Build Me A Routine, /r/AsianBeauty! Please refrain from just stating a skin concern then expecting people to build a routine from scratch. It is important to do due diligence in understanding your skin type and needs. Learn more here in The New User Guide. You can also search the subreddit here.
Non-AB questions or comments. Having non-AB products in your routine is totally fine! Getting specific advice/recommendations is not allowed, though welcomed in our Daily Anything Goes thread. See our rules on non-AB here
Rude comments and snark. Fairly self explanatory but for more detail, check out our Posting Guidelines
When directing someone to the sidebar provide specific links. i.e. for someone asking about Allergies or Beginner Guides, link them to the specific subsections within AB University, rather than saying it’s in the sidebar.
Finally, a reminder that no one is obligated to answer your questions. If you have repeatedly asked the same question without a response, it may be best to review and see if it can be reworded or if the information is already in the thread or readily available in the sidebar materials.
Remember that all skincare is individual and Your Mileage May Vary with recommendations. We are enthusiasts, not doctors, and we cannot provide you with medical advice. Speak to a medical professional if your skin concerns are affecting your well-being.

Oily/acne-prone skin type
Country: Chile
Main skin concern: Acne and oily skin
Current routine/Products I use
Morning: * Cosrx Low pH Good Morning * Neutrogena Hydroboost * Eucerin Oil Control Sunscreen
Night: * Cosrx Low pH Good Morning * Cosrx BHA (Monday-Wednesday-Friday) * Neutrogena Hydroboost
I’m looking for a cream that works for oily, acne-prone skin. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, I have sensitive oily acne-prone skin. I think my skin barrier is damaged from years using different stuff (topical tretinoin, benzoyl peroxide, Clindamycin, Adapalene) whenever my acne flares up (horribly so, with nodules and cysts). And I think it’s damaged because I get red spots, products that didn’t burn before (benzoyl peroxide) now burns me even if I use a little, my skin has shine and oil but my cheeks feel kinda tight and around my mouth it’s a bit flakey.
So I want to ask if this routine is good to fix my damaged skin barrier:
AM:
Wash face with water only
Isntree – Green Tea Fresh Toner
Purito SEOUL – Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream
House of Hur – Weightless Sun Fluid
PM:
SKIN1004 – Madagascar Centella Hyalu-cica Gentle Cleansing Milk (if I use makeup)
Kisocare – Amino Washing Form
Isntree – Green Tea Fresh Toner
Haruharu Wonder – Black Rice 5 Ceramide Barrier Moisturizing Cream
Purito SEOUL – Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream
I also heard mineral sunscreens are a better option for damaged skin barrier but I just love the House of Hur one. It doesn’t sting, doesn’t burn, leaves a matte finish on the skin.
Please if you have any recommendations or suggestions for my routine, I want to read it.
