27 years old. Very religious in my routine and have slowly built it up since March to great results. Still trying to figure it out and what needs are and what works and doesn't. I love trying things. Have lots of skin issues to address so try lots of various things and use lots of different products.
Important note: I do not use all these products every day and for face masks I alternate daily as scheduled below and also weekly and will address current skin needs when choosing on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Looks like a lot at night but really isn't just select one mask of the options. I could have put all the face masks in a different routine to simplify this one but I like having everything in one place. Also have 24k gold peel off masks will use as needed for skin (about once every two weeks) but those two aren't on here. Mondays and Thursdays I alternate with various sheet masks.
Schedule: Sundays and Wednesdays: exfoliate Mondays and Thursdays: hydration, hydration (sheet masks) Tuesdays and Fridays: pores, impurities, brightening; clay or peel off mask; could do sheet mask as needed Saturdays: choice day
Sensitive skin. Large pores (have shrunk but I think genetically they are large and only so much can be done). Deep, pitted acne marks/scars (so severe thought only thing that would work would be laser treatments but they have smoothed over and aren't near as deep or noticeable as they had been for years and years).
Have seen so much improvement with this regimen! It has been amazing the difference. My husband says how pretty I look daily now multiple times way more than used to (always has been complimentary) and says “whatever you’re doing is working.” And my mom repeatedly comments on how good my skin looks. Has made a huge difference! I am so surprised at the difference in my acne scars too!! But in total my skin looks so amazing now. Huge difference!

Caudalie’s product has worked much better as I haven’t always seen stellar results with this despite what people say. There is some but not enough to convince me to rebuy again. Not used as much recently. Want to use up but where fit unsure

Alternate with Burts Bee lip treatment as needed. Used once one at least nightly when do. Can use multiple times a night. Seems to do more than Burt’s Bee. Started Laneige now and that seems to do a lot, but this is pretty too
