Exfoliate-Paula's Choice 1% BHA Lotion
Benzoyl Peroxide-Acne Fighting Solution (2.5%)

In the morning I:

Toner-biotherm stuff again (couldn't live without it!)
exfoliate- Ultima 2 Skin Renewing Toner w/ 2% BHA Liquid (I don't think it's as strong as the Paula's Choice stuff)

I have a paula's choice moustirizer that was recommended for dry skin with oily spots (which is me) and it is not moustirizing enough, so I am a bad girl and just use cheapo Olay Sensitive Skin Lotion...I don't think it hurts my skin but it doesn't really help it either other than making it silky-soft.
The Neutro Extra Gentle is not that gentle. Try the Olay Sensitive Foaming instead. The cheapo Olay skin lotion is a nice formulation. The price doesn't say anything about qualtity! Have you tried the Cetaphil with SPF? It also has a good PPD (UVA protection), if you avoid the sun it's a nice sunscreen.
If the pH of the Ultima is correct (and I recall it to be), it's as strong as the PC, but PC's formulation is nicer.
