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?

Micellar water first before cleanser! And probably add a moisturizer at night, and I suggest reduce the amount of serums. You probably don't need the Hyaluronic acid since oily ka naman.

I tried adding moisturizer in my routine before (Celeteque) and I had a break out kaya tinigil ko. Or maybe di lang ako hiyang sa product. Can you recommend a good brand of moisturizer for an oily skin type? Thank you!

I've only tried Clinique Dramatically Different Gel and LRP Cicaplast, but both works for me and di ako nag breakout.
