This combo focuses on effectively treating blackheads on the nose and face, unclogging pores, and improving skin texture.

1. Glycolic Acid 7% Toning Solution

• How it works: This exfoliating toner removes dead skin cells and reduces the buildup that causes blackheads.
• How to use:
  1. Use at night on clean, dry skin.
  2. Soak a cotton pad with the toner and gently swipe it over your face, avoiding the eye area.
  3. Start by using it 2–3 times a week, then increase to every other night if tolerated.

2. Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%

• How it works: Niacinamide regulates sebum production, reduces clogged pores, and prevents new blackheads.
• How to use:
  1. Apply a few drops on clean, dry skin after cleansing or toning.
  2. Gently pat it in until absorbed.
  3. Use daily, morning and night.

3. Salicylic Acid 2% Solution 

• How it works: Salicylic acid penetrates deep into the pores to dissolve excess oil and clear blackheads.
• How to use:
  1. Apply a thin layer to areas prone to blackheads (nose, chin, forehead) after cleansing or toning.
  2. Use 2–3 times a week initially, then increase as needed.
  3. Follow up with sunscreen during the day.

Routine Order:

1. Nighttime Routine:

   • Cleanser → Glycolic Acid Toning Solution → Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1%
   • Use Salicylic Acid only 2–3 times a week instead of glycolic acid.

2. Morning Routine:

   • Cleanser → Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% → Moisturizer → Sunscreen

Important Tips:

• Always patch test before starting a new product.
• Use sunscreen daily when using exfoliating acids to prevent sun sensitivity.
• Avoid layering glycolic acid and salicylic acid in the same routine to prevent irritation.

This combo works synergistically to clear blackheads, control oil, and refine skin texture!
