yo gng

so a few hours ago i posted here saying i never took care of my skin or looks. ive been reading all the replies and im starting a real routine.
quick about me: im 16, oily skin, mild acne (a few spots on my cheeks and chin). im on a diet + gym + walking to lose weight and trying to fix my sleep too.

what im gonna buy:
- cerave foaming cleanser (cetaphil gentle cleanser if i cant find it)
- biore uv aqua rich sunscreen (or neutrogena invisible spf 40)
- a light moisturizer, but idk which one yet

routine:
morning: cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen
night: cleanser, moisturizer

im not touching tret or azelaic acid for now, gonna see how my skin reacts to the basics for like 6-8 weeks first. if the acne doesnt improve ill go to a dermatologist.

2 questions:
1. is this enough for smn who js started or am i missing smth?
2. which light moisturizer would u recommend for oily skin? budget ones preferred ofc

id like to get more tips thank you

Thats enough, but youre not going to get the results you're probably looking for

As someone with incredibly oily skin I'd recommend curology gel moisturizer

i js want a clean skin tbh cuz the rest is gonna depend on me and how imma lose weight. i hope my facial skin gonna be good tho

def add something like tret later


yeah makes sense, ill start with the basics first and add tret later. gonna see a derm for it since im 16. i think the basics will be enough for a healthy skin but not enough to clear the current acne which is not even much only a bit but ill prolly get more in the future but FOR NOW this is enough ig, but prolly it'll be enough to have "no acne" when i hopefully add tret in the future
also i live in italy so the curology moisturizer u recommended will prolly be hard to find here, ill look for a similar light gel one at the pharmacy. thanks for ur suggestions tho <3
