I have really been struggling with harmonal acne and acne scars the past few months. Are there any SN products that would help?

I have been using African Black Soap at night and a lactic acid cleanser in the morning. I use witch hazel as a toner and jojoba oil or shea butter as a moisturizer. Thanks for your help!

Also, I have combo skin that leans toward oily but recently has been a little dry. I have always had harmonal acne but the past month or so has been awful.

My guess, and it is just a guess, is that your skin is dehydrated. The moisturizers you are using are more oils. You need some water component in there. Maybe try the Green Tea & Aloe serum after cleansing and before your oils.

I don't recommend trying too may things at once, but eventually you might want to add BHA Toner.
