Hey! Yuki fans...

This is a great, gentle, and effective basic routine for teens with combination/acne-prone skin. Here's a summary of the routine and some additional tips, keeping in mind the user's advice:

Morning Routine (if needed):

• Cleanse (Optional): If skin feels oily or congested in the morning, a splash of water or a very gentle cleanse with the Rovectin cleanser is sufficient. Avoid over-cleansing.
• Moisturize: Apply the Soon Jung Hydro Barrier Cream (look for the older formula in the jar).
• Protect: Apply Skin Aqua SPF.

Evening Routine:

• Cleanse: Cleanse with the Rovectin cleanser.
• Moisturize: Apply the Soon Jung Hydro Barrier Cream.

Key Product Recommendations:

• Cleanser: Rovectin Skin Essentials Conditioning Cleansing Lotion (or similar gentle, non-foaming cleanser without actives).
• Moisturizer: Soon Jung Hydro Barrier Cream (older formula in the jar if possible).
• SPF: Skin Aqua UV Super Moisture Milk (or similar lightweight, water-resistant sunscreen).

Important Considerations and Additional Tips:

• Simplicity is Key: Starting with a basic routine is excellent advice. It allows the skin to heal and adjust before introducing potentially irritating actives.
• No Harsh Actives in Cleansers: Daily exfoliation with actives in a cleanser can be too harsh and disrupt the skin barrier, especially for acne-prone skin. The focus should be on gentle cleansing.
• Double Cleansing for Water-Resistant SPF: The user correctly points out the need for double cleansing when using water-resistant sunscreen. An oil-based cleanser is crucial for effectively removing these products. If teens aren't using water-resistant SPF or makeup, double cleansing isn't necessary.
• Listen to Your Skin: This is the most crucial advice. Pay attention to how the skin reacts. Redness, irritation, or increased breakouts might indicate a product isn't suitable.
• Patch Testing: Before introducing any new product, especially if skin is sensitive, patch test on a small area (e.g., behind the ear or on the inner arm) for a few days to check for reactions.
• Hydration is Essential: Even oily skin needs hydration. The Soon Jung moisturizer is a good choice for balancing the skin without clogging pores.
• Sun Protection is Non-Negotiable: Daily sunscreen use is essential, especially for acne-prone skin, as some acne treatments can increase sun sensitivity.
• Patience is a Virtue: It takes time for skin to adjust to a new routine. Be patient and consistent for several weeks before evaluating the results.
• Consider a Dermatologist: If acne is severe or doesn't improve with this basic routine, consulting a dermatologist is always the best course of action. They can provide personalized recommendations and prescribe appropriate treatments.

This summarized version reinforces the original advice and provides additional context and tips for teens starting their skincare journey.
