Learn about your skin

My starting point for acne and diet: try balanced meals, not a “hormone-balancing” diet.

Niacinamide goes after cleanser and before moisturizer.

My advice after cardio: wash gently, treat only what needs treatment, and moisturize.

I’d check the whole formula before blaming one ingredient for breakouts.

My take: soothe irritated skin without replacing acne treatment.

My starting advice: choose 2–5% niacinamide for shine and barrier support, or salicylic acid for blackheads and clogged pores.

My takeaway: azelaic acid is better supported for rosacea bumps than for redness alone.

Sulfur can help with oily skin and mild acne, but it usually works best as a side option, not the main treatment.

Food will not clear acne by itself, but it can help support calmer-looking skin.
