QUESTION - I am having problems finding a skin care routine that works for my skin. I have mainly dry skin and slightly sensitive with some oilness, but not much. I occasionally suffer with breakouts, but mainly large pores and blackheads.

I find that most exfoliating products like Salicylic acid and glycolic acid are too irriatating and also leaves my skin too dry .Can you suggest anything?
Can you recommend a cleanser & moisturiser?


ANSWER - I would suggest using gentle exfoliating products to clear your pores like PHA's or Bionic PHA's

Polyhydroxy Acid (PHA's) - Gluconolactone is a highly moisturising exfoliant and gentle


For dry sensitive skin go for Neostrata PHA range

cleanse - NeoStrata Facial Cleanser - PHA 4

Moisturise - NeoStrata Daytime Protection Cream SPF 15 - PHA 10

NeoStrata Ultra Moisturising Face Cream - PHA 10

If you think your skin is oily dehydrated then go for Neostrata PHA Bionic Range
As this contains Gluconolactone and Lactobionic acid, which is even more hydrating.

cleanse - NeoStrata Facial Cleanser - PHA 4

Moisturise - NeoStrata Bionic Face Cream - PHA 12 or lotion

Hope that helps
