# The Ordinary-focused skincare routine for acne-prone skin

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/brands/the-ordinary/skincare-routine/for/acne-prone-skin

The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Singapore.

A routine for acne-prone skin built around The Ordinary products, complemented by other brands where they fit better, for complete care.

Cleansers, toners, and moisturizers with [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/niacinamide) help calm breakouts and fade post-acne marks, while cleansing toners and masks with [salicylic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/salicylic-acid) clear out blackheads.

The morning routine prepares the skin for the day by cleaning off the night, hydrating, and protecting it, with sunscreen as its last step. The evening routine removes sunscreen, makeup, and the day's oil, then treats the skin while it rests away from the sun. The weekly routine takes the place of the evening routine once a week and adds deeper steps to help with breakouts, blackheads, and post-acne marks.
