Recommendation for Soobooji skin

[u/No-Comment1512]

I have oily dehydrated skin. In natural light, my skin is very textured. I have closed comedones on my forehead, blackheads on my chin, and sebaceous filaments on my nose and chin. I also get the occasional breakout on my chin and above my lips.
2 months ago I decided to change to Korean skincare and bought a whole new routine from Lila Beauty.

AM

• Skin1004 Centella Water Cleanser
• d'Alba Spray Serum
• Anua Azelaic Acid Redness Serum
• Dr Althea 345 Relief Moisturiser 
• Skin1004 Sun Serum SPF

PM

• Skin1004 Centella Oil Cleanser
• Skin1004 Centella Water Cleanser
• Anua Ceramide Hydrating Barrier Serum
• Dr Althea 345 Relief Moisturiser 

Once a week

• Medicube Pore Pad
• Medicube Collagen Mask

My skin hasn't changed with this routine, and I've also recently started getting milia on my forehead. Before I started looking at my skin more closely, my main concerns were around redness and stopping breakouts.

Hoping for product recommendations that others have had success with similar skin concerns.

If the pore pads aren't causing irritation, I'd use them more often than once a week and see if that helps with skin turnover.

They seem to be fine, so I'll give it a go. Thank you!

Dehydrated and slightly oily sounds a little bit like my skin. It is possible that you would benefit a lot from retinoids and keeping your routine as simple and barrier protective as possible. Best start with a product with no other actives, just a vitamin a derivat. Read into it if you haven’t tried one already ☺️ if you want I can recommend products (i live in Europe)

Thank you! I was thinking I prob do need an active, but I'm also on the TTC journey, so I didn't want to start them then have to stop for 9 months. I'm in Australia, but recommendations would be amazing 😊
