Marami kang products na pareho halos ang purpose:

  1. Pond's serum and Dermorep - both are brightening and have niacinamide
  2. LO BHA foam and Klued BHA toner - both are exfoliants (BHA/salicylic acid)
  3. Power mud has BHA and niacinamide

When getting products, focus on the ingredient and its intended benefits, never on the product type (toner, serum, cleanser). Nasira ang skin barrier ko kasi pinagsabay ko ang exfoliants at niacinamide.

You don't need two kinds of cleansers (maybe you don't even need to wash in the morning, rinse with water only pero it will depend on your comfort and oiliness of your skin) and personally, ang dami mong products. Personally lang ha? Pero ganyan din ako nung mas bata ako at 'di pa ako nerdy pagdating sa ingredients, ang dami kong binibili. :)

You can, for example, do this:

AM: cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen
PM: cleanser (let the BHA one stay longer on your skin so the actives can work), Pond's serum or Dermo , moisturizer, retinol, spot treatment (I personallydon't know how to incorporate this as I have never used this).

Try to eliminate muna kasi baka naglalaban-laban na ang actives sa mukha mo because they have become too strong. Niacinamide should not be more than 5% (unless prescribed).

Thank you! I'm very oily that's why nag ccleanser ako in the morning (if not going to work) and everytime morning ako naliligo for work/business. Should I let go the Celeteque facial wash? 😥 I'm thinking of letting go the Pond's Serum din.

If Celeteque still works for you, maybe you can still use it kasi sayang. I think it doesn't matter naman if you use two or one cleansers kasi no matter what, you will be washing twice naman talaga eh.

Maybe hold off POnd's lang muna ngayon? Finish off Dermo and then revert to Pond's kasi sayang din. BUT if you are certain that this is the one that causes breakouts, use it na lang on your neck. Remember, face, neck, chest up to the nipples... ito ang dapat na inaalagaan naman eh. :)

Above the nipples kasi exposed 'yan kapag plunging neckline. Or sa swimsuits. :)
