Any advice for a daily routine to keep my skin clean and acne free? Like what kind of products to use and what order?

Saw some youtube videos about skin care and they were complacated as hell. So is there any simple way to take care my skin on a day to day basis?

I've heard Proactive is good. I used the Generic equivalent for Retin-A and pay for it in case since my insurance doesn't cover it. Just need to find a dermatologist who give you a script and tell them you've used it in the past and it's worked will. The 0.01% clear gel works best for me and I can feel it rather than the 0.025% cream. There's also acne wash soap to help as well which I don't believe needs a script.

So it should be good to use an acne wash daily to wash my face. I have something called AcneFree which is like proactive, but i was not sure if that is meant to be used all the time when you don't have acne.

The soap wash is supposed to be supplemental. I haven't used it in a long time and just use the gel, so I'm not sure if that's changed.

Change your pillowcase everyday, or sleep with a towel on your pillow. That's where a lot of the dirt that causes acne comes from.
Avoid touching your face throughout the day
Drink lots of water

Sorry i don't know much about acne medicine. Everything I've tried just dried out the skin on my face which did nothing and may have made things worse. Keeping things that touch your face clean and keeping yourself and your skin hydrated (Google some foods that are good for skin too) is the best and most cost effective option

Thanks for the advice.
