Reddit mentions of Night Cream with Pro Retinol and Vitamins C & E by Olay Age Defying,Classic , Pack of 2

Been browsing my local drugstore for the recommended ScA products they might have. This is the only BHA exfoliant that they have. Would it do well to prevent very mild acne (1-2 active pimples at a time) and treat PIH for oily/combination skin?

BACKGROUND: I'm new to the world of skin care. I've never had a serious skin care routine before other than applying some acne creams a few years back when my acne was pretty bad. Now my skin is not terrible, but at age 20 I've had it with any sort of acne and want clear skin.

My skin is oily. I don't know if its very oily or fairly oily because I don't know what really oily skin is like or what a fairly oily skin is like. If I had to make a guess I'd say fairly or decently oily...sorry if that's vague.

This is what my skin looks like on an average day.

[This] (http://imgur.com/a/fGqbn) is what my skin looks like when it breaks out just a bit.

I'm showing you these because I read the FAQ and Wiki and I've narrowed my choices for cleansers, exfoliants, and moisturizers but I'm not sure which one to buy. For each category, this is what I've narrowed it down to.

CLEANSERS

• CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser
  
  
• Simple Refreshing Facial Wash Gel
  
  
• Neutrogena Ultra Gentle Daily Cleanser
  
  
• Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser
  
  EXFOLIANTS
  
  
• Stridex Daily Care Acne Pads with Salicylic Acid, Maximum Strength
  
  
• Neutragena Rapid Clear Acne Defense Face Lotion
  
  
• Olay Age Defying Classic Night Face Cream
  
  MOISTURIZERS
  
  
• CeraVe Facial Moisturizing Lotion AM SPF 30
  
  
• Olay Complete Defence Daily UV Moisturising Lotion SPF 30+
  
  
• Paula's Choice Clear Ultra-Light Daily Fluid SPF 30+
  
  
• Peter Thomas Roth Max Sheer All Day Moisture Defense Lotion SPF 30
  
  
  MY QUESTION: Are they all sort of the same? Based on what I told you about my skin, which product from each category should I get? Should I get something that's not on the list? This list is based on the Recommended Routine, so maybe there's something that's not on it that you think would work better. Any help would be really appreciated. I'm trying to avoid having to go through too much trial and error since as a college student I'm slightly broke, so I'm trying to make an informed purchase. Also, sunscreen is highly recommended if you exfoliate, but if the moisturizer has SPF does that mean I don't need to buy sunscreen? Thank you guys in advance.

Issue: Getting on the wagon, need help and recommendations/etc.

Skin Type: Oily, Blemish-Prone (Not completely sure, pics attached below can give more info/etc. I sweat like a pedo in daycare and shine^bright^like^a^diamond, so there's that.)

Previous Routine/Experience?: Only skin routine or care I do is washing my face with water couple times throughout the day. I used this cleanser/whatev they gave us at school for 4 or so months (PM only) half a year ago (Was quite harsh, but kinda adjusted to it. I think?), and that's about it.

About: Young lad, live in [very] hot environment (Soon to move out, <1year) and lead an active lifestyle. Crazy beakouts couple years ago coupled with cocaine hands got my face fucked up for life.

Location: UAE, will be buying my shit from Amazon US and shipping it here. Don't worry too much about this unless you know some local stuff that's of appropriate price.

///Routine

Cleanser:
Went with the recommendations and chose Cerave Foaming Facial Cleanser, 12oz. Best price, ships here, generally well received. Not much.

Moisturizer:
Went with CeraVe Moisturizing Cream w/ Pump, 16z. Good price, ships, got a pump (Hey!), well received. Same old.

Sunscreen:
Sweat a lot and lead an active lifestyle, so need a waterproof sunscreen for the morning-noon/school period. Considered a lot of options, but I constricted it to these as they are the only ones that are waterproof, ship here and are priced reasonably (Not so).
However, I will surely not get anything with Octinoxate due to it's link with Endocrine disturbances (Something which I need very less of, especially currently) and all. Will also not get the All-Chemical Paula's Choice because it's just fucked.
That leaves the EltaMD (Which does not ship now. Things just keep getting worse and worse man) and the CeraVe. The CeraVe has a greasy texture that doesn't go away (Or so they say) and leaves a very pronounced white tint, and the EltaMD has better UVA protection and is tinted to somewhat my skin tone, so I decided to get it. If you have any suggestions/recommendations/etc., please do drop them below.

Exfoliant:
Went with a BHA cause it's simpler and is recommended for oily skin. Problem is I'm afraid Stridex Maximum Strength Pads will be too harsh and unusable (Big no-no, can't return it and shipping rates are crazy).
Neutrogena Rapid Clear Acne Defense Face Lotion, 1.7oz and Olay Age Defying Classic Night Cream, 2oz ship here too but I don't know man.

OCM:
To remove waterproof sunscreen not else. Found this quite cheap baby oil called Corine De Farme Baby Massage Body Oil (Ingredients: Paraffinum Liquidum, Parfum, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil), but I honestly don't know anything about this so I just want some input.


AM: Cleanse->Moisturize->Put sunscreen

PM: OCM/Remove sunscreen->Cleanse->Exfoliate->Moisturize

Hi all.

  Also, any recommendations for a body wash for the shower?

I have relatively nice skin, although it is a little bit oily when its very humid outside. A couple months back I started applying Cetaphil cleanser daily as well as some random Nivea moisturizing cream. My skin looks better and healthier but I still get bumps on my forehead and sometimes pimples on the side of my face.

Today I went out and bought some moisturizing cream with 15 SPF and a BHA exfoliant (at least I think so...)

Here's my concern: I wanted to buy the Olay Age Defying Classic Nightcream but couldn't find it, and so I bought the closest thing I could find: this

It says beta hydroxy complex on it and so I assume it is a BHA. It seems to be the same thing as what I found in the sidebar except that it is not a night cream. Is that okay?

My routine would look something like this.

AM:

• Cetaphil daily cleanser
  
• Lubriderm moisturizer 15 SPF
  
  PM:
  
  
• Cetaphil daily cleaner
  
• Olay Age defying daily renewal cream (BHA)
  
• Nivea facial moisturizer
  
  How does that look? Thanks :)

I have the world's worst skincare routine because I don't keep up on it half as well as I should. For reference, I have relatively normal skin with a little oiliness in the T-zone but nothing too crazy. The gist of my "routine" is:

• wash face with Clean n Clear sensitive skin face wash in shower
  
• moisturize after I get out of the shower (while skin is still damp) with Trader Joe's Enrich moisturizer
  
• when I remember, slather on either Pond's anti-wrinkle cream (lactic acid) or this Olay night cream (salicylic acid) at night a few times a week
  
• ordered a Makeup Eraser thanks to their promo but until that gets here I'm using Huggies extra-gentle baby wipes to take off my makeup, also
  
  My skin is decent with minimal acne and feels pretty moisturized? I dunno, I'm so bad at routines because I have the attention span of a squirrel. I'm getting better at being a little more consistent, but anything past the face wash and moisturizer (since I do in/after the shower) is kinda hazy.
