Better Together

Why do acne routines have to be all OTC or all prescription? In my opinion, some of the best routines I recommend are a combination of the best from both worlds.

Check out some of my faves!

Prescription Clindamycin lotion with OTC La RochePosay Effaclar Duo

• Great for those with red, pus-filled pimples

• Apply Clindamycin lotion in the morning, followed with a moisturizer/sunscreen combo

• Apply Effaclar Duo in the evening, followed by moisturizer (Caution: This product contains BPO, which may lead to bleaching of your dark pillowcases)

Prescription Tretinoin cream with OTC Cerave Acne Control Gel

• Ideal for those who struggle with clogged pores and blackheads

• Apply Acne Control Gel in the morning, followed with a moisturizer/sunscreen combo

• Apply Tretinoin cream in the evening, followed by moisturizer

Prescription Aczone cream with OTC La RochePosay Retinol B3 Serum

• Perfect for all my adult-female-acne strugglers

• Apply Aczone cream in the morning, followed by a moisturizer/sunscreen combo

• Apply Retinol Serum in the evening, followed by moisturizer

Prescription Clindamycin lotion with OTC Panoxyl Acne Foaming Wash

• Go-to routine for body acne

• Use Panoxyl wash daily in the shower on affected areas

• Apply Clindamycin lotion after shower

Pair any of these combinations with gentle cleanser twice a day and you’ll be well on your way to clear skin!
