Gel.
  2. Treat: Sweep on a leave‑on BHA such as Paula’s Choice SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA Liquid to keep clogs and blackheads at bay.
  3. Moisturize: Go light with Jack Black Clean Break Oil‑Free Moisturizer for shine‑free hydration.
  4. Protect: Set and mattify with SPF 50 Mineral Sunscreen Setting Powder; reapply mid‑day for oil control.

Night (PM)

  1. Cleanse: Repeat your SA cleanser to remove excess oil and buildup.
  2. Spot/Treat: Apply a thin layer of Perrigo 10% Benzoyl Peroxide Gel on active breakouts 2–3 nights/week; increase as tolerated.
  3. Moisturize: Finish with the same oil‑free moisturizer to balance without clogging.

Pro tip: Introduce BHA and benzoyl peroxide on alternate nights to minimize irritation. Want your precise Baumann skin type? Take the SkinGuide test and tailor your picks.
