Important Note Before You Start

Most skincare issues occur due to incorrect usage — either using too much product or combining incompatible ingredients. These routines are designed to prevent irritation, improve absorption, and maximize results with minimal steps.


ACNE-PRONE SKIN ROUTINE

Morning Routine

  • Cleanser

  • Sunscreen (2-finger application)

Night Routine

  • Tea Tree Acne Serum (2–3 drops)

  • Moisturizer (pea-sized amount)


Tea Tree Acne Serum

Purpose: Targets active acne, reduces inflammation, and controls excess oil.

How to use:
Apply 2–3 drops on clean, dry skin. Focus on affected areas and gently press into the skin.

Compatible with:
Niacinamide Serum, Hyaluronic Acid Serum

Avoid:
Overuse or layering too many active ingredients in the same routine.
