i don’t react to much at all, although proactiv dried my skin to hell and back when i used it once as a preteen. not terribly fond of essential oils and fragrance, but i’m usually fine with them if they’re low on the ingredients list.
i tend to buy products based on whichever is currently the best deal. this inevitably leads to me trying tons of different products (especially sunscreens), hence the obscene amount of ‘alternating’ products in some of my routines.
…ok, my ADHD probably plays a role in this as well

my skin may be pretty ‘normal’, but i struggled with acne for a long time. i eventually started accutane, which took some time to work, but my skin eventually cleared up. i never struggle with acne anymore, apart from the occasional small pimple that goes away after a couple of days.
much of my post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation has faded away, but i’m still working on achieving the clearest skin i can possibly have.

here’s a good, affordable routine for young people (with more normal/dry skin) based (mostly) on products i’ve used. this is based on products that are available to ship to the U.S., but these products are available in many other countries as well (most of them aren’t even American in origin).

despite the name, this routine would probably work great even if you’re too old to date Leonardo DiCaprio. just make sure to add/remove products with certain purposes based on your needs (like anti-aging or acne).
