TL;DR

For blackheads, open pores, and red pimples on dry skin, this regime uses CeraVe Blemish Control Gel (PM, 2% Salicylic Acid, Niacinamide, Glycolic Acid), alongside CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser, CeraVe AM Facial Moisturising Lotion with SPF 50, and CeraVe Moisturising Lotion, which you can use in a sandwich method if the salicylic acid makes your skin dry.

    Since you have blackheads, it's best to avoid unnecessary layering of products. Just wash your face and apply this sunscreen, as it hydrates and protects your skin. However, if your skin feels dry after using salicylic acid at night, you can apply a moisturiser before applying this sunscreen.
