The steps
- CleanseAM + PMCOSRXLow pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser
Low pH gel cleanser with tea tree. Cleans without stripping, which is what keeps oily skin from over-producing oil by noon.
★ 4.6 (24,228) - ExfoliatePM, 3 nights a weekCOSRXAHA/BHA Clarifying Treatment Toner
AHA and BHA in a watery toner. BHA is oil-soluble, so it clears the pore instead of the surface. Start with three nights a week.
★ 4.6 (12,193) - TreatAM + PMAnuaAzelaic Acid 10 Hyaluron Redness Soothing Serum
10% azelaic acid calms redness and the marks spots leave behind, and it plays well with BHA. Fragrance-free.
★ 4.7 (11,363) - MoisturizeAM + PMiUNIKCentella Calming Gel Cream 60ml
A gel cream with centella. Oily skin still needs a moisturizer; skipping it is why the exfoliant starts to sting.
★ 4.6 (10,886) - SunscreenAMSkin1004Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum SPF50+
Serum-thin, no white cast, fragrance-free. Acids make skin more sun-sensitive, so this step is not optional.

How to use it
- Introduce one product a week, exfoliant last. If you get small bumps in week two or three on the exfoliant, that is purging and it settles; if it is stinging or peeling, drop to two nights.
- Do not add a second exfoliant or a vitamin C to this. Five steps is the whole routine.
- Not a medical routine. If you have a diagnosed skin condition, your dermatologist's plan comes first and this fits around it.
