Oily skin and moisturizer
Our take
Its been a while since I hadn’t had a proper skincare routine and stayed consistent, and I really want to try being a better version of myself.
I’ve always had this skin type (oily, clogged pores, sebaceous filaments). I did try skincare once before but I couldn’t stay consistent, so I stopped. But in the meantime I started drinking more water (around 1.5L a day), because before I barely drank any, and I did notice a small difference ; my skin felt nicer and a bit less oily.
But I still have clogged pores, sebaceous filaments, and oily skin, so that’s why I wanted to start skincare again. I've always been insecure about my skin and I'm currently 20.
This time I tried to keep it minimal because before I had too many products. So I only got the basics: a cleansing oil (Centella), a cleansing foam (Anua), a BHA blackhead liquid (COSRX), Dr Althea 345 moisturizer, and sunscreen (Round Lab 1025 Dokdo).
I’ve only been using them for a week, morning and night, but the moisturizer… I don’t really like it. I feel like it’s not lightweight enough for me unfortunately.
I don’t know if I should keep using it and maybe my skin just needs time to adapt, or if I should stop using the 345 cream. And if I stop it, can I just use sunscreen as a moisturizer in the morning? Apparently it is hydrating too, i dont know if it can replace a moisturizer tho.....

- Skincare routine - How do I do with these products?37F, skin prone to clogged pores, still don’t know what exactly is the order of applying these products. I have the following I know: Cleanser - obvious Toner - I use it each time after washing my face to keep the sebum under control Moisturiser - comes last But then there are these: Vitamin-C (or any other kind of serum) - before moisturiser but then there’s an uncomfortable layer on my skin Sunscreen - comes after moisturiser or instead of it? And what if you apply foundation? I’ve recently started using it and normally do it after moisturiser but what about sunscreen? Does it have any impact if I apply it under the foundation? I don’t have any specific night care. Just once in a blue moon I apply argan oil. Also, do you use cleanser every morning (nights are obvious) or is just water enough? I feel like it isn’t especially because of removing the remains of moisturiser but also feel like it’s kind of too aggressive to my skin. submitted by /u/foreveronthemove [link] [comments]
- 25 and my skin looks ROUGH, help!!Hi! I am a 25F with skin that shouldn't look as bad as it does. Wrinkles on my forehead, lots of texture, and dark spots from acne. My skin is hard to read in terms of oily vs dry but it is acne prone and definitely can get dry at times and oily at other times. Right now, this has been my night routine for a few months. It hasn't been great in eliminating lines, spots or texture but my skin has felt more hydrated. - Round lab foam cleanser - Anua peach toner - Prescription tret - Cetaphil daily moisturizing lotion for dry sensitive skin I am ashamed to admit it but in the morning I usually just throw on SPF 50 and call it good. I have been doing some research but I am getting kinda overwhelmed with all the info I am getting. Would these be better routines to match my needs? Do any of these products interact? Night: - Ma:nyo pure cleansing oil - Vanicream cleanser - Byoma milky toner - Prescription tret/The Ordinary Azelaic acid suspension 10% cream, alternating every other day - Avene Cicalfate protective cream Morning: - Vanicream cleanser - Byoma milky toner - SPF moisturizer submitted by /u/ranch518 [link] [comments]
- i cut my skincare down to 3 products and my skin got better and im kinda mad about itso embarrassing but i was doing the full 7 step routine for almost 2 years. toner essence serum spot treatment moisturizer oil spf. the whole thing. spent way too much money on fancy actives. my skin was fine i guess but i had this weird dullness and random breakouts i couldn't figure out. got really busy two weeks ago and couldn't be bothered so i just did cleanser + moisturizer + spf. no actives, nothing layered, like the most basic routine possible. my skin looks. better?? the texture i was trying to fix with 50 products just kinda went away. breakouts stopped. i'm honestly a little annoyed because i wasted so much money trying to fix problems i was probably creating myself. is this the skin minimalism thing everyone keeps talking about or was my barrier just destroyed this whole time. lowkey scared to add anything back now submitted by /u/defnemua [link] [comments]
- Skincare struggle advice and how to reduce poreHiiii! I’m 21F and I have very combination-to-oily skin. Since it’s summer, it gets worse — I need 2–3 blotting sheets just to control the oil, and I always use each sheet only once. My skincare routine includes a cream acne cleanser, RL Dokdo toner, Skin1004 brightening serum, and a moisturizer. At night, I use a Meditherapy retinol 3 times a week instead of the serum. My pores don’t seem to be improving, and my skin often looks dull. I don’t really struggle with acne—just 3–4 pimples a month—but I do have a habit of picking at blackheads and whiteheads I can’t resist. My whiteheads also seem to appear almost overnight, even though I don’t wear makeup. I’ve realized I’m not using any exfoliator, so even after cleansing my skin still feels oily and not fully clean. If anyone has similar skin or has dealt with this before, I’d really appreciate feedbacks or any product for managing oiliness, reducing blackheads, and improving the appearance of pores. Pls pls pls help a girl out! submitted by /u/Puzzled_Classroom743 [link] [comments]
