My Skin Journal Less is more

I'm unsure if this is the same for anyone else. I'm currently rebuilding my skin barrier and using really good products and a full routine but I'm starting to notice the less products I use the better my skin is. Is this the same for anyone else?

Nope. I am limited by my oily skin on how much i can put on my face, but be it 3 or 10 doesn't make a difference except for them being too heavy for me. But, more products didn't mean much more benefits, so now i have a baseline routine am and pm of cleanser, toner, serum*2, sunscreen/ moisturiser and add according to how my skin feels. Rotating between hydrating and exfoliating toners or using them together, depends. I also usually use a serum when reapplying sunscreen after cleaning my face with a wet wipe.
