A Makeup Artists Night Skincare Routine for Treating Hormonal Acne

I'm a makeup artist of over 5 years and specialise in skincare. I'm all about that fresh, dewy, glowing healthy-looking skin.

I'm Caitlin, I'm a part of the Adore Beauty customer service team. This is my evening skincare routine for treating my dry and acne prone skin.

How Do I Find the Best Products for Treating My Hormonal Acne and Dry Skin?

One of the biggest struggles with finding the best products for my dry and acne prone skin is that most products for treating hormonal acne are targeted to oily skin types. These products are formulated to reduce oil production meaning they dry out the skin - no thanks!

So when creating my skin care routine I've sorted out acne treating products that contain hydrating ingredients so I can clear up and treat my hormonal acne and still have juicy, glowy skin.

The Night-Time Skincare Routine that Works Best for My Hormonal Acne

Skinceuticals is a favourite at Adore Beauty. SkinCeuticals Blemish + Age Defense Serum has 2% Dioic acid which helps to reduce sebum production, fights acne-causing bacteria, and reduces post-inflammatory discolouration, 0.3% Capryloyl salicylic acid which provides precise and even cell-by-cell exfoliation to decongest clogged pores, 1.5% Salicylic acid which refines pores and helps reduce acne, 3.5% Glycolic acid & 0.5% citric acids which aids to accelerate exfoliation.

On alternating nights, I like to change it up a bit and use either the Alpha-H Liquid Gold 100mL or Aspect Probiotic Mask 118ml – I use these both 2-3 times a night.

Alpha-H Liquid Gold 100mL is another favourite Adore Beauty and all round cult classic product. It works to soothe and brighten the skin whilst retaining moisture levels for improved skin texture and clarity. The AHAs resurface skin and minimise the appearance of fine, lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation. Glycolic Acid penetrates the skin to accelerate skin cell turnover and remove impurities.
