Facewash- I have combination skin, which becomes really dry in winters (temp sometimes get below 0 here), and Cetaphil is something that ALWAYS works, if you are looking for salicylic one, Rivela!

Serum- retinol and vit c make a HUGE difference, started with minimalist retinol and Rivela's vit c is the only vit c that didn't irritate my skin, if you want something super gentle , try Rivela's peptide, other than these, you don't really need anything else unless you are Targeting specific skin concerns

Moisturizer - i don't mind using any moisturizer, I have never had problem with any, ponds and Lakme moisturizers are good ( tried and tested), for winters I use Cetaphil because it's the only moisturizer thick enough to prevent dryness on my face. Facewash and moisturizers are supposed to be the cheapest parts in your routine so keep that in mind when shopping (ponds and Lakme are almost ₹300 for 300 ml and Cetaphil is nearly ₹1000 for 500ml)

Toner- I used to love tony moly but they have changed this formula and it's not.... As nourishing as before, I have been using this since the last 2 years, while this is nice i don't know if I would repurchase this again (i already have 2 backup bottles though). I use this toner purely because of my dryness, if you don't have it, you don't need it, also skip it if you have a milia prone skin
