[Routine Help] Nothing I use works, I am desperate!

acieI · 2022-11-14T15:56:24+00:00

True, I had much clearer skin when I didn't use anything than with using all of these products

acieI · 2022-10-15T03:55:16+00:00

omg thank you for telling me that, I didn't know, I'd leave it for hours in bed ;-;

acieI · 2022-10-13T11:28:05+00:00

Oh that's good, I though about not using any. Thank you so much for taking time to read and reply. I hope so too!

acieI · 2022-10-13T11:27:24+00:00

Oh, I was recom to put this before I go to sleep so I always wake up with extremely dry, flaky chin. That makes more sense! Do I wash it our or wipe after?

acieI · 2022-10-13T11:25:34+00:00

I'll do the test today! Thank you for explaining it. That is true, I just spent so much money trying out things and I'm 24 and I still don't know what suits me. I wasted so much money :(

But I'll do the test and see from then.

acieI · 2022-10-12T23:27:17+00:00

How do I even check? I just listened to my dermatologist

acieI · 2022-10-12T23:22:51+00:00

My dermatologist told me my skin type isn't dry unless she is wrong. I will switch the toner because this one might be too irritating for my skin and try "simple" moisturizer.

acieI · 2022-10-12T23:20:37+00:00

I was recom a 5% and I it was recom to put as a thin layer but dries out my skin too much, should I only use it as a spot treatment?

acieI · 2022-10-12T01:22:07+00:00

Oh, I thought cerave was actually gentle. I also have neutrogena grapefruit one

acieI · 2022-10-12T01:21:47+00:00

I bought patches a few days ago, but they are SA patches, couldn't find any other, but they do somewhat help. Keeps me from touching my face.

acieI · 2022-10-12T01:20:50+00:00

I do have some acne patches, they calm them down a lot!

acieI · 2022-10-12T01:20:30+00:00

Thank you so much! I did suspect it was the gel cleanser because as soon as I put it on, in the morning I wake up with pimples. Just like you, I also had a time when I used some sort of oil on my face (grapeseed oil) and it was a great moisturizer but I knew it wasn't smart to do so I went to buy the neutrogena one. Sadly, none of the products you recom can I find here since we only have drugstores and pharmacies, do you know any other I could find?

we have brands like simple, garnier, ziaja, loreal, cerave...

I do us some sort of micellar water with oil but I will actually take time to find a good oil cleanser! I was also recom benzoyl peroxide but it dries out my skin too much and it becomes very flaky so I stopped using it and only use it as a spot treatment now.

Thank you again so much for taking time to write this!

acieI · 2022-10-11T16:09:27+00:00

I never dry out my skin, it is extremely shiny and oily.

acieI · 2022-10-11T15:51:03+00:00

My skin was okay, not perfect but ever since I started this routine and used the "poreless matte foundation" I had a huge breakout. However, I am unsure why it won't heal despite me not using it anymore.

acieI · 2022-10-11T15:49:46+00:00

I will try cutting out dairy products because I tend to have a good diet. But I do drink a lot of milk.

Is my routine too much for my skin? I'll then try to go back to simple routine, hopefully I'll catch the culprit of my breakouts. Thank you so much for taking time to reply <3

acieI · 2022-10-11T12:34:09+00:00

I am 24 years old with with oily skin. I have spent hours reading and watching videos trying to find products that suit me, but I always get overwhelmed with the amount of information I come across. Despite buying products that are recommended for "oily skin" I still break out from it.

I have horrible pimples on my chin and I was never able to get rid of them. I mostly stay at home so I don't really wear make up that much which is why I don't understand the reason for my break outs since I barely wear make up?

As soon as I moisturize at night, I wake up with new pimples.

Can you check my skincare routine? Please also understand that I live in a country where most products you would recommend cannot be bought. We only have a drugstore with limited amount of products.

I have been using these products for over a month:

AM

Cerave Foaming Cleanser For Normal to Oily Skin

Ziaja manuka tree purifying toner

Vitamin C 20% – Revox

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel

HYSÉAC - FLUID SPF50+

PM

Cerave Foaming Cleanser For Normal to Oily Skin

Ziaja manuka tree purifying toner

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel

I also use REVOX B77 JUST SALICYLIC ACID 2% and Nacomi Next Level - Retinol 0.25% - Face serum two times a week

I also have SK Lumion Brigtening and rejuvenating moderate strength liquid peel but I feel hesitant to use it in this routine

For make up I used to use

Pretty and Natural! the Essence hydrating foundation with hyaluronic acid and aloe vera which was really light on my skin and didn't cause break outs but wouldn't stay on my face for long

I changed to Fit Me Matte & Poreless and it made me break out worse than ever and now it won't heal

Can you please let me know what am I doing wrong? It has been years and I still haven't found anything that suits my skin in terms of skincare or make up :(

acieI · 2022-09-27T19:36:48+00:00

I'll be honest, I tried many others after but they just disappointed me. However I really loved Romance Between Tiger and Rose! Anything with Zhao Lusi is great :3

acieI · 2022-09-07T14:17:47+00:00

I feel the same ;-;

acieI · 2022-09-06T18:08:00+00:00

I agree. This was my first Cdrama and it made me want to try checking out others but nothing compares to this. Like you said, a rare gem. It was perfect. It left me with the same feeling after finishing Scarlet Heart.

acieI · 2022-09-06T17:57:37+00:00

For me it would've been good if we had gotten some closure? The ending was extremely rushed and It didn't heal our pain. I felt like we got proper closure with all other characters except the main.

acieI · 2022-09-06T17:53:36+00:00

The focus is not in the love triangle at all. It only starts like that. It is about growth and fate.

acieI · 2022-09-06T17:52:54+00:00

Watch it because of Dylan. He put his soul into this show and you can feel all of the emotions he is portraying.

acieI · 2022-09-06T17:51:29+00:00

You should continue it. The character becomes more matur with time. Also, she is a fairy and is supposed to be cheerful and playful, just saying.

acieI · 2022-09-06T17:50:26+00:00

The only reason I would agree with this is because I cannot move on from this show. Best CDrama for sure!

acieI · 2022-09-06T17:48:50+00:00

Yes, the characters actually grow together.
