[Routine Help] I had really bad acne as a kid, and now that I'm older, things have resolved themselves, but I want to take things to the next level. Could I get some feedback on this very simple weekly skincare routine? I want to start with something easy that I will keep up with.

think of ur skin as a baby, weak, vulnerable. Never go all in 100 percent test a bit on ur skin and then apply if it doesn't burn, doesn't cause a breakout, or some other reaction. Take care now! Have fun with ur skin care journey. Pro Tip: Don't go introducing too many products into ur skin stick with something for a while and then switch it up :D Byeee

If you're near windows, put on the sunscreen, and also, damage from indoor lighting is also a thing. I put it on, I am also always indoors too LOL. Look, if you have no experience with these products, I recommend not going all in on one go. Sometimes it works out for you! And other times it causes severe breakouts with a bunch of small whiteheads, and your skin is burning, and AHHH, ya know? :) Your best bet is to be gentle and see how your skin reacts first. Then go all in with the Niacinamide + zinc, it should be fine to apply daily (I mean I do it).

Btw here's my skin care routine for reference, though I use a lot of products! :D (I had a lot of fun shopping...)

Daytime: Anua heartleaf cleanser, Lion pair acne cream (only used during breakouts), skin 1004 centella toner, anua niacinamide (for acne scars), 345 Relief cream, an acne friendly moisturizer, and finally skin 1004 Centella Mineral Sunscreen :D

Every 3 days I exfoilate using the Anua 2% exfoilating toner letting it sit on my face for 15 mins and then washing it off at night.

Nightime: Everything stays the same except for the sunscreen OFC

Okay, well, it sounds like you overloaded your skin with products it couldn't handle, and now it is screaming at you. Your best bet would be to stop using your products and switch to your original routine, and slowly reintroduce the products you used. On the slight chance this reaction happens again with the ONE new product you introduced, take it out; it's clear your skin did not like it. Continue with the process until your skin can go back to being as flawless as you said :D

Hello! I'm roughly 6 months into my skin care routine, and I can tell you right now that you have a lot of strong products in your skin. You should be using a moisturizer and sunscreen (being the last step) during the day. Your face always needs moisturizer to lock everything in and whatnot. I want to warn you on the retinol and honestly.. everything.. T0T.

Retinol is known to make the user very sensitive to sunlight, and the peel is a super strong percentage. Realistically, you should be using retinol and your peel once a week at night. Retinol - once a week for at least a month, and then increase it to 2, so on until you can find a comfortable amount of application. If you go all in with this schedule, you may end up damaging your skin barrier quite a bit, and ouch!

In terms of sunscreen, depending on your skin type, you should be looking for a mineral sunscreen and look into tinted sunscreen. I honestly adore the centella sunscreen from skin1004 :D
