I posted this in another sub but most of the products are Asian so wanted to share here too! My skin has improved a lot recently and my sibling asked me for my routine so I made this graphic using a template on Canva. Hopefully that still counts as OC, but happy to change the flair if not!
Skin concerns: Acne, redness, and anti-aging.
Things not mentioned in graphic: If needed, I’ll use Rohto Melano CC Vitamin C to help fade post-acne hyperpigmentation spots before the “toner” step. I use The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution (the blood red one that burns and you only leave on for max 10 mins) on congested/textured areas once a week on a night I DO NOT use retinol, but I would just avoid using this completely when starting other actives, retinol, etc. When I feel fancy (aka when I remember once every month or two) I’ll use a Torriden or Round Lab sheet mask (Dr. Jart Ceramidin mask is HG but not at $10/pc)! Also, want to flag that this specific Olay retinol is exclusive to Costco. They have a Retinol24 version widely available everywhere (also purple jar) but I believe the formulation is slightly different and it costs more. I have Probioderm retinol that I want to try so if I switch it’ll be a full AB routine! Also also, I’m not tied to the cleansers and looking for recs! It’s just what I have and I keep one in my shower and one on the sink which is why they’re different hehe. I’m not an expert by any means, but wanted to share in case it might help someone facing similar struggles!
