Disclaimer: Not trying to promote anything—just sharing something I’ve been testing that actually helped me simplify my routine. You don’t need to use it if you don’t want to. It’s a small app, and I’ve just found it randomly.
I used to layer 5+ products, mostly exfoliants and cleanser. One reason for that is because i used to have a lot of problem in my skin, including redness, acne, hyperpigmentation, dark circles and so on, I hope by using different products i can fix all the problems. The other reason is because of the marketing hype. There are many products out there that are too attractive to resist. Sometimes I buy one certain product for no reason just because it has a nice packaging.
Last month I tried simplifying everything. Just scanned my face once a day using this app, which tracks my oil, redness, pores, etc. by scanning my face and adjusted my routine.
The advice it gave me basically is over-cleansing, using too many exfoliants, and ignoring moisture. And it provides some option that I can choose from. The picture is the products it recommends.
I have some knowledge about skincare but basically at the level of knowing what does certain ingredient works to my skin. That’s why I used to put on a lot on my skin. I used this is because it saved my time and money(less guesswork). Someone might say it’s a scam but tbh, if you have really severe skin problem, you should see derm. But if you just want to save time and money like me, you can try this. The app is called Cutis skincare.
