Hi,Although it would be better to assess you face to face the following would be a general starting point for your concerns. My personal preference is ZO skin health, please do see a health care professional for an assessment and monitoring:Exfoliating cleanser Exfoliating polish scrubOil control toning pads Daily power defence day creamDaily sheer sunscreen Wrinkle and texture repair nightcream (start slowly and with caution)You may later consider adding the pore refiner serum and acne products. I hope thats helps. Kind regards, Dr Ana

For your skin type, I would strongly recommend using medical grade skin care products such as ZO or Epionce.   For ZO, Exfoliating Cleanser, Exfoliating Polish (which is a scrub), Complexion Renewal Pads, Instant Pore Refiner and Renewal Cream is a great regimen.  For Epionce, the Lytic Gel Cleanser, Lytic Sport, and Renewal Lite Lotion with Purifying Spot Gel for break outs is another great regimen.  Having regular in office treatments such as yearly Halo (this is a fantastic procedure for pores), monthly BBL Forever Young treatments, HydraFacials or even chemical peels.  All of these can help.  Make sure you find an office you trust and establish a relationship with a good esthetician.
