New here, but excited to share my baby-step routine since my skin has been loving the transition to AB!
Skin profile: NC15 | hormonal acne, PIE, fine lines, some CCs & SFs | Combination dehydrated with oily nose/chin only Season & Type of Climate: Oregon, USA summer (temperate, moderate humidity) 1st Cleanser: Garnier micellar water and/or Boscia cooling cleansing oil- maybe RP both... Boscia oil is $$ for the size. 2nd Cleanser: Sunday Riley Ceramic Slip- RP/borderline HG pH Adjusting Toner: PM only- Let's Cure Pure Skin Basic Step Exfoliator- RP, maybe HG Active (not sure how to really categorize this): PM only- Kiehl's Nightly Refining Micro-peel Concentrate- RP Hydrating Toner: Hada Labo Gokujyun Light- maybe RP Essence: Benton Snail Bee Essence- RP, maybe HG Serum: PM only- Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate- HG Light Moisturizer: Kiehl's Ultra Facial Oil-free Gel Cream- WNR Medium Moisturizer: currently on the hunt for one! Eye Cream: Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment- RP Facial Oil: hormone-balancing oil blend made by a local esthetician, applied to jawline- contains spearmint, fenugreek, holy basil, clary sage, chaste berry, sacha inchi, and evening primrose- RP Sheet Mask: My Scheming (normal silk line) Black Pearl Brightening- HG, Hot Spring Water- RP; Dermal Korea Collagen Snail- RP. Just ordered some Freeset Donkey Milk Healing and can't wait to try! Sunscreen: Tarte Amazonian Clay BB (sadly only SPF 20)- RP but only until I find a replacement with higher SPF. Finding a sunscreen that doesn't break me out has been a major struggle. Want to try the Paula's Choice Resist Super-Light Wrinkle Defense next. Also use a makeup setting powder with SPF 20. Spot Treatment: Rx- Aczone. HG, works on large cysts. Other: oral zinc-methionine complex (OptiZinc) 30mg/day has helped a lot with my hormonal acne (large cysts on jawline only) and allowed me to taper off minocycline.
