Most acne advice is backwards. Here's what's actually sabotaging your skin:

1. Over-cleansing

Washing your face 3x a day? You're stripping your skin barrier. Your skin panics, produces MORE oil, and you break out worse. Twice a day, max. Gentle cleanser only.

2. Skipping moisturizer because your skin is "oily"

Oily skin still needs hydration. When you skip moisturizer, your skin overcompensates with sebum. Use a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer every single time.

3. Switching products every 2 weeks

Skincare isn't instant. Your skin needs 4-6 weeks to adjust to a new routine. If you're constantly switching, you'll never see results — and you might be triggering purging cycles over and over.

The fix? Keep it simple. Cleanser, serum, moisturizer. Consistent routine. That's it.

We built Glow Lab around these exact principles — science-backed products that work when you stick with them.
