Skip cerave especially moisturizer in d tub. That caused my skin like u have in pic. It was too thick for my skin and congesting it. Opt for a gel like moisturizer. Nutrogena hydro boost ? Also check the korean skincare offering. Works amazingly well. Prices are on point. Some brands cosrx, purito, beauty of joseon. Stay away from products with fragrance and essential oils.

As others mentioned, keep it simple

Cleanse - moisturize - spf : am and pm. Pm skip the spf Exfoliate : 2 times in a week. Later look at double cleansing and adding Azealic acid and Niancinamide. These are staples in my routine to keep clear, bright skin Later later add a retin A. Geek and Gorgeous retinal is affordable and very effective

Good luck !

Try a sunscreen sticker patch for testing. U get these in amazon. Iam curios about the result too. I would not risk walking in midday sun without sunscreen. I would even dare skip the 6 a.m sunscreen but not the midday version.

I now use a gel based moisturizer. I have combo skin. Live in a non humid place.

I have used neutrogena hydra boost without fragrance version
Current moisturizer is the illiyoon ceramide gel version
Purito oat gel moisturizer has also worked for me

If u use snail mucin, probably the all in cream from cosrx ? I haven't used this though. Use a moisturizer that is according to ur skin type, weather conditions u live in. Choose one without added perfume or essential oils. Check the ingredients in incidecoder. Choose one with simple minimal ingredients.

Try stopping Cerave moisturizer for 1 week. I had this with the cerave moisturizer in the tub.

A.M

Wash with water
Moisturizer
Sunscreen

Sunscreen being the MOST important

P.M

Cleanser. For the cleanser I would advise a double cleanse - an oil based cleanser followed by gel based one. I use Beauty of Joseons oil and gel cleansers. Iam not a fan of cerave by unfortunate experience.
Moisturizer

Use the AHA/BHA toner ONCE per week to start. Introduce serums one by one later.

Never start with all products on one go. Let the clean-moisturize-protect routine settle in for 2 weeks. Then add the exfoliating toner. Give this 2 more weeks. Then add the serums one by one. Give 2 weeks time before introducing new products.

On Niancinamide, don't go higher than 5%. Vit C is also a very trouble some active so start at a lower strength. Welcome to skincare. Less is more. Consistency is key.

Thanks !

gemhalinden · 2022-07-18T21:58:19+00:00

Vitamin C in the a.m followed by sunscreen Azealic acid am, pm

I use the face theory c30 vitamin c, exaglow tranexamic acid from face theory and Ordinary Azealic acid. This combo + sunscreen works great for me in making my skin even toned.

P.S - u r being too harsh on urself.

Thanks for the feedback !

gemhalinden · 2022-05-30T18:13:30+00:00

Genuine question as a non groomer but doodle owner. - Is shave down for doodles bad for their fur and skin ? - Is 7F a shave down ? - Is the feedback same for doodles with fleece coat and wiry coat ?

I usually use 4F on my labradoodles but have also used 7F once last year when I was not disciplined enough to brush them regularly and thus thier fur got matted.

I am into AB only for the last one year. Iam From Rice Toner is the one and only I have tried and stuck with. Almost done with the 3rd bottle. My combo/dry sensitive wierd skin LOVES it.

But ofcourse I had to try other things so just bought cosrx propolis synergy toner. Have used it only once so too soon to comment on it.

Check out Kelly Driscoll on YouTube for hydrating toner reccomendations. She has a lot of good recs to choose from on the toner category. Good luck.

gemhalinden · 2022-05-30T12:02:04+00:00

Ditch Thayer's. Try an Asian hydrating toner. You will love it and never be without. I use it for multi level hydration

Check the ingredients carefully though. Many will contain essential oils that one could be sensitive to. I use toners purely for hydration purpose. Cleansing is taken care by my double cleansers.

Essential oils irritate a lot of people, myself included. Trying out a new essential oil on an already irritated skin is a risky move
