My workout usually ends midday, around 3pm, I deal with severe acne and oily skin. Would this routine be okay? Trying to avoid over cleansing.

AM:
Water rinse
Moisturizer
SPF

Workout (3PM):
Gentle Hydrating Cleanser
Moisturizer

PM (11PM):
Water rinse
Epiduo Forte
Moisturizer

 

Would the same cleanser be too much at the PM routine as well? Its the Cerave Hydrating Cleanser, I also have a LRP hydrating cleanser, but I feel a bit mixed about it.

Few things I would mention:

1. SPF breaks people out. Like more often than not. Could you try a wide brimmed hat until you're completely clear and then add back the SPF and see if you stay clear?

2. Before you apply medication it's best to cleanse so the medication can absorb as much as possible. So I'd wash before your medication.

3. I've always worked out during the day a lot too and I just gently pat sweat dry from my face. No washing, no nothing. Sweat doesn't aggravate acne.

4. You said you're struggling with acne pretty bad. If what you're using doesn't get you completely clear, The Regimen will. It's always here for you. Also, the quiz might have some interesting lifestyle info for you.
