Hey guys,

I love AB skincare especially as a self care/relaxing ritual.

I've been using AB products for almost 1 year. I've noticed that since beginning to pay more attention to my skin, that dealing with problems I never had when all I did was cleanse with some clean and clear shitty cleanser and sometimes use witch hazel with alcohol. The problem that surprises me most is dry/dehydrated skin. My skin is dry and flaky despite how I'm making a much more concerted effort to hydrate than ever before. I just began using Kiku and someone mentioned that sake contains ethanol, so maybe dial back on that? Am I just aging? Any ideas? The dryness is bad enough that it's hard to use concealer.

I have combination skin Here's my routine

AM Hadalabo oil cleanser CeraVe hydrating cleanser Tosowoong green tea essence hadalabo premium Cosrx snail AIC Cosrx hyaluronic acid lotion Sun Bears Strong Super Plus SPF 50

PM Botanic Farm Cleansing Sherbert CeraVe hydrating cleanser Thayers Witch hazel Melano CC Tosowoong green tea essence Cosrx 96 Snail essence Layers of a mix of hydrating toners: hadalabo regular and premium moist, isntree hyaluronic acid toner Shark Sauce Purito Buffet serum Holika Holika aloe gel Sheet mask (always without alcohol) CeraVe in the tub Cosrx balancium Mr Honey Cream

I use lotion p50 and tret 2 times per week or less on different nights

Any thoughts?? Thx in advance
