From good to amazing skin
Our take
Hey, glam squad! While I’m pretty content with my skin, rocking that combination vibe with an oily T-zone and normal to dry cheeks, I can’t help but dream of taking it from good to absolutely amazing. My routine is pretty solid—think retinol, BHA, sunscreen, and niacinamide serum—but I believe there’s always room for improvement. So, I’m on the hunt for that game-changing product that can elevate my skincare game. What recommendations do you have that made a real difference for you? Let’s get glowing!
Hey guys, I’m generally pretty happy with my skin. I have combination skin. My T-zone is slightly oily, while the rest is more normal to dry. I don’t really struggle with breakouts, large pores, or any major concerns.
I already have a solid routine with retinol, BHA, sunscreen, and a niacinamide serum.
But even though my skin is good, I feel like it could be better. Like going from good to amazing.
Do you have any product recommendations that really made that difference for you?

- Rate my skincare routine! (Or really, just give me advice how to do better)Hiya - when my son was applying to college last yer there were all these "rate my chances" sites he looked at. I kept thinking I want that for my skincare routine! So I'm finally asking. :). I am a 54yo white woman. My skin doesn't have any real problems and I've always been super grateful for that! My "issues" are just normal aging -- lack of firmness (hate that), some fine lines that I don't mind too much (yet, lol) and some marionette lines (also hate). I am interested in doing all I can to maintain my skin's health and youthfulness as well as I can for as long as I can (without any botox, needles, fillers or surgery). Here's what I currently do: Morning: Wash with Kate Somerville Exfolikate Cleanser or sometimes lately Tatcha Rice Wash Skin Cleanser Sometimes - not every day, but about idk, about 2 times a week - i use Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Universal Daily Peel pads Apply 1 squirt of Sunday Riley Good Genes Lactic Acid Serum Apply a dab of moisturizer - either good ol' Cerave or, more often, Clarins Multi-Active Jour Niacinamide + Sea Holly Extract Sunscreen up! ROC Hydration+ Moisuturizer with Hyaluronic Accid (spf30) Evening: Wash with Kate Somerville Exfolikate Cleanser Apply pea-sized amount Tretinoin 0.025% one my face, another same size amount on my neck and upper chest area Moisturize with Dr. Dennis Gross Advanced Retinol and Ferulic Intense Wrinkle Cream Every once in a while (approx 1-2 times per week): instead of the trent and Dennis Gross moisturizer, I do this combo: Kate Somerville Exfolikate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment followed by a healthy squirt of Biossance Squalane+ Vitamin C Rose Oil I don't know much about what ingredients I need. I've read articles but it just never sticks in my brain. So what I'd really like to know from you is: Anything I am missing from my routine? Anything I can cut out? I feel like I fell into some of these products. Sure, I like how they feel on my skin -- but are they working for me? (Or duplicated by something else?) Any thing I'm wasting my money on? (Probably a lot, lol) I'd love to know some cheaper swaps that will do the job just as well or better. In short: what can I do better?? I included links here not as advertisements but so you can look at the ingredients if you're not familiar with the product. Thank you!! submitted by /u/SomewhereOptimal2401 [link] [comments]
- Skincare AdviceHello! I have oily skin and I’m very prone to blackheads and whiteheads. My main concern is my pores, they look super visible (I know it’s normal, but sometimes it can still be really bothersome 😭). Even when I wear skin tint or makeup, they’re still noticeable. I’m currently using COSRX Salicylic Acid Pore Cleanser, Skinlab Tomato Toner, and Moisturizer, but I’m not really seeing any improvement with my pores. I’m not acne-prone (thankfully), so my main issues are really oiliness and pore appearance. Do you have any product recommendations or routine tips that worked for you in minimizing pores and controlling oil? I’m also thinking of trying retinol, but I’m not sure if it’s necessary for my concerns or if it might be too much. Do you think it would help, or should I focus on other product first? Any advice or experiences would really help. Thank you so much in advance!! 🤍 submitted by /u/bananabore [link] [comments]
- Need some advice on my skincare routineHi everyone, I’m new to skincare and haven’t really had a consistent skincare routine until recently so I wanted to get opinions on my current routine. I’m a 26 year old woman. I have normal to combination skin that feels balanced after cleansing, with slightly more visible pores and oil in my nose and inner cheek area. I don’t get much acne, just occasional small whiteheads, but I do have noticeable sebaceous filaments on my nose. I have some persistent redness around my nostrils that’s always there but not irritated or flaky. My skin has freckles and tends to develop more pigmentation in the sun, with some larger flat sun spots as I’ve gotten older. I’m starting to see mild fine lines around my eyes and on my forehead, especially when my skin is dehydrated, but overall my skin is pretty even and not very sensitive. Here is my current routine: Mornings: Cleanser→ Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser Vitamin C→ SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic Azelaic acid (nose / redness)→ Paula’s Choice 10% Azelaic Acid Booster Skinfix Moisturizer Supergoop Sunscreen SPF 40 Evenings: Retinol nights (most nights) Cleanser→ Cetaphil Oily Skin Cleanser Retinol→ CeraVe Resurfacing Retinol Serum Skinfix moisturizer BHA nights (2x/week) (Monday and Thursday) Cleanser BHA (nose + pores)→ Paula’s Choice 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant Skinfix moisturizer submitted by /u/eveningcrimson [link] [comments]
- skin care help!!hiya divas! i'm a 23 year old who is struggling to find the right skin-care routine. i have dry skin and fairly large pores. i'm prone to acne breakouts as well, though it isn't bad enough for me to use acne products just a couple here and there. i'm currently using Cerave face wash and moisturizer, along with The Ordinary niacinamide serum, plus a hydrating toner and using a glycolic acid toner twice a week. my skin is better, but the pores and a few wrinkles around my eyes are bothering me really badly. any suggestions for a glass skin look? bonus for anyone who can give me a good hydrating primer that's cheap, my makeup is always cakey i swear submitted by /u/CurrentAggressive466 [link] [comments]
