Acne-prone skin

So, you have acne-prone skin! Acne-prone skin can be either dry or oily, so please take that into consideration as well. When it comes to acne it's a bit trickier to figure a routine out, because there's different causes for acne. Some causes might be:

Here's some ingredients that might help your skin:

Tranexamic Acid

It's very helpful for skin that has acne scars of any other hyperpigmentation or skin discoloration. It reduces dark spots, strengthens the skin, and improves the overall appearance of the skin.

Niacinamide

It is a topical form of vitamin B3. Topical means it can be applied directly to a part of the body.
It helps prevent the evaporation of moisture from the skin.
According to "everydayhealth" it’s a natural anti-inflammatory ingredient, so it helps to calm irritated skin.
It is advised to not layer Niacinamide with Vitamin C.
Although some say these ingredients can work together, we do not recommend it. If you still want to use Vitamin C and Niacinamide in your routine, choose which one you want to use at night and the other at day to not cause any other additional skin issues.

Salicylic Acid

It is a beta hydroxy acid. Salicylic acid unclogs pores, fights against blemishes, and exfoliates.
Here’s some ingredients you should not mix with salicylic acid:

Retinol
Glycolic Acid
Vitamin C
