MORNING REGIME

Step 1: Facewash

Cleansing helps remove excess oil, dust, dirt, and pollutants from your skin, preventing clogged pores that can lead to breakouts. Your skin should feel refreshed, not dry or tight, after cleansing. Cleanse your face up to three times a day following the technique shown in this video for optimal results.

• La Roche-Posay Effaclar Medicated Gel Facial Cleanser with salicylic acid for non-sensitive oily skin still breaking out.
• La Roche-Posay Effaclar Purifying Foaming Gel  for normal skin type.
• La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Face Cleanser for sensitive dry to normal skin type, recommended if your skin gets over dry after using adapalene gel.

Step 2: Moisturiser

A moisturizer may only be needed if your skin feels dry after using other products in your routine. Apply a thin layer, starting with the U-zone and ending with the T-zone.

Recommended Product:  La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer is specifically formulated with ceramides and Niacinamide to provide moisture and soothe the skin. 

Step 3: Morning treatment product

Use a treatment product with ingredients like Kojic Acid, Alpha Arbutin, Tranexamic Acid, or Azelaic Acid to help fade post-acne brown marks. Apply small dots across the face and massage gently. Avoid the area under your eyes.

Recommended Product:  La Roche-Posay Mela B3 Serum has 10% Niacinamide that helps in reducing acne, inflammation and post acne pigmentation.

Step 4: Sunscreen

A lightweight sunscreen in a gel or fluid form protects the skin without clogging pores, providing crucial sun protection. Apply at least 30 minutes before going out. Use two fingertip-sized amounts, gently massaging to spread evenly. Reapply every 3 hours, and avoid heavy layering of products.

Recommended Product: La Roche Posay Anthelios UV Hydra Sunscreen SPF 50 provides broad-spectrum protection while helping to control oil production.
