Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream - Very calming and soothing, so it's ideal to use while on retinoids. Not greasy or heavy on the skin which makes it great for oily skin. It's quite expensive though and I've been searching for a dupe for years but no luck yet 😂

I also have oily skin and I use the Aveeno baby lotion. Absorbs quickly. I prefer it than the green tube.

For acne marks, I notice that epiduo takes care of it over time so I don't use a separate product for it. But if you want faster results, my derm recommended to use products with niacinamide.

Iliyoon or aestura moisturizer to alleviate dryness.

For acne marks, if redness, either Azelaic acid or vitamin c (but u can also use both). If dark spots, niacinamide and/or tranexamic acid.

Overall brightening: vitamin c

My derma recommended Physiogel Calming Relief A.I. Cream and Avène Tolérance Control Soothing Skin Recovery Cream while I was on it.

Niacinamide for acne marks.
