About

It’s still too early to tell with confidence, but my acne spot is healing well, and my skin is less dull. I still have dry areas occasionally and would like to see improvement in tone evenness & fi...

Morning Routine

Face Cleanser

Step 1

Belif

Aqua Bomb Jelly Cleanser

Face Cleanser •

Used every day

I don’t usually like scented skincare, but this product’s scent is genuinely soothing. It’s very gentle and doesn’t leave my face dry.

Wait a couple min after washing face to put treatments or serums

Succinic Acid Acne Treatment

Region: Europe

Facial Treatment •

Used as needed

It’s difficult to know what worked (I used an extractor tool, micropoint salicylic acid patches, and hydrocolloid patches too) but i have continued with this and the spot is healing well. No irritation

Wait couple mins after washing to use

IIRC Vit C takes some time to show improvement. I don’t see any major changes yet, but this isn’t irritating me and the formulation is easy to apply.

Wait for treatment to dry and/or a couple min after washing face to apply

There isn’t any dramatic change, but I notice my undereyes look a little less pronounced after my AM skincare. Could be this, could be my attitude. But it feels nice and gives moisture with no irritation.

Ceramidin™ Skin Barrier Moisturizing Cream

General Moisturizer •

Used every day

I used this on my original go-around with a skincare hyperfixation. It’s helped to keep my skin smooth in the winter but I think I want some lighter moisture in my routine, especially for other seasons. Still great though

Sunscreen

Step 6

Shiseido

Urban Environment Sun Dual Care Oil-Free Sunscreen SPF 42

Sunscreen •

Used every day

Overall, a good sunscreen. Works well under the bb cream I like, absorbs relatively quickly, doesn’t irritate me, and gives me decent sun protection.

Evening Routine

Makeup Remover

Used as needed

Gentle, but breaks down makeup very well. Long-loved favorite

KORRES Greek Yoghurt Foaming Cream Cleanser

KORRES

Greek Yoghurt Foaming Cream Cleanser

Face Cleanser •

Used every day

I have an older formulation that I found unopened in the bottom of my storage. It does a good job, but it is very mildly irritating, and I think once it’s empty I’ll swap for something without LA since I have that in my routine already.

Used on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays

Another previous/current love. Skin is smoother and it doesn’t irritate me too much. The smell is something though.

No Lactic Acid on days with Tretinoin. Working up to Tu/Th/F/Su
Wait a couple min after wash & between acid and moisturizer

General Moisturizer

Step 5

Belif

The True Cream Moisturizing Bomb

General Moisturizer •

Used every day

Another current/previous love. It’s soothing, moisturizing, and absorbs quickly.

Usually mixed with an oil, currently Sea Buckthorn Seed Oil.

I’m not 100% sure about this oil. I would prefer a face oil from a known skincare brand. No irritation or issues though.

Mixed with Belif True Cream Moisturizing Bomb.
