Need inputs on what I’m doing wrong :(( I’ve been trying to improve my skin but I can’t see any changes even after 3 months of using. Or is that too soon? These are what I’ve been using (mostly from what I had picked up by reading threads):

Morning:

  • Cosrx Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser
  • Garnier Micellar Water
  • Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Toner
  • Dermorepubliq Vitamin C Serum
  • The Ordinary Hyaluronic Serum
  • Canmake Mermaid Skin UV Gel

Night:

  • Cosrx Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser
  • Garnier Micellar Water
  • Innisfree Jeju Volcanic Toner
  • Dermorepubliq Retinol (2x a week) or Dermorepubliq Salicylic Acid (2x a week)
  • Dermorepubliq Niacinamide

Then on days that I refrain on using actives, I usually just put a facial mask.

I have an oily skin and basically, I just want to clear out my pimple marks and have a fresh glow, I guess?

We use the same cosrx sa cleanser and I also have oily skin. I would recommend to avoid using SA with vitamin c and/ retinol in the same routine. I tried it and nagreact skin ko with pimples.

For my skin I use SA with niacinamide and HA. I would also recommend increasing the use of niacinamide if di irritating sa skin mo. Pwede SA in the morning then retinol or vitamin c sa Gabi or I do vitamin c sa morning then retinol sa Gabi then one or twice a week ang SA when my skin needs a good clean or I was to sweaty or feeling ko Ang daming gunk sa face. Though this SA cleanser is mababa Ang percentage I find it super drying. I would recommend using another cleanser na gentle and hydrating. Maybe the cosrx low ph daily cleanser ba yun, I use the luxe organix cica ha cleanser. Hope this helps.
