It all depends on how often you're using these products. If you're cleansing twice a day, you're overcleansing. You dont need to re-cleanse your skin in the morning if you've cleansed at night. Nothing happened to your skin at night that requires you to clean it again... in the morning pat on some cool tepid water, some toner, a serum if you use it, and moisturizer and SPF.

Also you list two cleansers...were you alternating them? Unless you precleanse with an oil, remove it, then apply a regular cleanser, you never need to cleanse twice. IMO. The benzoyl peroxide is the biggest cause for overdrying your skin that I can see from your routine..so make sure you're using a gentle cleanser, not exfoliating everyday (I think the Microfoliant is harsh anyway) and you should probably only use the BP at night.

Good luck, ask any questions you want of me if you'd like.
