I currently use a few Face Reality products, but my routine is pretty minimal now that my acne has mostly cleared. I use the 2.5% Acne Med and 8% Mandelic Serum for maintenance, alongside basic products from drugstore brands (i.e. cleanser and moisturizer.) At this point, I really only break out around my cycle. I’m considering replacing the Acne Med with Skinbetter's AlphaRet Clearing Serum since I don't seem to need benzoyl peroxide every night anymore. I’ve used the regular AlphaRet Overnight Cream in the past, but I’m wondering whether the Clearing Serum would be a better fit for my acne-prone skin. The Overnight Cream was fine, I just never repurchased (although I would consider buying again because my skin can't handle tretinoin.) For reference, I'm 25, female, and my skin is dry but acne-prone. Has anyone either incorporated a Skin Better AlphaRet product (Clearing Serum OR Overnight Cream) into their Face Reality routine, or switched to SB completely?
